A Few More Days

As I said in an earlier post, seems like things are progressing, but at a bit of a snail’s pace.  We think that all of the issues with the sale of the house are finally finished to everyone’s satisfaction.  We’ve dealt with the inspection issues.  We’ve replaced the A/C system which couldn’t seem to hold

New Refrigerator, Poor Service from Samsung, Finally fixed

If you are familiar with RVs, you already know they generally come with a special type of refrigerator that doesn’t use a compressor but a heat source to create cool out of an ammonia-hydrogen mixture.  The heat source can be electric or propane making them easy to run “off grid” without needing to run the

Dragging to a Close

Ye Gads!! The contract on our house is very slowly moving to a close, or at least we hope so.  The buyers have their ducks in a row after a couple of false starts, We’ve been told that the loan application is completed and accepted, and is the hands of the underwriter for final approval.

Late Update

I haven’t posted anything for a while, because there hasn’t been much going on relative to our mission to get going full time.  The biggest hold up has been selling the existing sticks and stone house.  Bottom line on that, after consulting with three reputable real estate companies on how to price the house, we

A Tale of Two TPMS

For those not into RVing, a “TPMS” is a tire pressure monitoring system.  These are nifty devices that most cars now have as a factory installed monitor that warns of low tire pressure. When driving an RV, tire failure is potentially just as bad, or even worse, than in a car due to the weight

Tire Pressure Monitor

Something that is highly recommended,especially when towing a car behind the motor home, is a tire pressure monitor.  New cars have required this for several years now with a simple “idiot light” warning system.  Our RV does NOT have one for it’s own tires, and even if it did, that would do nothing for a

Really Busy

Can’t believe I’ve neglected this for so long.  We’ve been really busy and changes made it hard to get to this site.  To bring this up to date quickly, we’ve gotten a lot done.  We’re back to one motor home (who needs two anyway?) and sold the Allegro.  A young couple just starting out in

One more step

It’s been a while since I posted, but things have been moving rapidly at a snail’s pace, if you know what I mean. Seems that we are busier than ever but not much is really getting done.  I guess that’s par for most courses.  The house hasn’t sold in what everyone tells me is a

2007 Monaco Knight Diesel Pusher – Initial Comments

We just got this big bad boy.  It is a different world with turbo diesel power, air brakes, and 8 air bag suspension.  Cruises down the road very well and is much quieter with the engine in the rear.  The only big thing I don’t like is that they didn’t put the generator on a

2006 Tiffin Open Road

This is our third RV vehicle over the years.  Some tmie ago, we had a 34 ft. Georgie Boy.  It was pretty basic, with no slides, on a Ford chassis with the old 460 cu. in. gasoline engine. The next one (a long time later) was a 28 ft. Travel Trailer with a single slide.
