Life on Wheels
Learning about becoming a full-time RVer can be challenging. Research
takes time. And if you wait to learn about the lifestyle until you get on
the road you could make some expensive mistakes in the process. Buying an
RV isn't like buying a house. And when your land line and mailbox go away
paying the bills and staying in touch with family and friends becomes more
difficult. But the full-timing lifestyle for those of us with even a
little bit of nomad in us is well worth the challenges.
So, how can a wannabe or new to the road full-timer get up to speed
quickly? One way is to attend a Life on Wheels Conference, where many of
the lifestyle and equipment experts give classes. Not only can you listen
to their presentations, but you can visit with them one on one.
Gaylord Maxwell recognized the complexity of the full-timing lifestyle
and the need for educating the serious RVer about the lifestyle and its
options. To address this need he founded the Life on Wheels Conference.
The conference is based at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. Every
summer a week long conference is held in Moscow. There are also extension
programs, which run three days. One of these is held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
just before the big RV show. A great combination for those who have not
selected their wheel estate yet.
The Life on Wheels Conference in Moscow offers over 100 different
how-to, where-to and what-to classes that fall into three categories:
Lifestyle: full-timing, camping options, choosing an RV, packing an
RV, RV driving lessons, budgeting, etc.
Technical: understanding and maintaining RV systems, improving gas
and diesel engine performance, weight safety, tire safety, etc.
Lifestyle Enhancement: photo classes, RV cooking, health
maintenance, places to visit, etc.
Attending a Life on Wheels Conference can be intense and overwhelming,
but you are guaranteed to leave with lots of knowledge and some new
friends.
