eBike Test Drive!
We've been considering buying some eBikes having seen so many people riding them lately and the fact we are planning a trip to Utah's Big 5! We figure trying to hike everywhere isn't going to work for us but maybe we can bike back

The Downside to Boondocking and Harvest Hosts
In our travels, we have boondocked several times now. We have had combinations of utilities from everything to nothing just depending on the situation. Our current campsite is at a Harvest Host in Mesa that offers water and power so overall we are well off BUT we are staying 10
Suspension Follow-up
If you've been following our posts you know we updated our CRE3000 equalizer with Lippert's Center Point Air Ride Suspension. It basically adds an airbag in place of the standard equalizer between the axles. The airbag takes a lot of the road bump shock so that
New Travels!
We are "Puttin' Some Miles on It" again on our next adventure. Check out our latest stops at Balmorhea State Park and Rio Grande Winery in our "Travels" section and follow along as we continue to explore the Southwest! See you out on the highways
Suspension Upgrade
This was our 3rd maintenance day in a row. Unlike the first two spent fixing things broken while on the road, today was spent upgrading our RV. We decided to upgrade our suspension with the Lippert Center Point airbag system. It has an airbag that takes some of the shocks
Refrigerator Power
Yesterday we releveled and today no power. Well, so much for an easy retirement and stress free camping! We woke up this morning to find the refrigerator was dead. No lights and not even a beep when we touch the control panel. We’ve seen this once before when the
Releveling the Fridge
We decided to work on an issue with our Furrion refrigerator leaning back too far. Ever since our last trip up to Grapevine, it’s been leaning too far back compared to its “normal” look. It made the doors hit the sides of the cabinet and was causing damage. I
Frozen Pipe!
It went down below 20 degrees or so here in south Texas last night. That's the coldest we have seen while we were camping in our rig! We have seen colder temps but we weren't camping and the camper was fully winterized. Recently, we had been
Christmas Lights
We are big fans of viewing Christmas lights around the holidays and this year was no exception. We spent Christmas with our daughter's family which included our 4 grandkids! Here's just a sampling of what we saw: We took our grandkids to see a huge drive
SNOW!
In planning this trip to Pa for Thanksgiving, Kim had expressed some concern, “what if it snows?” to which I replied, “it’s only November, they never get much snow.” That would come back to haunt me very quickly. We weren’t that concerned about the cold since our Reflection
Rear Jack Issue
We had just finished leveling the RV when the error light kicked on and it displayed a right rear jack error. That’s the second time that we’ve seen that error. The first time it kept giving me problems but I could manually retract it for quite a while
Low Turbo Boost Engine Code
While we were in Omaha we had the Oil changed and took it to a dealership at which Kim’s old friend worked and could get us an appointment. It was billed as an oil change with 50 point inspection. You know the type. They check everything and try to
