LOL....

People RV for a lot of great reasons.

Mostly (90%?), people RV for short, fun vacations and getaways with family/friends (and their RVs sit in storage 340 days per year)

Some people use their RVs more often for fun (...these are the lucky ones!)

Some people use RVs for temporary housing during home remodels/etc.

Some people use RVs to live in because they cannot afford renting an apartment/home.

Some people live in RVs full time because they want the freedom to travel anywhere in the country.

I'm guessing 0.0001% of people RV "to use less electricity" and to "save the planet". Do you think the author of that article knows this? Probable. Fun to read anyways.

Thanks for posting. Not my cup a tea, but looks like the people are having a good time.

What do you think about my new green RV?

The engine is small (only 4 horsepower), but it gets me to where I'm going...

I'll be installing solar next week.

I am having one problem though....My black waste tank sensors aren't working properly. Does anyone know where I can find some ice to put in the tank so that I can drive around and clean those sensors??

What is ice? And how do I keep the black tank valves from leaking?

Interesting article. It is concentrating on people who are trying to save the planet by living in an RV. Sure, if it makes them happy.
