Monitor Calibration
Let’s talk little bit about importance of monitor calibration. The simply way to describe is that your image that is displayed on your monitor needs to match the print-out from the printer. If your monitor is not properly calibrated your printed pictures will have different color tone. Be aware that your environment starting with your room lighting, the color of your walls and even your clothing can influence the monitor calibration.

Learning about RV’s and the RV lifestyle… I am not sure if I ever going to become fulltimer but I found some great resources on frugal RV lifestyle. I can only say that I wish I can just pack up and leave. I fully admire you guys and lets see how long it’s going to take for me to do this. Again, there is lot to learn and if you look right at the side bar I posted some RV links I found very useful.
Winnebago Era 170XL
So finally after few months of looking around to all of different kinds of RV’s I have made up my mind to buy Winnebago Era. After long-long research looks like Class B will fit all my needs. One of my biggest concerns was not to go over 30 feet because of the state park rules. My Era 170 XL is 24 feet long and includes full queen size bed which is very important to me since I am 6’3. For you not familiar with this model Winnebago Era is based on Mercedes/Dodge Sprinter chassis with Mercedes 3.0 L Turbo Diesel engine that offers car like driving experience and great gas milage. Folks at the shop are prepping it for me and I am suppose to get her in next few days.
Some stock photos:
..more photos in few days when I get it here
To go with Era was my personal choice and decision so I am not going to debate which RV is better or worst. I am sure there are many other models on the market and one can argue on functionality and usability. For me Era is more than I need. I am just a guy who likes to travel and love photography so RV is my tool to get me there and let me sleep in my own bed. This blog is intended to be travel – photo blog. I will however provide some RV links that I found helpful along the way.

Travel, Travel, Travel !!
I always liked to travel but I never had a time for it. Too much work and not enough play. I recently decided to change the way I live life or lets’s say just approaching it from a different angle. I been reading other people RV Travel and Photo blogs for too long and now is a time for me to experience it first hand.
