I’m back with more questions from blog readers about RVing, what’s happening in our lives since we hung up the keys, and all kinds of other things. While I try to answer all questions individually, I also share some here occasionally. Q. I have three 12-volt batteries in my motorhome to power the things inside […]

Most of yesterday was spent getting the initial 5,000 mile oil change and check-up on our Pacifica, then running some errands in Daytona Beach, and stopping for dinner at Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet, the best Chinese buffet we have found in the area. So rather than bore you with the details of all of […]

A heat wave has been baking the upper Midwest, with temperatures here in northern Indiana in the 90s.

It’s a good thing I got so much writing done on my new Big Lake book the last few days, because yesterday I was pretty much worthless. A lifetime ago I got a serious case of heat stroke when I was overseas, to the point that I had to be airlifted out of the field […]

How much is comfort worth to you? How about your health? How much are you willing to suffer to save $50? Over the last two days, I’ve had an exchange of e-mails with a couple who wrote to ask me for tips on staying comfortable in an RV in Arizona’s hot weather. They told me […]
