This has been my "Weekly Reader" since September 2005. We had sold our home and moved into our RV when I discovered your website. After 5 years of fulltiming we once again settled into a stick house, but I kept on reading. Now after 2 years, we are once again selling out and joining the fulltimers. Keep on publishing and keep us on the road!
Happy Anniversary Chuck. I look forward to your newsletter each week. Makes me realize it's Saturday! May the good Lord help you with the next 500 issues. Good Luck!!
Congrads Chuck, I too hope to read # 1000

Congrads Chuck, I too hope to read # 1000
happy anniversary on your 500th news letter!
The first thing I do each Saturday morning, after I make a cup of coffee, is to open my laptop and click on the RVtravel email. It comes before the daily local paper, Fox news, and ThePioneerWoman blog.
I have enjoyed reading your blog and have learned so much about rving from the many articles you have included. I have also enjoyed the many books and DVD's I've ordered from you.
I hope you will continue the newsletter and your blog for many more years. Keep up the good work!
Happy Anniversary!!

Pride cometh before the fall, but you will not fall and you have every right to be proud. I enjoy reading you insight early every Saturday morning. Congratulation

Way to go good buddy! An important milestone indeed! Congratulations on your 10th Anniversary! Many RVers are grateful as well! No matter where I go, at every seminar I present, there are many in attendance who are subscribers!
And though you are certainly not old, I would like to remind you...you are still a little older than me!
Congratulations!

Congrats! Keep 'em coming. I read the newsletter every Saturday morning on my Droid before I even get out of bed! I am 58, on my 2nd fifth wheel and spend 4 1/2 months a year in the fiver- RVing is the ONLY way to go - thanks for the 1st 500 and many more! Jane / Cincinnati

Congratulations and thanks. I've only been rving for 3 years and have learned a lot from reading your newsletter. Really appreciate it. Happy trails. Pauline Klein, Punta Gorda FL
For years, getting up on Saturday, walking the dogs, getting a cup of coffee then settling down to read the newsletter has been a favorite routine of mine. Thank you and here's to another 10 years.

Oh my - where have those years gone! Actually I (and everyone else of us knows). CONGRATULATIONS CHUCK. You did it right. You stuck it out. You followed true. You didn't quit the dream. You're right, that's not necessarily People Magazine stuff, but for the rest of us real People... you're an inspiration. Thanks for all of it. Here's to Issue 1,000! RW
I found your blog about six months before we went "full time." It has been fun,interesting and informative. I find myself quoting you to my husband as the authority
on RVing. We are now 2 months into full timing and I look forward to reading your blog with my Saturday morning coffee. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Have enjoyed this newsletter for awhile and have enjoyed each and every issue. Keep up the good work and go for that 1000 mark.
We are relatively new to the Rv life, 2 yr., but I always look forward to my Saturday morning news letter and following you on facebook. I just wish I could figure out how to get a dream job like yours, writing and traveling. Here's to the next 500.

Thanks for doing such a mighty fine job. I very much enjoy reading the newsletter every week, when I have Internet access. Hope you make it to issue 2K.
Congrats Chuck I look forward to your journeys and have learned lots about the American West some of which I have seen myself because you told us about it ! Keep up the great work you have the perfect retirement job !

Congratulations on 10 years and 500 issues! And a great article in the Herald.
Looking forward to many more issues of the newsletter...
Something to look forward to and enjoy every Saturday morning. Just a great way to keep in touch with what is happening in the RV world. Chuck's column always has something interesting, informative or heart warming.
We bought our first RV two years ago and now wonder why we waited so long. Een though I am a year older than Chuck I intend to be one of those waiting for issue 2,000!
Congratulations! I have enjoyed reading your newsletter over the last several years. Saturday mornings would just not be the same without it.
Happy Anniversary! I enjoy your newsletter - especially the surveys. Keep it up!
Chuck,Happy Anniversary, and Thanks for the weekly news letters enjoy them every Saturday. Read them all the way through, Thanks Again
Congratulations Chuck and many thanks! The newsletter is always a great source for information and enthusiasm about the RV lifestyle! - Jill, www.your-rv-lifestyle.com
Way to go, sticking with something this long is amazing in my book!

