Winter Camping in your RV
Summer time camping is great fun but camping in the winter season is sublime. It is a great time to go camping, if you want to reconnect with your pioneering spirit. Winter camping in a recreational vehicle (RV) is similar to those early camping days when you had only a Coleman stove and a sleeping Read More >>
Big dog or Little dog – Which is best suited to live in an RV?
Ralf loves riding in the RV but isn’t an enthusiastic out-of-doors pup. His fur seems to attract every weed seed in the area, which means brushing. Another activity he isn’t fond of. Dani love the outdoors but can do without the drive. Traveling upsets her tummy and seems to mess with her digestive system. Ralf Read More >>
Thanksgiving and RVing can work
I remember our first Thanksgiving as full-time RVers. It was a little exciting and very scary. We were camped in Salt Springs campground in the Ocala National Forest (FL), surrounded by hoards of families. It became apparent, these families knew what they were doing.

Backing up an RV
Fred and I have been doing this RV-lifestyle for a long while. There is a lot to love about it but, to be honest, there are a few things we are still working on. One major issue is our communication when backing up the rig. One major component to this backing up thing is trust Read More >>

Is my MH a Black Hole for things?
Every year I debate my hair-style for the upcoming season. I like a shoulder-length pageboy style but a really short cut means less water needed to wash it and drying is faster. However, if I don’t cut it, I’ll be able to pull-it back into a ponytail or braid. But than there is the problem Read More >>
Apple and Cranberry Crisp
In my opinion, one of the trademarks of the RV lifestyle is innovation. Those innovations can range from repairing a broken screen door latch to a recipe using a little of this and a little of that. This recipe comes from the later. Tucked way in the fridge was some jelly cranberry sauce, while in Read More >>
