Highs and lows of our motorhome trip part 2

Fleur @Fleura (35007) • United Kingdom 7 Sep

After the first night shenanigans things went a lot more smoothly. Partner got unnecessarily stressed about all sorts of things: The storage compartments at the back wouldn’t always lock at the first attempt. Not a big deal, I...

Highs and lows of our motorhome trip part 1

Fleur @Fleura (35007) • United Kingdom 7 Sep

This got a bit long so I've split it into two parts. So what was the verdict of our week in a motorhome? Would we do it again? I have to say I’m not sure about that, as a family anyway. I enjoyed the experience. We did have a...

Fleur @Fleura (35007) • United Kingdom 6 Sep

Several of our friends have invested in camper vans/ motor homes, and they do look cosy and seem like a convenient option. Go wherever you fancy, no need to pay for a hotel, no need to put a tent up in the rain, never forget...

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 17 Nov 24

Well, we got the camper in a couple of weekends ago to get the toilet valve replaced, add some bolts to a loose stabilizer, air up the tires, and have it winterized. And now it's time to pick it up and bring it home. Well, at...

Camping Money

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 6 Oct 24

Every time we go camping, we of course spend a bit of money. Beyond the cost of the campsite, of course, you tend to always stock up food items and other things you might need that is impractical to take along. On top of that,...

And getting ready for this trip means attaching the honey cart to the back of the camper as shown in the photo because the sites at Pocahontas State Park in Virginia have electric and water hookups but not sewer. I will also need...

Camper Journey #4 And Final

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 10 Sep 22

Well, that's not quite how I expected this day to go. I mentioned in an earlier post we were headed to my nephew's baseball game and then were going to go to lunch, and maybe hit Walmart in Waterloo. Nope. We wound up in St....

Camper Journey #3

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 9 Sep 22

Okay, okay. So, all told, I really like this one. So does the wife. I don't like the price, though. So, I sent a text to Gator and basically said, "So, on this one, how low can you go?" My offer would be $34.5k. But I am...

I Was Thinking About Leaving Work Early

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 9 Sep 22

Heck. You know, it's Friday and all, and it is a bit dead around here. I was thinking I might just go to my co-worker in the office next door (the snake he is notwithstanding), and just say, "Dude. I'm out. Have a good...

Camper Journey #1

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 7 Sep 22

I guess in a way it is sort of like a daily or periodical "what I had for dinner" post. Although, in this case it is "when am I going camping?" You will have to read some of my previous posts to get the reference on that one....

Giving Baths

DW Davis @DWDavis (25797) • United States 19 Jun 19

I spent this afternoon giving baths to the Beast and the Eagle. Respectively, those are our truck and our camper. The only area I wasn't able to reach was the top of the camper. I count on Mother Nature to keep that area clean...

2 Guys Building A Driveway

DW Davis @DWDavis (25797) • United States 19 Jul 17

My missus decided our driveway was too narrow and too short. I hired someone to make it wider and longer. Wow, that's a short discussion. Let me expand on the issue. My missus and I have decided to commit more fully to the RV...

In about two weeks we will be leaving home and driving to a camp ground not to far away from home. We have been dying to go camping and I cannot leave our area yet. My doctor says NO. So we decided that we will go on a mini...

Making A Flyer

DW Davis @DWDavis (25797) • United States 5 Apr 16

The sales kind, not the Wright kind. I got home from work today to find a honey-do list stuck in my computer keyboard. Three of the items had to do with trying to sell our popup camper. I took care of one of those, am (sort of)...

Craigslist Kudos

DW Davis @DWDavis (25797) • United States 3 Apr 16

This time last year I was not very impressed with Craigslist as a means of getting something sold. I had been advertising my sailboat there, among other places, for over a year with no real action. Last summer the boat did finally...
