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.

Introducing Xscapers – A New Generation of RVers by Escapees RV Club
Flash back to last spring… we were heading across country from our winter in Florida, had just caught back up with our buddies the Snowmads and were contemplating caravanning down Route 66 with them starting in St. Louis and heading west. We figured we’d then poke around the western states before our Oregon lighthouse hosting gig […]
The (Almost) Fantasy of Solar-Powered RV Air Conditioning
We see the questions all the time – people wondering: What will it take to run an RV air conditioner off of solar power? We get asked for advice in email regularly, and see the topic constantly coming up on various forums. (And now the Wynn’s are claiming they’re doing it – they’re not really, see […]

Back to Boondocking: Being Electrically Abundant in a Mostly Electric RV
We’ve seen it advised so many times on RVing groups and forums, if you want to boondock – you have to rely on propane for cooking, refrigeration, hot water heating and heating. If your coach is electrically dependent, don’t bother trying to boondock for long. We say.. phooey to that. It is entirely possible to feel […]
