Let’s talk jacks. With our Phaeton, gone are the days of driving up on the plastic lego-like or homemade wooden blocks to get us level. Now it’s a simple push of the button and we are set. But, the surface we camp on sometimes needs better support, especially on asphalt or dirt. And, let’s face…
Category: Must Have Products
Everyone has their “must haves” and so do we.
Easy Apple Crisp
I went to my first kitchen party not long after we got married. The company isn’t in business anymore, I think Pampered Chef cornered the market and squeezed them out. I still have the items I bought 20+ years later. One thing I use over and over again from that party is this Apple Crisp…
Magic 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…
The Marvelous TrackMat
I’m standing on the proverbial rooftop shouting the good news of this most awesome item that every RV needs. I’m serious. This mat is all that and more. It all started last November while I was reading the latest Motor home magazine. Tucked away on page 66 in their Tech Savvy section was this must-have…
The Magic Rubberband
How many times have you been pleasantly rolling down the road, hit a bump or rough section of highway and hear the dreaded noise of something falling out of a cabinet? Show of hands… Yeah, us too. We have this set of cabinets in the “kitchen.” We store cans, spices and other items in…
Keeping Your Clothes Clean
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…
Cleanest Shower Ever!
We bought our Phaeton on consignment and it was clean enough. But not really clean and the shower definitely was not really clean. I had half a day to do a deep clean before our first trip. I pulled out my trusty vacuum and steam mop along with all the cleaning supplies and went to…
Fancy New LED Lights
Not long after we bought our new to us Phaeton, we took a weekend trip just to learn all about this new toy. We chose Tombstone, both because it was a quick drive but it would also give me a chance to learn to drive this thing. I chickened out on driving through Tucson during…
Cleaning the Dirty Coach
We’ve had some “buggy” drives but our recent drive to Bend, OR for a wedding ranks up there as one of the buggiest. We joked that each of us had one good spot left on the windshield so we better not get another bug before we got to the campground. Most of the time we…
