Saddle Up Anyway!
Hey Travelers, I think it was John Wayne who said, “Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.” I know that’s what RVing is all about because the truth is, sometimes RVing scares me to death. I feel a little nervous…
Do I Need to be ‘a Fixer’ to be an RVer?
Hey Traveler, As I talk to prospective RVers around the country the question that inevitably comes up is, “Do I NEED to be a handyman type to RV?” What they mean by that is, do you have to be able…
Full time, Part time, or Once in Awhile
Hey Traveler, I just got back from RVing to the Arlington Homeschool convention in Texas. Everything ran great except my toilet broke off. But hey in the world of RVing that’s just par for the course. Actually the RV toilet…
Picking the Right RV (Part 1)
I’m in the midst of my second RV renovation on my present RV. The first one was eight years ago when I brought it home after buying sight unseen on eBay (1000 miles away). Man that was a red letter…
Let Me Explain – An Intro Into RVing
Hey Dad...or Mom, This is a first for me. I’ve written hundreds of articles on family, parenting, and marriage, but this is the very first time I’ve written a series of articles on RVing as a way of living the…
Greetings from Canada…Eh?
OK this has to be quick. I’m sitting in front of a huge old monastery that some friends of ours live in…cool story. Anyway, we just got out of Canada on Sunday and are making our way to Nebraska (need to be there Friday).
In a nut shell, Canada was beautiful. The weather was lousy most of the time but the few sunny days made the sunny days all the brighter.
We spent several days in New Brunswick, two days on Prince Edward Island, and a couple days near Halifax.
Greetings from Maine

Stopped today at Kennebunkport, MN and drove by the Bush summer home (Walker Point), Nice little spread but it didn’t seem like it had adequate RV parking so we didn’t drop in for lunch.
Repaired, Re-stocked, and Ready to Roll Again
Hey Dad,
For the last couple of days we’ve been home running like ants to get ready to hit the road again. After a great week in PA we made a bee-line home to restock, fit in a few dentist/doctors/CLEP appointments, and take care of a long list of RV items.
My RV list included a cabinet door that was broken a day or two before we came home, removing and having the furnace repaired, recalibrating the back awning that kept unfurling during heavy wind, removing/replacing the shower skylight (leak be gone!), and about a half dozen lesser items.
The National Antietam Battlefield
Hey Dad,
While everyone is taking showers I thought I’d update you on our RV travels.
Tuesday we stopped off at Harper’s Ferry and learned all kinds of stuff about John Brown and his attempt to arm and free the slaves in the south. It was an easy stop and a mighty beautiful spot to stop.
