Article by David Thorson

RV based family vacations are a fabulous way to see The USA and an especially good way to see the National Parks, one of the USA's major features. Most of thefantastic scenery is, however quite remote so before you set out make sure you have supplies of all sorts in case of an emergency. These include food and water, fuel, necessary prescription drugs, a basic tool kit and of course some means of contact. Again, mainly because so many scenic areas are isolated, radio is far more likely to be useful than a cellular telephone; the next cellphone tower could well be a very long way away. So if you are considering an RV trip, consider getting a CB radio, particularly one which is equipped to receive severe weather reports, before you go.
