You may remember the days when RVs didn’t even have one TV installed. Now, newer RVs are being designed with three, sometimes four, TVs. Can you believe it?. If you have an older RV, chances are you only have one (or two) TVs. But if you just bought a new model, you probably have three or four. Are we right? How many televisions are in your RV?

It only works in disaster films – and then, only if you’re the hero. Ripping off anything from cars to helicopters is a staple for actors in disaster films. The hero needs to save the world, and that Jeep over there is just the ticket. Maybe a dumb crook in Oklahoma pictured himself the hero when he “traded in” one RV for another, without paying.

If you think heavy trucks damage roads, look sharp. If you worry that heavy trucks pose safety issues on the highway, listen up. Under current federal law, fully-loaded semi-trucks are maxed out at 80,000 pounds. But a law pending in Congress would allow semi-trucks on freeways in the U.S. that scale in 91,000 pounds.

I can’t seem to find an owner’s manual anywhere online. I contacted Travel Lite with no response. Any other sources? —Paul, 2019 Travel Lite Aura 22RK. This is a common question. Owner’s manuals are typically very hard or impossible to find, especially with the revolving door or merry-go-round of companies closing and new owners stepping in. Many times, the original company closes and an investment group buys the name with little or no assets remaining. Monaco, Fleetwood, Holiday Rambler, and Alpha are just a few examples.

Where can I get an owner’s manual for my RV?

The president of the Navajo Nation unsuccessfully attempted to stop two semi trucks from hauling uranium through tribal land this week. Back in 2012, the Navajo Nation passed the Radioactive and Related Substances Equipment, Vehicles, Persons and Materials Transportation Act. This act technically banned the transport of uranium through the tribe’s reservation, but is not legally enforceable on highways due to a technicality, reported KJZZ.
