Everyone has their “must haves” and so do we.
Gen-Turi YouTube
Ugh! Generator Fumes. We can’t always stay with full hookups. Rallies, races and tailgating are some fun places to dry camp. Let’s face it, some of the prettiest places on earth to camp don’t have any kind of hookup. That’s where this wonderful contraption saves the air! Mark shows just how easy it is to…
NEW Campfire in a Can
Like many of you, we love a good campfire. But, living in the desert southwest can make that a challenge. Sometimes it’s our tinder dry conditions and sometimes real fires are a no-no at the campground. What to do, what to do. We’ve had the Camp Chef brand campfire in a can for a few…
Flying Flags YouTube
Flying your favorite flag high above your RV isn’t just for NASCAR anymore. Flying Flags YouTube We fly our flags when riding in the desert so it’s easier to find camp when we get close. This was really handy when the boys were younger. We’d let them ride around the area close to camp and…
Perfect Folding Ladder
Honey, do we need the ladder? When we had our class C the answer was always no. Mark is super tall and nothing was out of his reach besides the fact we had virtually nowhere except inside to store it. I suppose we could have tied it to the roof access ladder in the back…
EZ Hook

RV Project: New Radio
Out with the old, in with the new. It was time. The original owner of our Phaeton upgraded to a fancy radio/navigation system that was woefully out of date when we bought it four years later. We really liked having the all-in-one system and looked into updating the map. Holy cow was it expensive. Nope,…
Stain-Away
Let’s face it, life on the road is just as dirty as life at home. Mark used to drive in some sort of white shirt on trips. Notice how I said used to? It became a self-fulfilling prophecy as something always happened where he needed to get under the motor home on a drive if…
Campfire in a Can
Oh how I love a campfire. I’ve professed it many times. It’s THE place to gather at the end of a day to laugh and share stories with your friends or to relax with your husband and a good glass of wine, or whisky. Not every campground allows open campfires anymore. Sometimes it’s a space…
RV Project: New Headlights
Under the file of “they don’t make things like they used to” is a large section for vehicle headlights. There is a cottage industry for various ways to combat the annoying clouding, yellowing and general awfulness of it all. Our Phaeton has been afflicted with the yucky headlight disease for a couple of years now. …
