A while back our friends Chris Dunphy & Cherie Ve Ard from Technomadia contacted me to invite me to check out a new project they’ve been helping develop called RVillage, but at the time I was involved in so many different things that I never did really did get to it. Since then the project has come a long way, and RVillage is now live, and it’s easy to see that it is going to be a great resource for RVers.
According to an announcement on Technomadia, the core idea of RVillage was to create a very simple (and free) tool for RVers to connect with each other. Not just online, but right in the RV parks and places they are currently staying in. When a user checks into a location in RVillage, they can discover the things that they have in common with other RVers that are nearby. Check it out, I think this new social network is going to be a winner!
Something else new you might find interesting is Flippin’ RVs, a new reality TV show in which husband and wife team Justin and Anna Scribner seek out rare vintage and collectible travel trailers around the country and take them back to their shop, Flyte Camp Vintage Trailer Restoration, in Bend, Oregon to restore them to their original glory. In case you missed the premiere, it airs again tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8 and 10 p.m. EDT/7PM and 9PM PDT on Great American Country. Here’s a link to a You Tube sample of the show.

I want to take a moment to thank Phil May from TechnoRV for his great customer service. Back in December, 2012, I bought a Rand McNally RV GPS from Phil, and promptly stuck it in a corner and forgot all about it until we began our travels last summer. As it turned out, the GPS had a problem, and in my typical airhead way, I didn’t get back to Phil about it until just a couple of weeks ago. Part of that was because Phil’s wife Traci has been dealing with a serious illness and he had enough on his plate without me bothering him. But when I did finally contact him, he immediately took care of the problem. That’s the kind of customer service that makes a business succeed long term. If you need anything from a GPS to an Electrical Management System to a cell phone booster to a tire pressure monitoring system, and a hundred other goodies no RVer should be without, you can trust my friend Phil to take care of you and treat you right after the sale.
We spent most of yesterday with my cousin Beverly, who has been having some health issues lately, and today we say a reluctant goodbye to her and to Tucson and return to Santa Fe RV Park in Apache Junction. I want to get up there and settled in by mid-day, because my daughter Tiffany and her husband Scott are going to be in town for his job and are going to stop by for a visit. If Tiffany smiles real pretty and bats those big eyelashes of hers, I might even take them to dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant.
