Replacing the RV Mattress: Sleeping as Comfortably on the Road as You Do at Home
Still sleeping on the standard RV mattress that came with your rig? You’re not alone. When we bought our first travel trailer, we made two big rookie mistakes: We went out and bought discount store, cheap bed-in-a-bag sheets and blankets for all our beds. We slept on the original RV mattress for over three years. Now think about this. We had invested in a brand new, bunkhouse travel trailer in order to have the comforts of home while we were on the road and at the campground. But then for some reason, we skimped on the beds and bedding.... Read More

Make-Ahead Meals for RV Vacations
RVers love grilling or cooking over an open fire. But many also ask us for great make-ahead meals for their RV vacations.

Well, we practice what we preach, and in early January I went in... Read More

Our First RV Rental: Visiting Disney World and Fort Wilderness with a Lazydays RV Rental
After booking a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida for this past January, we faced a dilemma: should we take at least two days on both ends of the family vacation to tow our RV south from New Jersey, or just stay in a hotel like so many other travelers? Unfortunately, neither of these options worked for us. We didn’t have the time to make the drive, and hotels are stressful, uncomfortable, and expensive for our family of five. So we figured out a third option: fly down to Florida, rent an RV from Lazydays in Tampa, and stay in the... Read More
