We’re continuing to make upgrades and improvements to our motorhome CC. With the interior makeover complete, the exterior is now getting some RV “love”! It was time to replace the RV awning fabric and slide topper. Are you ready for a dramatic “before and after” transformation? This is an affordable upgrade that can make a huge difference
This is a follow up post from our previous post and video about our recent experience with the infamous ‘Death Wobble’ that sometimes occurs when towing a car. Ours is a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. You can learn more about our hair raising experience with the wobble in our ‘Something is Really Wrong! Death Wobble Breakdown post and
RV Repairs are part of RV life. Our main RV renovation we did last summer is still holding up well, after a full year of full time living, and driving all around the country visiting over 30 states and over 13K miles. That said, there were still quite a few projects, RV repairs and upgrades
If there is one thing more stressful than having something break on your RV, it’s worrying about how much the repair is going to cost you! Especially if you don’t have a stash of cash sitting around and waiting for your RV rainy day. Breakdowns, mechanical failures, and appliances that quit working are all part
Keeping your tires properly inflated is key to safety on the road. This is especially true for bigger vehicles such as RVs and motorhomes. So when VIAIR invited us to review their 450P-RV portable, automatic air compressor we jumped right on it. Over the years, we have heard many of our trusted, experienced RVing friends
Pulled over on the shoulder of a highway in New York, in the rain with fast moving traffic after just experiencing a horrible shaking and wobbling of our motorhome. Not the way we had hoped to celebrate the day on our 5th on the road anniversary. What happened? Our drive that day had landed us
One can never be too prepared for emergencies. And when the battery goes out on your RV, truck or car, a jump starter is a good thing to have in your trunk. We needed a jump starter powerful enough to get the RV going, should the battery go flat. So when NOCO reached out and
We went shopping at an RV Salvage Yard and left with some hard hitting lessons about RV fires, tire blowouts, accidents and the most common causes of this destruction. And importantly – as responsible, safety conscious RVers – some tips on how we can help prevent situations like this happening to us. Fair warning… some
When we decided to change RVs and buy another used motorhome – an older diesel – we knew we wanted to get a professional pre-purchase RV inspection done first, before signing on the dotted line. It ended up being a wise decision that saved us a lot of money. In this video and blog post, we share our RV
https://youtu.be/OvclFoZ-PE0 With our motorhome being a 2012 model on a 2011 chassis, our RV tires were right around the five (5) year old mark in July 2016. And while they still had plenty of tread left on them, they were starting to ‘age out’. A few months earlier, we were getting ready to pull out
We figured our recent experiences with 3 RV Breakdowns in a Month would attract some interest, but we were blown away by the number of views, comments and questions we got in response to our 2-part series. We felt they deserved a proper response so we filmed an impromptu follow up Q&A, and included 10
Following on from last week’s blog post and video, we continue the saga of “3 Breakdowns in a Month” here in Part 2, when we actually broke down two more times – in one day. Good times! This time, we broke down twice in an hour, found ourselves stranded on the side of US-93 and had
