Stunning Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada
During our recent stay in Las Vegas, we were looking for some family friendly places to visit. While we had noticed Valley of Fire NV State Park in our atlases, we really didn’t have a great desire to visit it. The surrounding landscape didn’t seem overly scenic when we had driven by the exit to the park off the Interstate, and we had not seen any overly inviting advertising of the... [Read more]
The Gorgeous Red Rock Canyon, NV…
While we were staying in Las Vegas, Nevada, this past week, we took a little drive out of town to visit the beautiful Red Rock Canyon. RRC is a National Conservation Area (the land is managed by BLM) so we were able to get in for free with our National Parks Access Pass; otherwise, admittance for your vehicle is $7. We first made a stop at the modern visitor’s center, where the younger... [Read more]
Blessed to spend CHRISTmas in our RV…
Christmas in an RV can be a greatl experience! We wondered, that first year that we were traveling, if Christmas would be as wonderful and as meaningful as it always was to us in the house. This year will be our 3rd Christmas ‘houseless’; and we have found that we may just enjoy Christmas all the more without the house! Granted, there are some ‘sacrifices’ that we... [Read more]
One Sweet Stop…
One of the reasons that we love to fulltime RV is that it gives us the chance to visit all sorts of places that we wouldn’t be able to see if we were just on a 2 week vacation. One of the places that we visited last week, here in northern California, was the Jelly Belly factory. I loved the Jelly Belly factory!!! Not because I love jelly beans, because, to be honest, I don’t much... [Read more]
The beautiful Redwood National Park, CA
One of the places that we really enjoyed visiting the first year that we were on the road was the redwoods on the coast of northern California. That first winter out, we drove through the Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park, and were completely enraptured with the redwoods – both the trees themselves, and the surrounding flora that looked like it was straight out of Jurassic Park (and actually,...

Is your RV insurance adequate???
As we have been dealing with the frame failure of our Gulf Stream 5th wheel, we have found the learning curve to be quite steep! It has been nearly 2 months since we realized that the ‘up-stairs’ part on our frame was cracked in all 4 corners, and that our rv was not structurally sound. Fast forward those 2 months, and our RV is finally getting fixed (over the course of the next... [Read more]
And the Frame Failure Fiasco Continues…
For those of you following our long, drawn-out frame failure issues, I thought it was about time for an update! I contacted various executives at Gulf Stream yet again, this time with links to the various articles/blogs that I have posted to alert other rvers to the potential for frame issues – still not a single answer or reply (not that, after 2 months of brush-off, I expected anything else). ...

Akin to lawyers…
Shopping for a new RV should be a very fun experience, shouldn’t it??? Not if the salesmen have anything to do with it… I don’t know if it is because we fulltime, because we just experienced frame failure and are nervous about buying another 5er, or maybe it’s because we travel with 10 of our children… what ever the reason, RV shopping this time has not been fun. ...

why we chose a toy hauler…
Toy haulers are popular with those rvers who enjoy getting out with their ‘toys’ – toys like quads, dirt bikes, and razors (even a golf cart here and there). While we have a quad and a couple of dirt bikes, we store them while we are on the road, and they don’t come along with us. But a toy hauler is still our first choice of rv – we are hauling cargo, but our cargo... [Read more]
Frame failure and homelessness…
Approx. 2 years ago, our family went from owning our own house to being houseless - we sold our sticks and bricks and bought a toy hauler to call home while we travel the country. In the past few weeks, we have gone from being houseless but with a home (our toy hauler), to being homeless. Our 5th wheel has suffered frame failure. And it’s not just our frame that is experiencing... [Read more]
