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...

RV SOMETIMER ROAD TRIP THROUGH CANADIAN NATIONAL PARKS

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...

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...

Exploring Vancouver and Victoria Chapter 2 Webisode 4

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...

How we Fund our RVSometimer Life! Chapter 2 Webisode 3 // Kitimat, BC

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...

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...

RV SOMETIMER CHORES (Big Jobs, Small Machine, No Worries) Chapter 2 Webisode 2

We love to travel but we also enjoy the lake at our home base. So during the best months of the year, the hot sunny ones, we love to be in the Shuswap. As RV Sometimers, we still have chores to do to maintain our home base. I know that part doesn’t appeal to some people but Kory really likes doing these projects (especially now that he has the new tractor). Me, not so much, but I do love having...
