On January 28th, we lost the best dog ever. Riley was a 15 year old Norwegian Elkhound, and spent all 15 of those years being the sweetest, most friendly dog we’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. He just loved everybody!! It’s never easy to lose a fur baby, and even worse when you’re on…

Gulf Shores Diaries: Where Winter Comes To Die
Ah, Gulf Shores, Alabama—the land where winter is nothing but a vague rumor told by northerners in heavy parkas. For full-time RV travelers like us, it’s the ultimate winter escape. While our friends up north are shoveling snow and wondering why they still live there, we’re here basking in the sun and trying to figure…
Fort Myers 2021 Day 1
Review of Barnyard RV Park near Columbia, SC.
Disaster!!!
Well kinda. We were heading out for niece Sara’s wedding back in Chicago. Only an hour or so gone, still in Tennessee. The Alt Fail light came on, and the dash started going ding ding ding… ding ding ding… This happens sometimes on a sunny day since I put the solar on, I ignored it….
Back to the Smokies
Somehow, this place keeps calling to us. We enjoyed the West, the awesome scenery, the endless desert views, all that. A great place to spend the winter. But come spring, the Smoky Mountains is where it’s at for us. We’ve been here for about 5 weeks now. We spent a month at the KOA in…
Chicken Linguine In Cream Sauce
I love to cook! There’s nothing like putting together a great meal that my family enjoys. However, I have a real love/hate relationship with my kitchen in my motorhome. It’s tiny – teeny tiny, itty bitty. Like, ZERO counter space tiny. I have no oven. I only have the microwave/convection oven and a 3-burner propane…
Flying the Flag!
This post contains affiliate links from Amazon.com Of course every RV needs to fly the flag, and ours won’t be an exception. I looked at a lot of different flagpoles and brackets on Amazon. I also studied them in use in campgrounds, and also at Chicagoland Speedway, where we’ve been season ticket holders and infield…
Power from the Sun!
We (RVers) all dream of unlimited power. Power to boondock anywhere, to live far from the nearest extension cord. Our motorhome came with 4 golf cart batteries and a 2000 watt inverter that can run nearly everything, for a while. To charge those batteries, we can use our generator, but wouldn’t it be nice not…
Tech Tuesday, Bedroom Storage!
As we were getting ready to go full time, we took a long hard look at our inside storage. We had lots of raw room, we just needed to configure it to work for us. The first thing was files. Try as we did to eliminate paper, we still had some. We needed someplace where…
