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...

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...

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...

The Beaver Birthday Bath // How we maintain our coach’s exterior

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...

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...

Our Boondocking Paradise // Laughlin, NV Chapter 1 Webisode 14

Lifestyle choices. We spend some time this week talking about lifestyle choices, being rvSometimers and the types of places we visit. There is so much beauty and wonder to experience out there but then there are those tried and true comfort zone things and places. For us, we are always drawn back to water and greenery and stopping in Laughlin filled up our thirsty souls. We didn’t even realize how thirsty we were until we got there, but ohhhh it...
