Amazing Retro RV Restoration (Freedom to Choose your Plan)

There is this amazing community of RVers out there and we are slowly finding them. Really we just have to put ourselves out there, kind people with like interests are everywhere in RVs. So when you put all of my favourite things together like travel, RVs, vintage stuff, cool people, and living life on your own schedule in your own way, it actually has a name! They call themselves The Phoenix Ramblers. Bobby and Sharon are this cool couple who...

Vintage 1936 Alma Silvermoon

Historically, 1936 was a pretty tough year for most folks. The Depression continued as Germany, Italy and Japan planned for WWII. In light of these facts, the construction and sale of a travel trailer seems odd to me. I guess folks who had the means were enjoying life and no one really could have imagined what was coming their way. The average American household income was around $1700.00/year in 1936. So the price of the Alma, which seems inexpensive today...

Grand Design Solitude 373FB (Unbiased RV Review)

We had an opportunity to review a Solitude when we were in Rockport, Texas. I had high expectations from the research I had done and I am happy to report that it did not disappoint! The Grand Design Solitude 373FB was a unique floorplan. On top of the excellent construction and awesome views I forgot we were supposed to be in a tiny home! Ok well, this is a large trailer and will take a large truck to tow it,...

Grand Design Solitude Construction Methods (Unbiased Review)

Everybody know how much we love to research and review RVs and one of the really fun parts of this process is watching and reading about them. We spend hours and hours on this research and 1 brand in particular keeps coming up. It’s Grand Design.  We have said many times we need to check out the Grand Design and see what all of the fuss is about. We finally got our chance when we were in Rockport, Texas.  In...

Rancho Los Coches, San Diego // RV Park Review

Our time in San Diego had a lot of moving parts to it, with getting a rental car, Courtney flying in for a visit and us needing to bring a bike with us places. So, it was important to book a park that had amenities and easy access to things and places we wanted to go to. We really hit the jackpot at Rancho Los Coches for many reasons. We liked our generous site and the amenities were great. At...

Vintage Winnebago Brave // RV Tour

So you ask, what did we do while we were hanging out in Amarillo, TX? Well let me tell you! We are crazy RV people and when someone puts the word MUSEUM together with RV I just wanted to move in. RVs of all ages were found in this museum and it really takes you back to the way things started. The 1973 Winnebago Brave was beautiful! It was in such great shape and it immediately took me back to...

Coffin Carrier to Epic Camper Van Tour // DIY Sprinter Van Conversion

RV life is always introducing us to new people, and new people always have a story we haven’t heard yet. You know how much I love RVs, ALL RVS! So when someone tells me that they had a dream to build their own and then just went at it until they accomplished their dream I am so excited, intrigued and beaming with pride for them. This is exactly what Larry and Wendy did. They dreamed, researched, worked, watched hours of...

The One Log House (Unbiased Tiny House/RV Review)

We love driving on Hwy 101 up and down the Oregon Coast. It is so scenic and the water crashing against the rocks and up onto the beautiful sandy shores is empowering yet it reminds us how insignificant we are. As you move down the Hwy into California and get closer to those grand redwood trees there are so many little stops of interest to see people’s art work and carvings, BUT our favourite place to stop for a coffee...

Cougar 30RKS Review

This review was an emotional rollercoaster for me. I mean really, I went through the process a 20-something woman goes through when she thinks she has finally met the man of her dreams. He is so great when they first meet, he is so nice and looks so good but the more time she spends with him she realizes he just isn’t what she is looking for and finally she just has to admit it, he’s not for her no...

Cedar Creek Silverback 33IK

Back in the 5th wheel category, we reviewed this really nice one.  As you probably already know manufacturers build similar RVs, maybe a slightly different floor plan, but in different levels of finishings with different options. They do this to capture different demographics of users. We can all say “thanks” for this because it gives each of us options that may suit us more particularly to what we want and how we intend to use our RV. That’s what we...
