We had a nice twenty-mile ride Saturday morning. It had been a while and it was good to be back in the saddle again. There are no headphones when we ride as we need to be able to hear cars and trucks around us. Aside from the noise of the wind, and man, Saturday’s ride…

Everyone has their “must haves” and so do we.
The All Important Weather App
You have your travel planning apps, fuel apps and fitness apps. They are all key apps to have for RV travel. But don’t forget one of the most important apps: weather. Currently I have seven weather apps on my phone. I know, seven may seem excessive but I used to have nine. You could say I’m…
Spring Cleaning
Everywhere you look people are talking about spring cleaning. The RV is no different. When we had our class C, we would take a day and go through it top to bottom. Mark would take care of the outside while I handled the inside. It looked so good when we were done. Our Phaeton is no…
E-Z Hook
People often post questions on different forums about “must have” items for their RV. The responses range from a plethora of tools to wine openers and more. We also have a list of things that are so important they stay in our Phaeton. Yes, tools and a wine opener are on that list. So is…
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
TPMS, that’s sexy talk. But seriously, there is nothing sexy about a blown tire. They always happen at the most inopportune time and for us, in the middle of nowhere. Like 100 miles east of Denver on Interstate 70 middle of nowhere. Thankfully, blow outs were only an occasional happening. Our first blowout was on…
Spa Day
Mark’s girlfriend, aka our Phaeton, just had a luxurious spa day. She’s a lucky girl. Every February Andrew and his wonderful crew from ANS Detailing work their magic on this pretty girl. Mark found Andrew shortly after we bought this new girlfriend and we’ve been using him ever since. He is based out of Scottsdale…
Stargazing App
We are lucky in Arizona to have almost perfect skies for stargazing, even in the metro areas. But get outside of the Phoenix area and the skies are ablaze with stars and planets year round. Flagstaff is a designated dark area which offers an even better seat for stargazing. One of the only apps I…
Fun & Fancy Freezer Gadget
Who says ice cube trays have to be boring! Silicon isn’t just for baking pans anymore. We found these at Amazon but I’ve also seen them at BevMo and Total Wine. You can also find open tray versions just about anywhere. The larger one is a one-at-a-time version and the small sphere version freezes four…
Ugh! Generator Fumes
Ugh is right. You’re tailgating the rivalry football game or camping at a rally and the guy next to you fires up his generator. Not a big deal until you are getting asphyxiated by his generator exhaust. Who has experienced this? Who has been “that guy?” Living on the face of the sun, aka Arizona,…
Flags are flying!
Flying your favorite flag high above your RV isn’t just for NASCAR anymore. 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 the rule was…
