Mountain Driving... Part 2
(Preview)

You can even put them on at any speed, don't get PUSHED from behind. I believe it is a law in most States to use your 4-ways. Safe travels. The old post is closed, s...

"It's Not Vacation, It's Life" ???

An often repeated theme I've read is, "It's not vacation, it's life". The warning seems to be that full time RV'ing can't be one big vacation. I agree with this theory on many levels, BUT that is not how life has turned out for us during the last three years. Life seems to be one big vacation. Maybe we a...
