The Voltage is a Toyhauler Fifth Wheel. Some will be better for you than others but there’s guaranteed to be one that fits your needs.So I have gone through and picked out my top 6 RVs for different applications and budgets. We quickly realized there are many different classifications, sizes and types of RVs. Having an RV opened our eyes to a whole new world for sure. If we got tired while driving, we would just pull over in a parking lot and sleep and we could always camp close to where we were hunting. What a game changer! We never went into gas stations for bathroom breaks, we slept in our own bed, never had to unload gear, no check out times, we had a freezer full of turkey meat and fish. It was a 2018 East to West travel trailer from Camping World. We wound up settling on our very first RV. I woke up with a golf ball sized bug bite on my arm. I was once on a duck hunt in rural Nebraska where we stayed in a hotel. Issues included: finding hotels remotely close to where we were hunting, public/gas station restrooms being closed, unloading all of our gear just to reload it, finding pet friendly hotels, check out times, and of course, bed bugs. In the spring of 2020, a little thing called Covid-19 had just popped up and caused a few issues with travel and accommodations. Hotels were an option in some places but not convenient at all.

That was pretty cool until the ratchet strap popped and I was awaken by slamming to the earth at 2 a.m. ![]() ![]() Heck, I once took a hammock to Olcmugee WMA for a quota hunt. I thought I was a genius when I took an air mattress for the bed of my truck…until it rained and mosquitoes toted me off. I’d just roll the windows down, stick my feet out and sleep in the truck. There was no hotel close by and I couldn’t afford that anyway. at Abbot’s Food Center where I would stock up on Gatorade, Christmas tree cakes and two big cans of ravioli and of course a bag of fried chicken. I remember when I was 16 I would drive my 1996 Toyota Pickup two hours from home to hunt at Chickasawhatchee WMA in the swamps of South Georgia. There’s always that one part of the planning: “where am I going to sleep?” We always want to spend as much time in the woods or on the water when on these trips. As hunters or fishermen our pursuits often take us on adventures away from home if even for just a weekend.
