Well it's been January since I've posted. Me and my boyfriend were first looking at a Trilogy then got introduced to a DRV and fell in love. Well I didn't get a DRV (YET!) but I did get something and I did get a truck. The DRV will come maybe in 2 years, we've decided to save up the majority of it and then maybe t...

Got back Tuesday from my trip to Mesquite, NV for a BBQ contest. Part of the trip put me on I-70 from roughly Green River, UT to I-15 to Mesquite. The fuel prices in Utah and the little part of Nevada that I saw were running $4.06 cash and $4.15 credit or debit. Since I don't carry $1,000.00 around in my pocke...

Just looked up what the minimum for me, who never gets sick, takes no prescription drugs, and no pre-existing conditions would have to pay.... A minimum of $300 a month for catastrophic care only! That is not affordable. If I can get a credit, maybe $200 a month. Good thing I set my rig up for off grid, I ma...

So, I think we sold the last boat we built, BrooksBoatworks . It was a 12 hr drive from eastern NC to Stuart Fl, none stop with 2 drivers, clean and prep the boat for a seatrial (perpective owners with a backgound check completed). They loved the boat, left a deposit, and we trailered the boat home.......

Some have been talking about going to RV shows and I was wondering how many of you have seen "The Long, Long Trailer" with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez? If you haven't seen it, you really should.

Let me start by saying how thankful I am of this forum and community as a few more out there. I spent 2 years learning everything I could about the rv lifestyle before we took it on. Probably one of the biggest lessons learned was the fact of how little we really knew before we started our quest. So lets sta...

I spent the long weekend moving stuff from the house to the RV. This morning hubby took it to the dealer for some warranty repairs.

We have been traveling for the last 8 months and our average length of stay in one spot is 6 days. Our longest has been 16 but we normally move every week.

We are thinking of Howard and Linda as they go through some trying times. Praying for Howard to get well quickly and be able to hit the road again. And for Linda, because health issues are always ...just plain scary. You guys are like family, and just remember, we are with you.
