I have accepted a workamping position. I'll probably never give the exact campground where we will be, just for privacy reasons, but I will be posting photos and information and stuff like that. I'm excited to be making this step, I'm hoping it will make things easier for us, and we should be able to work on some projects on...
It is important when living full time in an RV that you have some sort of structure. It is all too easy to wake up whenever you want, go to bed when you feel tired, and float through each day with no sense of direction. Days turn to weeks, weeks to months, and pretty soon you wonder what the hell...
Because nothing seems to go right for us, well, ever, we had another issue with Sleipnir, another tow, and more things going wrong. We really are starting to run out of things to repair or replace, so I hope that soon this is the end of our problems, but I'm always wary of something breaking, something not working right, or...
Its inevitable, bugs get inside RVs. It can't really be avoided, whether ants, flying bugs, or disgusting crawling things like roaches. This is about the flying ones though. This is about something simple and cheap: a bug zapper. We bought this little bug zapper from Amazon. I wasn't sure it would work, we never used them at home as a...
We bought our RV, Sleipnir, just over a year ago. We moved into it last July when our lease was up at our apartment. We took our cats, crammed as much stuff as we could into it, and started to travel. Or at least, that was our plan. As we approach our year anniversary, I'd like to go back on...
We are finally getting our pattern down. We go to a campground, stay for three weeks, then move on to the next one. Our first couple of days are usually spent lounging around, exploring the campground, and figuring out what facilities are worth using. Every day we dirty new clothes though and for that reason, we have to constantly be...
We are Thousand Trails Elite members. As such, we can stay at one campground for three weeks, then go to another campground for three weeks without having to take any time off in between. We spend most of our time in the campground since we don't have a tow vehicle and occasionally ask for rides from neighbors or even the...
There are a few gadgets we find absolutely necessary for living in an RV. Some are cheap, some are a bit more expensive, but all have their uses and fill a need that we sometimes didn't even know we needed to fill. Here's the list of the top items we purchased for our RV and Amazon links so you can...
This summer, we will be working on the mechanical issues in the RV. I hope to get everything fixed and running well. Next summer, we'll work on the cosmetics like redoing the flooring, painting the walls and cabinets and figuring out some way to fix the dreary blinds and curtains on the windows. After that, we'll work on the technology...
Today is a cold and rainy day in Alabama. By all rights, this should give us time to take care of things inside the RV and get back into proper shape. But as can be difficult even in a traditional home, we deal with issues with time management and living in an RV. For starters, its so easy to go...
