Bristol TN - The Birthplace of Country Music & Famed NASCAR

Bristol’s biggest claim to fame happened in 1927. Bristol Sessions came about when Ralph Peer, a producer for Victor Talking Machine Company, later RCA Victor, wanted to record “Hillbilly music.” Ernest Stoneman, an Appalachian musician who with his wife, Hattie, was already recording for Victor, suggested Bristol. At the sessions, Peer recorded 76 songs by 19 musicians or groups. In 2002, The Library of Congress National Recording Registry ranked the 1927 Bristol Sessions among the 50 most significant sound recording events of all time and named Bristol “The Birthplace of Country Music.” Today’s podcast was written by Kathleen Walls and presented by Perry Mack

Mathews County - Bright sunshine, beaches and outdoor leisure are just a few of the attractions

About an hour east of the i95 from Richmond or two hours southeast of the acclaimed Civil War attractions in Fredericksburg, Mathews County and the county seat of the same name serve as a winter destination in this region of Virginia. Mathews County in Virginia’s Middle Peninsula is plotted with a number of rural communities with access to two RV parks, scenic downtown districts, waterways, boat tours, and numerous trails. Of course, you can always sink your teeth into some of the best oysters in the state anytime.

Gaffney - South Carolina's Surprising Gem

Small towns are the perfect getaway for Snowbirds. Why fight traffic and spend time hunting for parking spots when you can visit small towns like Gaffney with so much to see and do without all the big city hassle? Gaffney in Cherokee County is known as “The Peach Capital of South Carolina” because at one time, Cherokee County produced more peaches annually than the entire state of Georgia which calls itself the "Peach State." Even more interesting, Gaffney has a pivotal place in history. Had the Patriots not won at the Battle of Cowpens, what are now the southern U.S. states might still English territory.

When and How To Maintain a Fifth Wheel Hitch

It’s snowbird season, and you’ve decided to set out on a journey with a fifth wheel. It will become a reliable and comfortable home base during your travels. There are several benefits of owning this class of RV. One of its distinguishable differences from any type of travel trailer, however, is the fifth wheel hitch, which mounts in the bed of the tow vehicle and positions the tongue weight over—or just in front—of the rear axle. Routine care and understanding its components are essential to achieving the peace of mind you want when you’re travelling this snowbird season.

Lithium-ion Batteries & Cold Weather

RVing in the winter isn’t limited to snowbirds visiting southern destinations. Many enthusiasts north of the border embrace the snow and cold temperatures, using their rigs to set up camp at local ski resorts or select parks to partake in seasonal cheer and enjoy outdoor recreation. These activities lead to the use of lithium-ion batteries, as well as other types of batteries, and how they are affected by cold temperatures. Knowing how the winter weather impacts portable power can help smooth out the purchasing process, from understanding longevity and cost savings to daily performance.

A Canadian Snowbird’s Journey on U.S. Route 101

We made going home an adventure by exploring the scenic coastal states of California, Oregon, and Washington. Many full-time RVers typically spend their winters snowbirding in Arizona to escape the cool and dreary weather in British Columbia. On a recent trip home from the Grand Canyon State, we decided to drive west toward Los Angeles and experience the famed U.S. Route 101. Story and Photos by Larry MacDonald and presented by Perry Mack This is one of the most significant continuous highways in the U.S. and extends through California, Oregon, and Washington. Many full-service RV parks are easily accessible, and with several scenic attractions, the route provided the perfect, relaxing trip for our journey back to BC.