Congratulations. Quite a milestone! We are new to RVing so your newsletter has come at a good time. Best wishes for at least another decade of delightful travel and Ynewsletters that follow. Martha & Todd in Texas
Congrats. on your 10th year. Even though I do not own an RV I enjoy your site and look forward to reading your column every week.
Best wishes, Chuck, from a long time subscriber, Anita Shumway. I loved Out West, because it firmly installed a dream in me to travel for the rest of my life, if I could, one way or another. I'm storing the "Champion," in the Berkshire Mts. of western Massachusetts this winter and taking a four month Grand World Cruise around the world. Life is too short to be stuck in one place. I've never regretted selling all that "stuff," so I could hit the road. Congratulations on a terrific newsletter I look forward to reading every Sat. morning. Happy more traveling. Anita
Congratulations, Chuck on #500. I too, like many of your readers, look forward to firing up my computer or droid to read you latest edition. I'm the same age as you, and hope you get to write and I get to read at least another 1500 issues before you quit writing and I quit reading.
Wow, Chuck, look at all of these great comments written by folks like me who enjoy your newsletter! I'll bet it makes you feel good, huh? Well it should! I've been RV'ing since I decided to buy one after having two cancers, and saying to myself, 'It's time to have more fun!' Then I discovered your newsletter, and like so many others who have written, look forward to it every Saturday morning! It's an informative, enjoyable read. Thanks so much for your consistent work on it! Cathy from Salinas, California
I found your newsletter early in it's publication and have read it every week that it was written. We don't RV any more but still have lots of RV friends and share items with them and encourage them to subscribe. I passed out the 50 bookmarks you sent me in 2003 and many of those subscribed and pass good coments back to me. I'm looking forward to issue # 1000. Who knows, I may be an RVer again by then. Thanks for your efforts. Bob
Congratulations on 10 years and 500 issues!
I, like so many others, have learned most of what they know about travel trailers from your newsletter. I am about to purchase my first and start a new life as a full-timer. Thank you and God Bless You. Stay away from those telephone poles, and we'll all read issue 2000 together.
Congratulations Chuck! What a milestone to achieve for a wordsmith! I honestly can't remember when I started reading your newsletter but I do remember who sent it to me, my Canadian friend Truda. And I haven't missed an issue since. I believe it was 2001 or 2002. I really hope you do get to travel more. Just think, you will have so much more to write about! We have been fulltiming since 1998 and have never looked back. Thank you for my Sat. Morning "happiness" with my coffee!
Keep writing and we'll keep reading! Safe travesty.
Thanks, Chuck, you make Saturdays much more enjoyable. We are wanna be RVers, just waiting for the time to retire in a couple of years. We both enjoy reading about you, your travels, and the great information you share. Know that many of us out "here" are looking forward to the NEXT 500 issues!
Congratulations! Saturday morning
"must read" here (even tho between RVs). I can't break the habit! One missing piece of info in your essay today; what ever happened to "James"?
Happy Anniversary and many more. I read your newsletter every Saturday morning. It is what starts my day. Hope there is a no. 1000. Again, Happy Anniversary.
Congrats! Thank you for your efforts.
I try not to miss an issue of the magazine. And don't worry about getting old. This year (my 76th) I have been away from home for 9 weeks. 5 of those driving the Outback of Australia, and then 5 more on a solo 7,300 mile Blue Highway trip from my Florida home ( a real house) to Santa Barbara and up Pacific Coast on US 1 then to Chico and back across the country again avoiding all interstates. 180,000 miles on my 1998 Leisure Travel Van all driven by me--a widow for 13 years.
Keep going--perhaps I will wave to you on the road one day--
My theme song is Fats Domino's BEFORE I GET TO OLD. you can listen to it on Youtube.
Happy trails

