RV Navigator Episode 45 - old or new

Published: Nov. 1, 2009, 4:39 p.m.

b'Despite the very cold and rainy October in the midwest, we did get away for a short weekend of RVing with some new friends who have just purchased a new 2009 motorhome. You\'ll hear about the purchase and their impressions in an interview we conducted while on the road in Indiana. \\nI have had requests for the webpages that we used most often when RVing. I have created a new page on this website that will get you started with some of my favorite links. I am focused on quality rather than quantity, so this list is not comprehensive. However, I think you\'ll each of sites is best in class for their category.\\nHave you "moded" your RV? We are always looking for step by step mods for customizing our motorhome, so we have revisited the RV Mods website for some ideas.\\nWe have also made some hardware updates this month with the purchase of a Kindle from Amizon. The co-pilot is tired of carrying arm loads of books to keep her busy during our travels, so she invested in a Kindle. This is version 2 so has several improvements over the original. This along with the iPhones will keep our lengthy travels more interesting. \\nSpeaking of the iPhone and satellites (yes, I was), the newest app for me is the satellite finder. This app super imposes satellite positions over a live picture of your campsite. Where to park to get connected will be much easier with this app for the iPhone.\\nWe alson take the RV Trivia Challenge -live - during the podcast. Ten easy questions about RVing for those who have been RVing for 30 years. Well, they turn out to be not so easy - we missed 3. How will you do?\\nThis episode is nearly an hour long - sorry but the interview and our usual comments just could not be editied further. You\'ll be glad to know that I did edit over 10 minutes out of the originals. \\nNext months episode may be either early or late due to travel schedules. We are headed overseas where we cannot always depend on good connections for uploading our content. Rest assured we will make every effort to be timely with the next episode.\\nWe appreciate your comments and suggestions both by email (navigator@rvnavigator.com) and on our listener comment phone line, 815/230-0772. Also send us your rig photos for inclusion on the "rig photos" page. There are many new rigs represented so send yours in now.'
