You may remember a past blog we wrote about Rand McNally's most exciting product for RVers - a specialized GPS specially designed for RV adventures. Creatively titled The TripMaker® RVND™ 7710. This handy 7" GPS allows you to choose the type of vehicle you will be using for your route. Such as a car, motor home, or trailer. You can also enter in seasonal checklists, information on your favorite places to eat and camp, locations of rest areas, and of course your favorite dealer. (Ahem...RV Country) But that's not all! Compacted in this small hand held unit of information is over 14 million points of interest – including Festivals, National/State/Regional Parks, RV campgrounds, RV dealers, service locations, parking and rest areas, travel centers with detailed amenities, detailed exit information on interstate exits, pet friendly locations, animal hospitals, hikes, stops, beaches, and more! The GPS does come with a wall charger and a vehicle charger, USB cable, and RVND™ Dock software installed and included on the device.
Those old paper maps are sounding more and more outdated aren't they? That basic GPS you have is starting to sound like it just isn't going to cut it anymore, isn't it? This TripMaker, this wonderful GPS equipped with all the RV related information you could ask for is right at your finger tips! All you have to do is come on over to Paul Everts RV Country to get it! If you'd like to take this snazzy TripMaker out for a little demo, then by all means, come right in and visit us!

Looking for a new dip to bring to the group gathering, but a lack of ideas is leaving you feeling a bit crabby? take that feeling and run with it with this recipe from the RV Centennial Cookbook authored by Evada Cooper.
“This recipe is for hot artichoke crabmeat dip. It was submitted by Virginia Praesel of Rockdale, Texas, who said when her children were young, she did lots of cooking when the family went camping. Now grown, her children take their own children RVing, and most have RVs of their own.”
Ingredients:
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 can (14 oz.) artichoke hearts in water, drained and chopped
1 package (8 oz.) imitation crabmeat, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup (3 oz.) grated fresh parmesan cheese
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions with tops
Zest of 1 lemon (1 teaspoon)
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mix well. Press garlic into mixture. Drain artichokes; chop and mix with crabmeat. Combine parmesan cheese, green onions, and lemon zest. Mix all ingredients together and add to cream cheese mixture. Spoon mixture into a 1½ qt. baking dish. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Sprinkle with red bell pepper and additional green onions.
