Roadtreking | The small motorhome lifestyle - Help wanted: How do I fix this?




From the site: Roadtreking | The small motorhome lifestyle - Help wanted: How do I fix this?

Help wanted: How do I fix this?Okay. I’m a klutz. I was trying to shut the front curtains on the Roadtrek eTrek the other night and pulled them too hard across the little channel that they slide on. Three of the little clip/slider things ripped off the back of the curtain hem and, well, the result is I have a noticeable gap when I pull the driver’s side curtain across. I can get by till I fix this by pulling down the sun visor to block out the gap but I do indeed need to fix them. I read Roger and Lynn’s post on curtain repair from a few weeks back. Since we do not have a sewing machine and neither Jennifer nor I are very handy with such things, I’m wondering if there is an easier way or, better yet, someone or some ...Read more...

RV Khronicles of Kevelyn - St. Joseph Plantation




From the site: RV Khronicles of Kevelyn - St. Joseph Plantation

Yesterday the sun finally came out and temperatures climbed into the 60s. We took advantage of the nice weather and took a tour of St. Joseph Plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana, which is about 30 miles west of New Orleans. River Road runs along the Mississippi River and has several plantations open for tours along it. In its prime, there were over 1,000 plantations along this stretch of the river. I had another Groupon coupon for this tour so it was $15 for the both of us. Tours of a couple of the more popular plantations go for $120 per person if you go on a tour bus. I think we got a very good deal, and the tour was very interesting. St. Joseph Plantation is still a working sugar cane operation. They have about 2,500 acres which are pla ...Read more...

Me and My Dog ...and My RV - Goodbye Quartzsite!




From the site: Me and My Dog ...and My RV - Goodbye Quartzsite!

I need to be in San Diego for medical/dental/vision appointments in a week, so on Sunday, February 2, Katie and I said goodbye to Quartzsite.  We had a great time this year and I'm already looking forward to the next season, which means we'll be heading back that way in October.Before we left we visited Denise and Bennie.  Denise had some solar panel riser knobs she wanted to give me and we changed out the nuts on mine for the knobs.  Thanks, Denise!The dogs got a chance to wander around together a little before we reigned them in.  Bennie is such a quiet, non-aggressive little guy that Katie has no problems with him.  She's good with most dogs now, but is still not crazy about the dogs who are straining at their le ...Read more...

From the site: LongLongHoneymoon.com | Videos, tips & information for travelers. - How to Program a Ford Key Fob

Here’s a straightforward “how to” topic that doesn’t need a lot of explanation. When you buy a Ford diesel pickup truck, the odds are pretty good that you’ll get one keyless entry remote. While keyless entry isn’t exactly necessary for survival in the wilderness, it is a nice feature. It comes in particularly handy late at night, when you want to ensure your truck is securely locked without stepping outside your cozy rig. We carry at least a couple of key rings when we are Airstream camping. One ring is loaded with the full “library” of keys. This includes ignition keys, water compartment keys, hitch lock keys, padlock keys, storage compartment keys, and keys to a number of mysterious items t ...Read more...

Living The Dream... - Wednesday, February 5, 2014 (La Posa South LTVA, Quartzsite, AZ)




From the site: Living The Dream... - Wednesday, February 5, 2014 (La Posa South LTVA, Quartzsite, AZ)

As I said yesterday, today is going to be a work day. So just before 9:00, after loading all of the laundry into the truck, we were off into Quartzsite. Steve dropped me (and the laundry) off at the Main Street Laundromat and went off to do his chores....get propane, gas and fresh water. He returned just as I had pulled all of the laundry out of the washing machines...good timing! Although Steve had filled up the truck with diesel not too long ago, he wanted to top the tanks off, so we stopped at the Arco station for the best price...$3.75/gallon. The truck only took $52 worth of diesel...wish all of our fill-ups were that cheap!Once home, I hung the first batch of laundry on the clotheslines while Steve prepared the truck box for the ATV's ...Read more...

Tres Michelle - Pinnacles National Park




From the site: Tres Michelle - Pinnacles National Park

This weekend we went to the newest National Park in the system, Pinnacle National Park! It was upgraded from a National Monument to a National Park in 2013. This park was uniquely beautiful as we've come to expect of all the National Parks.The scenery was great and as an unexpected bonus there was lots of wildlife! I think this may have had something to do with the rain that day. We say lots of deer, quail, wild hogs and a fox!See the fox?Enjoy our photos from our day in the park-We walked through Bear Gulch Cave, very neat!Red trees throughout the park, they were really this color! ...Read more...
