Hit the Gas if a Tire Blowout

A couple flipped their class A rig while pulling a truck last week after a tire blew out on a main Florida interstate. They are OK, but vehicles are a loss. Check out Michelin Tire's video on how to handle a blowout by accelerating and corrective steering.

Plane Crashes Into SC RV Resort

Very sad that two have lost their lives and another is severely injured at the Briarcliffe RV Resort in North Myrtle Beach. Life can change in an instant even if you haven't put yourself in harm's way. Best to live each day as if counts, a lot.

Freightliner brand mark on wheel

Did you know you can tell it's a Freightliner chassis by the star-like mark in the middle of the wheel? Found out from at dealer at the Florida SuperShow in Tampa yesterday.

Final 2 days of Florida RV SuperShow

Don't miss the 2011 SuperShow in at the Tampa Florida Fairgrounds. The show is packed with awesome offerings from the manufacturers and even though it's crowded, everyone is super friendly. Make sure you check out the Galileo trailers with just the right mix of solid engineering, modern design, and eco-smart materials. They're not available at dealers, so this is the perfect opportunity to see one in person.

Free Entrance Days at National Parks

The National Park Service announced the 2011 dates in which entrance fees to the parks are waived. Better plan ahead if you plan on camping at one of the parks during these free entrance days because they will probably be busier than normal. Don't forget that camping and other fees are not waived, just the entrance fees. Check out the dates here:
