Gillette Roundup!
Wow! What a week! The 103rd FMCA Rally in Gillette, Wyoming was one to remember. Rallies are an action-packed four days of fun and this one was no exception. But, the fun starts before Wednesday. This rally was a family affair for us. Not only were my fabulous in-laws coming but two of Mark’s cousins were…
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 The original owner of our Phaeton upgraded to a fancy radio/navigation system that was woefully out of date when we bought it four years later.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,…
FMCA Rally Seminars
The darn virus sure is messing up a lot this spring. Weddings, graduations and vacations are just a few of the things countless people are having to reschedule or forego completely.

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…
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…
