For wannabes

As we posted earlier, our RV was broken in to and our tv's were stolen. Significant damage was done to the rv trying to get the tv's out. The claims adjuster said it has been an epidemic in the St. Louis area. Many storage facilities and dealerships have been hit. He strongly suggests taking any fla...

Gypsy Journal Rally
(Preview)
Hey folks, been a long time since I posted (I do lurk from time to time). We are headed to the Gypsy Journal Rally in Elkhart. We'll arrive on Thursday or Friday.

Three months and one day after taking our fifthwheel to the dealer for them to check it over for repairs, Len called them today and they said it will be ready tomorrow. When we took it there on May 24 they said about 3 weeks to get parts in and less than two weeks to do repairs. Yea, right. Thankfully w...

Camping Safety.....Again
(Preview)
Please bear with me on this one. It touches home because two fellow Okies were victims and because Jo and I work for a law enforcement agency in Oklahoma. With the good news today of the arrest of the Arizona prison escapees, I can now rest a little easier and worry less for those friends on these forums t...

Motorhome or 5'er
(Preview)
O.K. not really a question but rather my anxiety over which one to choose. I already have the truck and of course a 5th wheel would be cheaper but....I just really like the idea of a motorhome. Now I'm leaning towards selling the truck (taking a hit $$$) and using that money towards the moho. UGH! I ho...

Trip
(Preview)
G'Ma and I are planning a trip to the Texas hill country over the holiday weekend. Planning on staying on Lake LBJ. As hot as it has been here, I may spend the whole time in the lake (hard to sleep in water). Anyone else going anywhere for the weekend?

Needing some perspective

We are taking our RV out next weekend and went to our storage area to drop off some stuff. We found that our RV had been broken in to and both TV's stolen. And of course they tore the cabinetry all up getting the TV's out. I know all this can and will be fixed and that in the scheme of things this is just a pimp...

Getting cash on the road

We've been planning our finances on the road since like a lot of you our income is limited and are wondering if there has been a discussion of how to get cash while you are on the road and not near your own personal bank. I know ATMs but I'm trying to figure out how to do it without fees. If there has been a di...

Last night I received a pm from some one who would not sign it or let me know who they were, telling me I needed to buy a dictionary because of bad spelling and poor grammar.

Waiting
(Preview)
Ok no one told me that waiting was going to be the hardest thing to do when it came to fulltiming. The only way for me to calm down was to resign myself to the fact we are probally going to have to spend another winter in Illinois, and that makes me shiver already. Our house has been on the market only 3 months a...

We are traveling with no schedule. Example, today we setup for a couple of days and then looked at the map to determine where we go next. Then we consulted WOODALL'S and RVPARKREVIEWS.com to find a park. Of course all parks are not in either. What do those on the list use to find a park when you have not been...

We took our fifth wheel over to a feed store in a nearby town to get the truck and camper weighed so that we would have an idea of how much we could get into the camper. After weighing total weight of both vehicles and then backing off axle by axle to get a good idea of weights, we started to leave town. As we we...