Like most of the other comments, I too, sit at my computer on Saturday mornings sitting and reading my "newspaper" while my husband reads his. I am still working, but gathering information on what our options will be when I soon retire. I love reading it from "cover to cover" so to speak.
Thanks again for all you give us RVrs!
Paul & Beverly Cleaveland
Chuck ~ DITTO to all the other comments! I also look forward to opening your email every saturday reading and learning something new with each issue .. Through your articles, you've helped many RV'rs!
Kirk
Thank you so much for your dedication to share this info with all of us! I am grateful! I am so glad you love doing this job so we can benefit your work and your good attitude! Keep on the safe journey!

Congratulations on 500 issues of RV Travels. I've been with you since you started Out West and lived in Grass Valley, so watched your growth and enjoyed every moment. Keep it up buddy.
I went full-time after retiring and now have become a "Snow Bird." I look forward to each issue and read every word.
Here's to your next 10 years, and beyond!

My Saturday mornings have started with RV Travels, even before the morning paper since 2004. I cannot even remember how I found you. All I know is that it has helped us with RV'ing in our travel plans, buying equipment and extending our dreams. We are friends on FB and even had the pleasure of disagreeing with each other. I truly look upon you as a friend! One of these trips to Washington will include meeting you face to face. Somehow I have arrived in Washington to learn that you are on the road. Knowing the amount of effort you put into this wonderful publication, it is hard to ask for you to keep going forward but I am hopeful of that you will. CONGRATULATIONS ON TEN YEARS AND 500 ISSUES. WELL DONE! Thom Bell
We celebrate with you. We began RVing as our annual vacation many years ago. As the years pasted we moved from a truck camper to travel trailer then to a motohome when we retired. Your newsletter has been a great source of information and inspiration. We read it faithfully and tell all our RVing friends about it. You keep writing and we'll keep reading.
Richard & Marian Delfs
I enjoy your newsletter every Saturday morning. Congrats on your 500th issue. Hope to see many, many more.
Chuck, we have enjoyed reading and learning so much about RV the past couple years. We are campers since tent days and graduated up toward pop-up trailer and now TT which gives us challenges and learning experience. We love going more often and farther away from our house for period of time. Thank you, Chuck and to your staff, others to submit articles such as Doc, Jim, etc!
Happy Anniversary and we are looking forward to another 500 or more newsletters!!
S & J
I do know that the word I wanted is "too" not "to". Poor proofreader.
Before I get too old.
Congrats on ten years, Chuck. I have been a faithful reader for over five of those years and thoroughly enjoy each issue. I look forward to Gary and your live online shows again. Good luck and hope you continue for another ten years
Fred
Your newsletter was our "teacher" when we got started in RVing a couple of years ago.
I have gone back and read every newsletter on this site. And learned from others.
We are sure glad you stuck around.
The photo is a very good one of you.
Thanks again and HAPPY 10th.
Congratulations Chuck. May you have many many more!
I've been reading your newsletter for many years and do enjoy it. My wife and I have been RVing for many years (1972); we've been as far south as Panama and north in northern Canada. One thing we most enjoy finding in our travels are the many not well-advertised sites that exist (i.e., the Accidental Oil Co. in Wyoming where one can walk to the bottom of a functioning oil well). Is there anyone out there listing these type-sites? It would be so helpful being able to plan encounter rather than just stumbling upon them. Anyhow, best wishes and I hope you do publish for another 10 years!
Thanks Chuck for the many years of getting out this newsletter...I have been reading it for years and look forward to my Saturday morning Dr.Pepper and the RV Newsletter...Also the Live Feed hope you bring it back soon....TravelLady
I enjoy your newsletter and only wish it was East Coast based. I've gained a lot information over the years and look forward to it every week. Thanks, Wallace Twigg Mathews, VA
Have been enjoying your works and adventures the past few years, and hope to be reading it for years!!
Congratulations on 10 years of "living the life!!!
Happy Anniversary Chuck! Even though we no longer have our fifth wheel, we still travel some and plan on doing Route 66 when we get our '70 Cuda built! I think this is the best magazine/newsletter I've ever read! Looking forward to 1,000 more. Keep up the good work!

