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...
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 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...
I have anxiety. Most days it is tolerable, especially with medication. Today we are getting towed to a mechanic shop, staying there overnight, and getting work done tomorrow. My anxiety is through the roof. I know we don't have to really do anything, but its still a lot of pressure on my shoulders to get things taken care of. Anxiety...
There is this little town in Alabama called Red Bay. There isn't much to the town, but the reason we are headed to Red Bay is simple, Tiffins are built there. We've had issue after issue with our RV Sleipnir, and finally decided to just make the trek here to get as much fixed as we can by people who...
We've been living in our RV for eight months now. Nothing has gone well and now we are considering transitioning off the road. But how do we do that and why? Several factors come into play, our ability to afford and sustain this lifestyle, our quality of life, our ability to see doctors, and how much we are enjoying it....
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...
I know its a Wisconsin thing: Milk in a bag. Like 7-Elevens in the rest of the country, Kwik Trips are all over the place in the midwest, especially Wisconsin. And since Wisconsin is the dairy state, they have fresh dairy products every day. As we travel, we've found other items at stores that just do not exist all over...
