RVtravel.com

This website was established in 1999, originating from a travel newspaper called Out West: The Newspaper That Roams, created by Chuck Woodbury in the 1990s while he traveled around the American West in his motorhome. His personal reflections, shared in a quarterly tabloid format, eventually earned him recognition as one of the early "bloggers" in America. Out West stood out during its era and garnered significant media coverage. Both the newspaper and Woodbury were featured on prominent platforms such as ABC World News Tonight, CNN, NBC’s Today Show, NPR, and in a wide array of publications including the Washington Post, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, and People Magazine. For six years, Woodbury's travel articles were also syndicated to major newspapers worldwide through the New York Times Syndicate.
