A “wearing” experience.
Mechanical problems while traveling are never fun, but with a Mercedes Sprinter chassis it can be a challenge to schedule service. Not all Mercedes dealers are set up to service Sprinters, which are much heavier and taller than passenger cars. Service appointments may not be readily available so determining where and when we will be…

How do we get Mail?
When we first started traveling for extended periods in 2022, we discovered that the USPS only allows a temporary mail-hold to be set for 30 days. Home mail delivery has to be reestablished for at least one day before a new mail-hold can be put in place. So during that first trip west in 2022,…

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
There are two types of RVs: RVs with something not working correctly, or RVs that will soon have something not working correctly. When we take our RV out of winter hibernation, we need to check all systems to ensure we won’t find ourselves miles from home without heat, hot water, air-conditioning or electricity. A few…

2025 Travel Stats
There is a lot to process when we are traveling. We’re on the road for extended periods of time and visit so many places that it’s difficult for us to recall all the details when we return home. That’s one of the reasons we started this journal. We want to hold on to our travel…

Going to a Pleasure-Way rally is incredibly fun because we get to spend time with hundreds of people who share the same love and method of travel and that we do. And speaking of sharing, warmest thanks to Mark Haskell, a Pleasure-Way owner,…

It was our first time … but may not be our last.
Believe it or not, after 5 years of RVing we finally stayed overnight at a Cracker Barrel. Several of our favorite RVing YouTube couples have elected to stay at Cracker Barrel and appeared unscathed by the experience. We have stayed at over 65 Harvest Hosts but never chosen to stay at a Cracker Barrel, Walmart…

The kindness of strangers….
Originally posted June 24, 2025 Updated June 29, 2025 Today is Tuesday, June 24, and we are still in Halifax when we had expected to be visiting Peggy’s Cove and staying in Graves Island Provincial Park. We had stopped by the grocery for some last-minute supplies late on Friday before checking into Shubie Campground in…

Improvements for the 2025 travel season
We have written an “improvements” post each spring since we started this blog in 2022. Here is another, a little more on the technical side. A concern that many people who do not own an RV ask is, how difficult is it to drive? Class B Vans such as our Ontour 2.2 was only 21′…
