<strong>Snowbirds</strong><strong>RV</strong><strong>Travelers</strong><br />
Reader Leo Gebert was inspired by <strong>Snowbirds</strong> & <strong>RV</strong> <strong>Travelers</strong> to drive to Arizona via Moab and<br />
Monument Valley, Utah. Pictured is the Landscaping Arch in Arches National Park.<br />
The end of winter is in our sights and we hope<br />
you’ve had some grand adventures over the<br />
colder months. If you’ve been hibernating<br />
a little (I will guiltily raise my hand to join<br />
you) then spring is a perfect time to rejoin the<br />
world of <strong>RV</strong>ing. With the days getting longer<br />
and the temperatures getting warmer, spring<br />
is the ideal season to get out and make some<br />
new connections. <strong>RV</strong>ing is a great way to build<br />
your community, whether it is joining a new<br />
club, attending an <strong>RV</strong> event, visiting a new<br />
campground or searching on social media;<br />
<strong>RV</strong>ing can bring people together.<br />
In this issue of <strong>Snowbirds</strong> and <strong>RV</strong> <strong>Travelers</strong>,<br />
you can read how our publisher and editorin-chief<br />
viewed some exciting new <strong>RV</strong>’s at<br />
the <strong>RV</strong>IA (Recreational Vehicle Industry<br />
Association) Show in Louisville, Kentucky.<br />
At the show, the top <strong>RV</strong> manufacturers<br />
gathered to show <strong>RV</strong> dealers their new models<br />
and product lines - finally unveiling the<br />
innovative features and design trends that will<br />
shape your <strong>RV</strong> purchase decisions in <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
If you need a little motivation to get ready<br />
for the season we have a Product Showcase full<br />
of ideas, Travel Tips on Booking Now for Spring<br />
<strong>RV</strong>ing and an article on how to Get Your <strong>RV</strong><br />
Water System Ready For Spring.<br />
If you’re looking for some new destinations,<br />
why not try touring in Prince Edward<br />
County (page 16), riding the train in Vancouver<br />
(page 34), biking in Napa Valley (page<br />
46) or <strong>RV</strong>ing in Arizona (page 52)?<br />
Another great way to make a connection<br />
is to sit outside and talk to your neighbours.<br />
Create a new outdoor space using our How<br />
to Install a Patio Room instructions. If you<br />
invite a new friend to help you with the<br />
setup, you will definitely kill two birds with<br />
one stone.<br />
We’d love to hear about your spring<br />
travels or your new connections.<br />