Congrats on #500 and I trust that you will continue until you lose your mind. The two RV activities I enjoy as I sit out each winter at my home and desk top 'puter need to, at least for my sake, keep up and running. One is Chuck's RV Newsletter and the other has apparently met with oblivion already, DesertDutch.org. I have spent a great deal of time over many years on both sites enjoying the news. Keep it up, Chuck and best wishes.
lardrodYour site has provided all sorts of incredibly valuable info as we began our RV adventure six years ago....knowing next to nothing about what we were doing we often rellied on material you presented for guidance.....the variety of topic addressed in each issue is truly amazing....'People' most certainly should feature you a second time and even more after that.....
happy b day. yours is one of things i look forward to each week. keep up the great work
Hi Chuck,
also in Hungary your newsletter is eagerly awaited...
Wish you all the Best, good ideas and good health for travelling and writing!
Franz from Hungary
I start every Saturday with a Pepsi (my caffeine delivery systerm of choice), reading the newsletter. That ususally takes a while because I always find a link or 2 to send to my husband and brother so they can know the latest. Thanks for the info and smiles that begin my weekend. Good stuff!
congratulations! I enjoy reading the newsletter while preparing for our RV dream. I hope you receive at least 500 best wishes, and keep up the great work,
Melanie

Congrats Chuck!!! Keep em coming!! We really enjoy reading your newletter they are very informational & we have learned alot over the years reading it. We were new @ rving from 2006 til now. Keep up the great work & we'll keep on reading & learning!!
Congrats on your milestone of 500 i am sure there have been others that have tried and failed so it iss a great to to celabrate for you.Hope you can do it and make the 1000 mark also, if you are having fun doing this ( and it appers you are) you should be able to do it in a flash. Good luck and many happy trails and words to come.
keep up the great work,thanks for everything.
Congrats on 500. I too will hope to be around for your 1000. When I first became an avid RVer in 2007 your site was the ONE most recommended to me by other RVers. I can honestly advise you that you have a LARGE following out here among the silent RV extended family. Be safe and be well.
Glad I found you about four years ago. We bought a new RV and were going to full time it for a year, that lasted about two months. Now the RV sits in storage 10 months of the year used mostly as a rolling motel for a month or so. But I still read the newsletter and enjoy it.
Happy anniversary,
It' a great way to learn my english, I'm an addick of this billet.. long life to it.

Hello Chuck:
Thanks so much for the effort and talent you put into RVtravel each week. We have been following you for several years now and really enjoy spending Saturday morning with you - as long as we are not traveling on that day.
As we enter our 14th year of full timing we look forward to many more years and hope to have you along for the ride.
Love and best wishes,
Roger and Anne Wilson
Ottawa, Canada
Congratulations Chuck! We started reading RVtravel in 05 when we were full-time wannabees. We had so many questions and you answered them all in your newsletter. Now we are livin the lifestyle and lovin it. Thank you! Hope you publish at least 500 more.

Congratulations! I've been reading your magazine for about two years now. Look forward to each new issue. Have learned almost everything I know about RVing from the magazine. Bought an RV last year, have been to Alaska, Jasper, Banff, Waterton, Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Jackson Hole last year, Land Between the Lakes early this summer, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Vegas, Salt Lake City and back to Yellowstone this summer, besides several trips to our Arkansas State Parks, all with a 16-ft travel trailer. What I've learned from your magazine was extremely useful while we were researching what we wanted to buy and on our road/camping trips since buying it. Thank you for your magazine!
