We've mentioned iOverlander in two other blog posts (Top 5 Camping Apps and How to Find Free and Discounted RV Parking) but it is such a great app for finding boondocking locations we thought it deserved it's own post.

Whether you are a rookie or have been camping in RVs for years, you can make a mistake now and then.  Sometimes you just don’t know any better.  Sometimes you get out of sync with your routine.  Even experts get complacent or forgetful.

When you're first starting the RV life it can be very overwhelming. Checklists for departing, arriving, etc. can be very helpful in ensuring you don't make mistakes. After a while, it seems to become second nature but even a seasoned RVer can benefit from having a checklist. We've posted a few articles recently about common mistakes RVers make, having a checklist can certainly help to prevent some of those mistakes.

We know there are many RVers out there that enjoy their walkie-talkies (hello parking communication!).

Boondockers Welcome was originally designed to offer guests a safe place to boondock for a night or two. As we grew, so did our hosts' generosity with many offering electric and water. However, some guests may not realize what is needed to take advantage of a host's generous offer. Thankfully GTS1544, a popular host, has written a very informative article on what guests should prepare to bring in order to connect properly to a hosts' electric or water connections.
