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. We went to the Tampa RV show and I was surprised that in […]
Definition of potpourri – 1: a mixture of flowers, herbs, and spices that is usually kept in a jar and used for scent. 2: a miscellaneous collection. The second definition above pretty much describes today’s blog. This is another post in a collection of miscellaneous thoughts and info that I’m sharing because I really don’t […]
You asked for them and you’ve got them! Here are twelve more RV tips learned in nearly two decades of fulltime RV travel or suggested by our readers. In my last blog about RV tips, I mentioned how important it was to know the actual height of your rig. Not just what the specs in […]
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.

All night Saturday the wind rocked our motorhome, and our slide topper awnings flapped like they were going to tear themselves apart.

A few months ago I didn’t even know what a podcast was, and now we’re the topic of one! How cool is that? For those of you who don’t know what a podcast is, basically it’s a digital media file that you can view or listen to online, or download from the internet. Kind of […]
RVs and wintertime do not mix well. Trust me, I know.
