1975 Winnebago Itasca RV Tour // First One Ever Built!

1975 was an influential year for both you and us! Think about it. The things that happened that year made it so we could be sitting down here together right now, me sharing and you reading and watching. In 1975 Microsoft became a registered trademark and Bill Gates and Paul Allen developed a computer program and a microcomputer called Altair 8800. Now I’m not sure what the definition of microcomputer was but I think it basically meant the computer didn’t...

Vintage 1970 Avion Camper // RV Tour

Back at the RV Museum I was pleasantly surprised to see a truck camper. I had spent many many miles travelling in a truck camper. Our family was on the road from Central British Columbia all the way to Florida and back, as well as many other trips in the camper. When I say travelling IN a truck camper, I really mean it. Back in those days we were allowed to ride unbuckled in the camper as mom and dad...

Vintage 1966 Kenskill Travel Trailer // RV Tour

I don’t remember 1966 but I have learned that a lot of things happened that year that completely affect all of the things I do remember and know today. Here in Canada, the Canada Pension Plan was introduced and has been helping our seniors with some guaranteed income after retirement ever since. I only hope there is some left for us. England won the World Cup and shared mini skirts with everyone and the US was watching Star Trek while...

Vintage 1976 Airstream Argosy RV Tour

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...

Grand Design Reflection // Luxury on a Budget // 303RLS

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...

Grand Design Reflection Construction Methods (Unbiased RV Review)

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...

Vintage 1941 Westcraft

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...

Grand Design Bunkhouse // Imagine 2800BH // (Unbiased RV Review)

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...

Grand Design Imagine Construction (Unbiased RV Review)

We found so many things we really liked about the Grand Design RVs so we went looking for a good cross section of the product to review. The Imagine is a lighter weight trailer which allows it to be towed by a mid duty truck. I don’t know a lot about trucks and towing capacity so make sure you check all of that out before you make your purchase, but this type of design does allow folks to get more...

Vintage 1948 Flxible Bus Conversion

This is the bus with the trademark ‘smiley face’ front. It is easily recognized as an iconic post war people mover. In 1948, we had William Lyon Mackenzie King running our country and the US had Harry Trueman. John Ritter, Prince Charles and Ozzy Osborn were born. The average income was $2950 with baby boomers buying houses for about $7700. They spent .16 cents/gallon on gas for a new car that would have cost $1250. The population was exploding and...
