Scrapbooking - not going digital
(Preview)
I've been scrapbooking for 15+ years now and it's my creative outlet. I really had resigned myself to digital scrapbooking for FT RV'ing, but am having lots of second thoughts on that. I will continue to work full time and since I work on the computer all day, really could not bring myself to transfer m...

What are you reading?
(Preview)
We seldom go anywhere without our Kindles. My question is this. What do you read while you're gone? My tastes are rather broad. I enjoy Christian fiction, John Grishom, both Jonathan and Faye Kellerman, and Patricia Cornwell. In the Christian Fiction, I loved the Baxter series by Karen Kingsb...

RV'er ministering
(Preview)
Establishing the ministry God has place a burden upon me. The Lord has given me a call from the age of 15 to minister the gospel. Recently, the burden through outreach has inspired me to reach souls in the RV ministry. Praying for revival. I have learned that RVing has some personal benefits too.

Hiking ettiquette - is it dead??

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed how lacking in trail manners people are these days. Is it just me? We're in the Zion area right now and I've never seen such a lack of consideration for other hikers, not paying attention if someone is coming up faster and might want to pass, uphill / downhill p...

We decided to get an inflatable Kayak to be used on flat water, easy rivers and light fishing. Does anyone have a recommendation for a life vest? Under $80 would be our budget.

Storing and organizing fabric

Hey all you sewists! I am trying to get ready to go full timing and want to take my sewing with me. I do mostly doll clothes and a few kitchen type items, but I haven't figured out how to store fabric. Of course I know I can't take my whole stash, but would like to be able to take a good selection of fabrics. I kno...

We are voracious readers (and haven't begun fulltiming yet, but will be within a couple months). I now use my public library. I don't purchase books very often as I read so much. Any suggestions for on-the-road access to books? Thanks, Karen

Jigsaw Addicts Best Tricks To Transport On Moving Days
(Preview)
One of the things I love to do when it's a little too miserable to spend a lot of time outside, or in the evenings, not being very much into TV is Jigsaws, typically minimum 1000 pieces and up. Once you've sorted out your pieces the last thing you want to do is have to sort them all out again and again and agai...

My vision is to build a modular set-up that could be broken down for storage (if available in an RV or perhaps a toy hauler, though w...

Inflatable Kayaks - Aquatic Invasive Species inspections

We had been thinking about doing a little kayaking in our Sea Eagle this weekend on the Lake Mohave reservoir (Part of Lake Mead National Rec Area) and with a little research I found that all vessels, including inflatable kayaks, needed a decal showing that it has been inspected for AIS.

Bicycle Trails - easily accessible from campgrounds

Today, as we loaded up our bikes, after removing the bike rack from the 5th wheel, re-installing it onto the truck, loading the bikes back onto it and driving 35 minutes to the trailhead, I was lamenting the fact that we haven't done a good job finding more campgrounds with easily accessible bike tra...

Bicyclists - replacing bike tires

When we arrived in N. CA as we unloaded our bikes, anticipating a couple of good rides along the American River Trail we discovered Dale's tire was needing to be replaced. A little over 2 years on the road and the original tires that came with our bicycles were showing bad signs of wear. So, after a littl...

Stained Glass---Working out of the RV

Longarm in toy hauler

This falls under the "dreams" category as we don't have any means to camp at the moment! But I do own a longarm, and got to thinking that if we got a toy hauler and fit it out to carry my longarm, I could take work while at a site, and finish it there before I leave. Would I get any business? I do e...

I really can't give up having a sewing machine and the one I have weighs a ton, at least. I do have one of the very cheap little ones by Singer but it is less than impressive. I want something smaller, lightweight and it doesn't need to do that much but it needs to do a decent job when stitching so no one woul...
