I love Sean and Kristie of the longlonghoneymoon.com web site. They are the rock stars of the RV set. And Sean makes hands down the best videos in the biz. Here is another one on “the scoop” method of backing in your trailer in to a camp site.

This video from Sean Michael of the Long Long Honeymoon has an excellent message about beating the high price of gasoline. In another words there are many ways to go RVing.

Though gas isn’t as high as it was last summer, it is still probably the largest item you pay for on your RV trip.

RV Gas Mileage: How to Beat High Gas Prices!

We had a really good time at the New Brighton State Beach park. The state park is located off of Highway 1 just outside of Capitola, CA.

It is a state park (though its not threatened of closing with the Cal budget crisis) sitting on the bluffs above the beach. We had power and water, but no sewer (there is a dump station at the entrance to the park).

A nice campground, though the sites were a little close together. The best sites, the ones with a great view of the ocean, don’t have power and cost extra ($10 more a night on top of the $35 a night).

New Brighton is one of the best camp sites you can stay at in the Cal state park system. It has a nice beach below the buffs and it is 10 minutes from the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk.

See the video for the highlights of our trip.

If you aren’t a member of Good Sam, I strongly suggest you join. It is $30 a year and more than pays for itself many times over in just the Good Sam member discounts at RV parks.

If you are a member, there is currently an extra benefit that I think you’ll be interested in. If you look in the current (June 2009) Good Sam Highways magazine, on page 23 you will see some great discounts for parts and service at Camping World.

You can get up to $300 off their Procare service is you show the discount coupon at your local Camping World among other discounts.Some great deals are offered just in time for the summer.

1. RV Towing Safety This is another great video from Mark Polk of RV...

This is a really informative video, and well worth the time to watch it.

Fun fact: “For every five miles you go over 60 mph you add the equivalent of 10 cents more per gallon you will pay at the pump.”

The following I’ve heard before but none-the-less important. Check your tire pressure when the tires are cold (before you start your trip). Always keep them inflated at the factory recommended level. Don’t run the air conditioning unless you really need it. Use the cruise control as much as possible. It will keep the engine at a smooth level and consume less gas.
