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 The original owner of our Phaeton upgraded to a fancy radio/navigation system that was woefully out of date when we bought it four years later.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,…

Everyone has their “must haves” and so do we.
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. …

RV Project: TV Upgrade
We love our RV. Every trip we take I’m reminded how lucky we are that this coach fell in our laps. The previous owner took great care of it, top to bottom. There’s only been a few updates that we felt were needed. Since we dry camp a lot, the first thing we did was…
Spot Free Clean
Keeping Mark’s girlfriend, aka our motor home, looking great is a priority for us. She gets an annual spa day where every inch is cleaned, waxed and polished to make her looking brand new again. Mark is the master of the dry wash after a particularly dirty drive and he cleans the windshield at every…
Pristine Clean Vents & Fans
I have looked at my vent fans with angst for a while. I’ve vacuumed them and wiped them with a wet cloth more times than I can count and still they snicker back at me with the remaining dirt. The screen in the bathroom fan holds one pesky pine needle that I swear is laughing…
FMCA Savings
We’re fully into springtime in our corner of the world. Our social media feed is full of people dusting off their rigs from the long winter and planning their summer trips. Here in Arizona, we are lucky that we can use our rig year round. I go through withdrawals when we haven’t gone somewhere over…
