After a wonderful but jam packed stay in St. Louis, we had about two weeks to get to Elkhart to start our summer bus projects. And we had a LOT of work stuff stacking up to get on top of before jumping into bus chaos then boarding a train to Alaska! So we set off with […]

RVer’s Guide to St. Louis, Missouri
Of all the cities we have visited over the years, we have probably shared St. Louis with more of our friends than any other. Chris’ parents both grew up in the area, and he went to college at Washington University. His folks still keep a summer home south of St. Louis, so it’s a frequent stop over for us. […]
New RVing Kitchen Gadget Additions
A mistake we made in our first year on the road was buying designated camping gear for our kitchen. We learned our lesson, living in an RV doesn’t mean camping. And you don’t have to compromise. This is your home, and you can have all the amenities of any kitchen. There’s nothing that necessarily makes a […]
Eight Years as a Full Time RVer – A Letter Back to Myself Then
I woke up eight years ago this morning, bright eyed and ready to hit the road. I had spent the prior six weeks going through everything I owned, got rid of most of it and packed everything I thought I’d need for an extended road trip into a small box. It never started out as an […]

Tesla’s Lithium Powerwall – Awesome, But Not For RVs
Oct 31, 2016 Update: Telsa just recently announced the Powerwall 2, and we’ve started getting questions on it too. Here’s our take on it: From an RVers perspective, I don’t see any practical difference between the PowerWall 1 and PowerWall 2. The big change with the PowerWall 2 is that the inverter is integrated and not […]
Wandering through Western Arkansas – Au Pif Style
We’ve made a repositioning from Austin to St. Louis many times over our years on the road. As we have family ties to both locations, we’re often transitioning between two of our favorite cities and we love finding new ways and stops. As we were sitting in Daingerfield, TX, our decision point between two possible […]
Texas Is Big, Part 2 (Our Exit via East Texas)
Our time in Austin was jam packed with quality family time, and lots of social time. We could have easily extended our stay another few days just to enjoy some time to ourselves and attend to some errands. But it was time to move on, particularly since we had our windshield glass replacement scheduled north […]
Smashed RV Windshield – What to Do if a Rock Cracks your Motorhome’s Glass
KA-BANG!!! That’s the sound that startled me out of a the near daze I was in, zoned out in the passenger seat trying to cope with the traffic chaos. We were navigating the roads through the oil fields of Texas just south of the Odessa/Midland area, anxious to escape the endless miles of big trucks, torn […]
