Any former manufactured home dwellers out there?
(Preview)

Discussing with my wife how lucky we are, as we look around our town at all the people who have given up on life, over weight, out of shape, seldom if ever venturing out of the town they grew up in.

Remodeling an RV

Not sure if this should go under RV Furniture but actually pertains to everything inside, not just the pretty stuff. How many folks here have bought an older RV and replaced the inside stuff because of wear & tear, previous owners abuse or just because it's outdated??? I'm thinking that as long as...

The Key Solution
(Preview)
For the past couple of years as a work camper, I’ve seen visitors in day use parks or campgrounds either lock themselves out of their vehicle or lose their keys. I recently assisted someone who lost their keys while hiking and had to get a relative to drive 85 miles to bring a spare set. To add to their trou...

The house is listed, and a for sale sign has found itself a new home next to my mail box. I am sad, and excited at the same time after 24 years in it. It's kind of like fishing, now we get to wait and see if we get any bites. Wish us luck. I will work on the motorhome tomorrow to remind myself why I am doing this...

Low Bridges
(Preview)
I have recently had a few close calls with low bridges that could easily have resulted in a bad accident. Does anyone know of a good GPS system or add on for my Garmin that would give a low bridge warning? Something like a speed camera POI list could work, but I can't seem to find anything. Many thanks.
