There had been no warnings anywhere That we could see in advance and our Truckers/Garmin's war...

Lucky but not. Today Diane was out walking Jack and all of a sudden a fire truck and a couple cop cars went scooting though the park. Of course because Diane and Jack were out I decided to head out myself and make sure they were ok. And they were. However what wasn’t ok is a RV that obviously had an issue with...

For now, we are weekending it whenever we can. So we add contents to our holding tanks for two or three days. That is not long enough for the black tank contents to break down. At the end of the trip we dump all the tanks. Black first, then the two grays. I can't imagine that the chunks in the black are floatin...

Wow, I can't believe how much "stuff" we just donated or threw away from our basement in the 5th wheel. Amazing how many things we brought along just in case, or thought we would eventually use. Wrong!! We moved into our 5th wheel on our driveway just over a year ago and have been living in i...

It has been just shy of 19 months ago that we lifted our jacks and hit the road and we are a week away from coming full circle. We will be back in southern Oregon where we left from to visit family and friends. It will be interesting to see the changes and it's strange that it almost seems like last week tha...

We found a COE campground with 50 Amp service to spend Memorial Day Weekend. We loaded up Thursday evening. Of course there were a few things we forgot but, we knew that would be the case. Only one item was a show stopper that caused a trip to Walmart, sheets. Don't send me to the store for sheets, 400 threa...

We were in an RV Shop recently and talked to one of the techs about Jesse's longing for a bigger louder horn on our truck. The tech mentioned that he had a huge Motorhome come in that had a train horn on it. He pulled it into a service bay and a bunch of techs were on their coffee break. He blew the horn and coffe...

We, including me, complain a lot. This post is just to be upbeat. DW and I just returned from a 2 week trip from SW Florida to Mid-Missouri and back. We missed all the bad weather. We traveled a mix of Interstates and back roads. The spring weather was wonderful, warmer than normal. We saw SO MANY wild...

Been reading and looking at videos about composting and incinerating toilets. Has anyone had experience with either of these set-ups, or specific knowledge as it pertains to their installation, cost, ease of use, and in the case of the incinerator, energy consumption? I sorta like the idea of elim...

I feel so bad for the couple involved in this and my sympathies go out to the officers family. I have seen this time and again. They put the constructions signs way to close to the construction, so that traffic is already upon it or the back-up before they realize it is there or they have signs out for da...

Sue and I have been waiting to see one of the new Keystone Montana's floor plans, the 3610RL and finally found one at a dealer in PA. Well we drove about 2 hours to see what it looked liked. As soon as we stepped inside we knew this was one sweet coach. Keystone has really done a great job with both the layout...

So tonight as we're both packing, preparing to leave the house on wheels that we moved into a year and 3 days ago, I am so HAPPY that this packing nonsense is an occasional thing.

Hello, here is my situation: I am a pilot that lives in Chicago. At some point I will be based out of some other city and will need a place to stay for about 8-15 nights a month. Pilots often use a "crash pad" for temporary housing when they live out of city. This is an apartment shared by 10-20 guy...

Everything happened so fast it's a blur. We sold our 2008 Monaco Diplomat and our toad, a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. We've been wanting to downsize and go part time with shorter trips.
