RV Life on Wheels

Red Rover, Red Rover, Come Over
RV Life On Wheels   Not being life long campers or RVers, we knew that there was much that we didn't know about these vehicles and how to live this RV lifestyle.  We knew that we needed a lot of information and education before we could even purchase an RV, let along take off on the road full time!  But, where do you get such information?  We're not certain how we became aware of RV Life on Wheels.  But it was just what we needed in order to help round out our research and give us invaluable information on a whole range of RV-related subjects.

LOW is an education extension program sponsored by the University of Idaho. It offers current and prospective RVers the opportunity to learn the most up-to-date information about RVs and the RV lifestyle so they can enjoy, more fully, this exciting means of recreation and travel.  In addition to being offered in Moscow, Idaho, this seminar series is taken on the road each year to Tucson, AZ, Des Moines, IA, Bowling Green, KY and Bethlehem, PA.  Two and a half days of seminars, taught by industry experts, experienced full time and extended time RVers and RV travel writers...just what we needed to get started!
Gaylord Maxwell   Life on Wheels is the "dream come true" of Gaylord Maxwell.  A former teacher, he is also a long-time RV travel writer and lecturer. Motorhome, Trailer Life, Highways, and RV Business are magazines that have published articles by Gaylord every month for more than 30 years.  In addition to writing for magazines, Gaylord has also published a number of books on RVing and was inducted into the RV Heritage Foundation Hall of Fame in 1997.  He is just one of the many wonderful people we have met at LOW.  Even after having taken many of the courses, we want to go back each year because we love the people and the environment.

Unfortunately, Gaylord passed away in 2008 and without his guidance to carry on, the RV Life on Wheels came to an end.  We can only hope that a replacement program will arise under someone else.  The need for such a program has been proven.
