Communicating from the road - how to maintain your phone, email and Internet access.


Campgrounds with Instant Phone Hookups at the RV Site
Modem friendly might mean a fax line in the manager's office but here you will only find campgrounds with actual site hookups for phones.


Communications 101
phred Tinseth is well known to Escapees for his great technical articles (or "poop sheets" as phred likes to call them). This one is no exception - phred covers all the bases.


Internet Friendly RV Parks (Hot Phone Hookups)
Sterling Winfield maintains a page of parks with overnight (Hot or Instant) phone hookups - text only page with some good tips at the top and the list of parks at the end. Most recently updated on 4/11/99.


The AT&T One-Rate-Plan (Aug. 26 1998)
Good write-up by Mel Chaney that explains the in's & out's of this controversial plan.

Communications on the Road
Tom & Marilyn Clark discuss how they handled communications from the road.


DRIVERNet.com Email Kiosks
FREE E-Mail. FREE Access. NATIONWIDE.
"Receiving e-mail while on the road has never been easier or more convenient. Users can send and receive e-mail from every kiosk nationwide or even access their account from their home computers, via the Internet, on the DRIVER Net web site. Account holders can send and receive messages from others with an e-mail address, even if it's not a DRIVER Net account."


Full-Timer Long Distance
Looking to get a better rate for your calls while at home or on the road? Full-timers Adam & Leigh Brodwolf list some of the best telecommunication plans & prices that I have seen anywhere (I am a RoadTel user myself!) They plan to continue adding options, so you'll want to check back often.

A constantly expanding list by Cruising America broken into categories by Eastern US, Western US and Canada and then into sub-categories by state or province. Mexico will be coming soon.


Modem Friendly Parks
Sam & Alice have undertaken a daunting task - the maintenance of US-wide list of modem friendly parks. All sites are either personally checked by them or by the person who recommended the park.
