Sick of Bad Camping? Find the Best Campsites with AllStays

The search to find the best campsites is always a source of great frustration for the RVer. But by using an online tool called AllStays, that quest can be greatly simplified.

We've used the tool for over a decade now and it just gets easier and easier. So when we heard that the founder retired and there's a new CEO, we thought it would be good to get him on the podcast to update us on how this easy-to-use resource can be put to good use. Our conversation with Allstays CEO Phil Rogers is our Interview of the Week with this episode.

Also this week:

* Social Media Buzz talks about finding the best toilet paper for RVers.

* The RV Tip of the Week uncovers the defects most RVers miss when taking possession of a new rig.

* The App of the Week shares a digital journal aimed at photographers that is perfect for RVers who take lots of photos on camping trips.

* The RV News of the Week shares the National Parks that visitors are most pleased by.

* The RV Question of the Week reveals just how much it can cost to develop an RV property.

Social Media Buzz - The best TP for RVing, bad roads reports, and a DIY shoe rack for the RV

Wendy Bowyer, who helps moderate our 171,000-member RV Lifestyle Facebook Group shares the hot topics this week:

A first time RV owner asked What RV toilet paper is best to use?

Alex and many others said any septic-safe toilet paper

* Loraine said a good number of folks said any 1-ply brand

* Jessica and a good number said to put the toilet paper in a diaper genie, like that used for baby diapers, and never put it down the toilet.

* and then Timothy - and many others said that was completely disgusting...

And so it went for 420 comments!

The Major Take Away: There are options to the expensive RV toilet paper and remember, whatever you choose, use lots of water.

James and his wife are taking that classic RVer RV dream trip down Route 66. James is traveling from California to Texas and asked: What should we stop to see? 

So many good suggestions!

* Rhonda recommended the ice cave in NM.

* Theresa mentioned donkeys roaming the streets of a ghost town in Oatman, AZ. 

* Jacques recommended  Earl’s Diner in Gallup, New Mexico. The Native Americans set up booths outside and sell their dolls, jewelry, etc, there. Food is good.

There were also some cautions: 

Philip said do not try to drive the RV on the road between Oatman and Kingman because it is very narrow and has multiple switchbacks.

There were so many tips - they made me want to go!!!

The final item I'd like to share is a tip from Jason about what to do with shoes.
