When I was a kid and travelled with my family in the truck camper we made a trip to Yellowstone National Park. I was fascinated but what I saw there and remembered it vividly. Since then I have wanted to go with Kory and show him all of Yellowstone’s coolness, uhhh I mean hotness. For those of you who have been I’m confident our video will bring back great memories, and for those of you who have not, I think...
Let’s see now, what was happening in 1976. Oh yeah, Mrs. Sanderson was my 1st grade teacher and she twisted my ear for some unknown reason??? I can’t imagine I was chatting too much or not paying attention! Not me! Kory was running around in the bush doing who knows what, like a little hooligan, but making sure he was always inside at 4:30 to catch The Flintstones. On the World stage however much more important things were happening, at...
Ahhhhh, The Fall! There are many things people like about the fall. In my neighborhood the Shuswap, one of the biggest things is Peace and Quiet. After a busy tourist summer, when the population here explodes and people are working long hard hours. September brings a sense of calm. The weather is still beautiful, the sun shining, the lake like glass, plants and flowers still look beautiful but it is a time for folks to relax. The majority of tourists...
I compare RVs all of the time and it is a tough job, (come on people do I hear an Awww! out there?). No really, there are a lot of factors to take into consideration and the biggest that makes the job hard is that different levels of trailers offer different levels of amenities and finishes for different dollars! When looking at the Grand Design Reflection 303 RLS I’m taking into consideration the construction quality, floorplan, finishes and the differences...
In this post we are happy to share the nuts and bolts construction review of the Grand Design Reflection. You can find specific model tours/reviews, such as the 303 RLS here as well. But we all know that no matter how tempting it is to just focus on the floor plan and finishes we must know more about construction. The best thing about doing research and sharing videos on these topics is that we are always learning something new. It...
What’s an RV Sometimer you ask? We get asked this all of the time and our answer is always the same. It’s more about what an RV Sometimer is not! We are not Weekend Warriors, we are not Snowbirds and we aren’t Fulltimers. When we realized that we did’t fit into any of these groups we started to have an identity crises, asking ourselves “WHERE DO WE BELONG” haha. Not really but it seems there are many categories of RV...
This trailer was a pleasure to go through. It had lots of history being used in WW II. As it happens today, it was happening back in 1941, people were using their RVs for living quarters while they worked and it just so happened that work for the original owner was as a Defense Worker during the war. This make and model was a top of line trailer and was very rare due to the totally cool trolley roof which...
I know, I know, we can’t seem to sit still! There’s just too much to see. Two of the biggest cities in British Columbia are Vancouver and Victoria and we love them both. I wouldn’t call us city people but we are for sure city visitor people. We love being there for a little while but then we are off to slower quieter places. Both cities are beautiful with flowers, green space and of course the Pacific Ocean. They both...
In this post we are sharing a bit more about what we do when we are at our home base. Essentially, we use the better weather months to visit and do necessary projects on our properties in Northern and more remote places in BC. The thing about having properties in these areas is we get to continue our adventures to these beautiful places while doing work. We really don’t ever get tired of the scenery in BC. The more we...
Doing RV Reviews really is the funnest thing. I love checking them all out and this one provided a couple of really great features. One, it is a Grand Design and these days that is a pretty popular manufacturer, so I was happy to review a lighter weight family friendly model. Second, the 2800BH is a bunkhouse model. Yes, these bunkhouses are super popular. They generally offer made up bed space for everyone. It also gives extra storage because you...
