Welcome Spring!
It’s springtime and a young (-ish) couple’s fancy turn to thoughts of travel. (Apologies to Lord Tennyson!) But prior to heading out, we first must address a few vehicle logistics. Each fall, we have to winterize our motorhome in order to prevent damage. It’s a process…. All the water needs to be drained from tanks…

One Small Step for Laundromats, One Giant Step for Laundromat Users
When was the last time you had to use a laundromat? Well, we’re here to tell you that it hasn’t changed much, if at all. When you spend more than a week in an RV, you realized that you can’t put off doing the laundry for very long. The longer you wait, the heavier the…

How we stopped smoking this year.
We stopped making campfires with wood on this trip. (Hope you were not thinking we meant the other kind of smoking 😉.) Everyone loves sitting around a campfire, especially us. There’s just something about watching the flames and feeling the warmth of the fire on a cool evening while enjoying an adult beverage that is…

We left Native Spirits Winery and reached Branson, MO, a day before the Connection Rally so we spent the night at another Harvest Host, Missouri Ridge Distillery, which was a few miles from our destination. We enjoyed good bourbon and a quiet night after a 5 hour drive from Norman, OK. The Rally was held…

I would gladly pay you Monday for an RV today…*
Timing is everything. We had just returned from the Hershey RV Show and Pleasure-Way Rally where we looked at “B+” RVs to address our desire for more space and storage. We were enamored with the new Pleasure-Way Plateau XLTS, and spent a lot of time reviewing the new features and chatting with Pleasure-Way Factory Representative,…

Needs, Wants and Budget.
If you read our post A Few More Improvements, you will know that being able to carry what we need is a major focus for us. We are traveling in an 80 square foot van with no outdoor storage. Short trips are easy to pack for. But on longer trips, we experience a lot of…

A few more improvements
Traveling comfortably for long periods in a Class B RV is a struggle between bringing along the items you want versus what you can actually carry, without filling the rig with so much stuff that there is limited room to move around inside the RV. The image above is from our trip to North Carolina…
