As experienced RVers, we are often asked about personal safety out on the road. What about carrying some form of protection? As former law enforcement, Marc is very familiar with both lethal and non-lethal weapons, having used and been trained in firearms, tasers and pepper spray. On the other hand, Julie has never used firearms
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
Welcome to our second of two blog posts and related videos about our highlights from the 2019 California RV show. If you haven’t already seen part one, you can click here to check it out.

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
Taking good care of your tires is important, especially as an RVer. We have always been diligent about tire safety, care and proper inflation. But until recently, didn’t have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on our RV. Here we review the TST 507 Tire Pressure Monitoring System by Truck System Technologies. We chose to
In our 5 years of full time travel, we have had many highlights and challenges. Five years is a long time, and we have so much to share. Even trying to keep our lists to the top 5, we still had too much content for a single post and video. So this is part 2
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
