Whether you drive a big motorhome or a compact car, everybody is talking about fuel prices these days so I thought I would dust off a blog I published a while back with ideas to help lessen the impact to some extent. All men are not created equal, nor are all fuel prices. RVers have […]
It seems like some days fuel prices are climbing even faster than the mercury in an Arizona thermometer in July. RVers only have two choices, pay it or park it. Most have no intention of getting off the road, but with a little effort and planning, hopefully, we can lessen the impact of today’s outrageous […]
Back when we were doing the bus conversion thing, we knew several bus nuts who took their coaches to Mexico to have them painted. We never considered it, because even at bargain Mexican prices, we just didn’t feel comfortable taking our MCI into Mexico. Yes, I know that a lot of RVers, even some of […]
After reading yesterday’s blog, RVing’s Top 10, my friend Connie Bradish suggested maybe we needed a Bottom 10 list, and suggested, in no particular order: 1. A major dumping event, like the hose comes off and it’s all over. 2. A tire blowout, especially if it’s the right front tire. 3. Being sunk up to […]

Is there any greater treasure than the people you love in this life, and those who love you? Yesterday Terry and I spent the day visiting with two very special people, who have helped enrich our lives in so many ways that I could not begin to count them all. We met Tim and Ann […]
With only 33,000 miles on it, our 2002 Winnebago diesel pusher is like new in many ways. The previous owner kept in inside a heated barn most of the time, and only used it for vacations and short trips with the grandkids. Miss Terry and the other ladies who have seen it all agreed that […]
In yesterday’s blog, a reader named Chris asked if we had it to do over, would we still buy a bus. In hindsight, yes, we would. I also got an e-mail from a fellow asking how much it cost to keep a bus running. I’ll try to give you an overview. Our bus has been […]
Terry and I spent the weekend sealing all of the air leaks around our twin radiators and the door leading to our radiator air blowers. Like many old MCI buses, ours tends to run hot, even after we rebuilt the squirrel cage fans that draw air in through the radiators. While we were at a […]
