Step Into our RV Kitchen for a Tour while we Prep Dinner
We’ve had several requests to do a ‘RV Cooking Show’. We’ve been hesitate to share about our cooking – while we can occasionally make a tasty meal, we really don’t consider ourselves chefs or foodies. What could we possibly impart upon others?

RVing Gear that keeps us Hot and Not Bothered
As cold temperatures descend upon us, we’ve been working on optimizing our options for heating things up in a variety of conditions. We’re a mostly electric coach, and have spent the past several weeks doing a lot of chilly dry camping as we’ve headed down the Eastern Sierras. With our newly installed solar panels, we’ve been […]
