It’s not yours until you break it. That’s how the saying goes, so I’ve heard. Well, the RV DEFINITELY feels like mine now after just a few years. I guess technically I didn’t break (all of) the things that have needed attention along the way, but I have been getting really intimate with how to fix stuff. On the list of things… Read More
Leaks. Again. So it seems I’ve been kind of lucky with the leak issues in my RV. Mostly, they’re not rain water coming inside (although there is one of those, but that’s a bigger post for another time). So far, a lot of the dripping has been related to something in the bathroom going bad. I’ve already… Read More
Tread Carefully One of the things that our house requires as regular maintenance that stick-and-brick homeowners never have to worry about is tires. Much like the foundation below most peoples’ houses, our tires are the cornerstone holding everything else up, and they’re pretty much forgotten most of the time. You just assume they’re there, doing what they do, and… Read More
Fixing a leak – the easy/hard way. On the way back from Austin to Houston after a 2 month stay at a dealer getting the larger bedroom slide fixed… we blew a tire. That sucked. Immediately after having said tire replaced in the driveway of a random apartment complex we were forced to pull into… the toilet sprang a leak. That sucked even… Read More
A New Look in the Living Room When I bought my RV in 2012, one of the features of it was a fabric pattern clearly stolen from someone’s grandmother’s home in the late 1980s. While I can definitely see that browns and blacks go well with some accent colors… Gold is not the one I would choose. Also not in the quantity… Read More
The Photography Home Office I’m so excited to finally share pictures of the inside of the Melodic View travel trailer! These have been a long time coming since it’s purchase in January of this year. We made several modifications to the Keystone Springdale Summerland Mini (what a mouthful!) and are super happy with the way everything turned out. I… Read More
A Photography Workshop…on Wheels? If this sounds as skeptical to you as it first did to me, then you and I are in the same boat! During 2015, I finally started to wrap my head around what full-time RV life will be like: all the adventures and all the challenges. I still haven’t experienced it, but I’ve grown accustomed… Read More
Seriously. EVERY single time. Picked up the RV in Austin. Slide is fixed! Celebrate! Before we got out of the city limits, front tire blew out and 4 hours spent arranging for a new one. And this is AFTER the toilet sprung a leak.… Read More
Every single time. It seems that every single time I get the RV out of storage and ready to go somewhere for a weekend or a week, or whatever – there’s something. Something new and small, but wrong or broken or not quite working right. It’s been the generator on some recent trips, and other times it’s been… Read More
