Have you ever had a vision and then came back 4 years later and realized – you totally found the exact right people to share that vision with? I’m not sure I’m ever going to be able to adequately convey just what the past 3 weeks has meant to us as we have re-immersed ourselves […]

The ’10 Year Rule’ – Do RV Parks Really Turn Older RVs Away?
Since our RV is based on a 55+ year old bus chassis, we’re often asked if we get turned away from RV parks for being too old. There are, unfortunately, some commercial and private RV parks that do have a rule against allowing older rigs. Generally the cut off is 10 years, but sometimes we’ve […]
The Math is Undeniable: Boondocking Is About To Be Busted

Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) for RVs – Why the EEZTIRE is Our Choice
We feel a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is an important piece of safety equipment to have for anyone on the road. With these systems, you install pressure monitoring sensors on each air valve of your tires (ideally including your RV tow-behind), and these sensors transmit pressure & temperature information to a central display screen you keep […]
Crappy RV or Boat Mattress?? Tips for a Great Night’s Sleep!
