We know, we know, it seems a bit complicated but really it isn’t! We are RV Sometimers so logistics are a bit different for us. We aren’t in our RV constantly because we like to be at our home base sometimes for various reasons. The thing is Sometimes we are very far away from our home base when we want to be there and it just wouldn’t make sense, financially and for time, for us to drive the Beaver back....
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...
As RV Sometimers, obviously we love to travel but I have been noticing one thing that I do reguarly at our home base that just isn’t an option when we are on the road. That is the option to Recycle. Recycling is a complex topic and there are many factors that go into it that are mostly controlled by government policies but I believe that we all can play a role and certainly do a bit better at the practice...
We made our way back to our home base in the Shuswap at just the right time. The sun was shining and things had dried up. No mud! I love that. We are lucky enough to live on a huge, beautiful, clear lake called the Shuswap Lake in British Columbia, Canada. We really like to be here over the summer months, but having a large lakefront property also has a lot of work attached to it. Lucky for me Kory...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
Some people think being on the road for special occasions is hard/complicated/ bad, but it’s not, really! We still work it out to spend time together as a family to have a celebration and technology allows us to video chat and spend time together that way. Gift giving is still fun but doesn’t necessarily come in a box or have a bow on it. We believe that gifts don’t have to be things but can be experiences or services. This...
Just in case you are a little confused, I’ll explain our timeline. We are actually, in real life, finishing our Chapter 3 travel time and filming, but our youtube channel and therefore the corresponding blog posts are a few months behind. I know, I know I am trying to edit faster and get more content out but remember I’m a newbie, old girl learning a new game here! It’s coming quicker all of the time but boy do I have...
