Living Green in An RV

Yesterday, I received a comment from a reader on my post about tiny houses.  She jokingly asked if I considered the RV she lives in to be a "tiny house." Of course I do, and green too!  RV vacations have a softer environmental impact than the typical airline/rental car/hotel vacation.

I'm equally fascinated with RVs.  I love the idea of being able to bring your home virtually anywhere.

Though I've not yet tried RV life, I would love to and actually considered renting one in August for a short family road trip to see some nature.  Until I remembered that I live in TEXAS and it's 105 degrees today.  We'd have to drive a LONG way to make it an enjoyable venture at this time of year.  So we'll do it in the Fall.

Here are some interesting links about green RV living and camping.  Please leave a comment and share your favorite links!

The Green RV - an old article from NYTimes.com about a couple and their child who took up residence in an RV fueled by used vegetable oil.  Very interesting!  You can also find a link to their current blog on my webpage.  It's called Happy Janssens: Modern Nomadic Living.

I am fascinated by tiny houses.  Off grid, low impact, little homes that are attractive, ergonomic and meet all essential needs.

Here are my favorite sites for exploring these little beauties.  So much fun - I could spend a whole day looking at them.
