Emerald Beach RV Park in Navarre Florida was a place we didn’t want to leave, and not just because we had an amazing view of the water (even though our spot wasn’t waterfront). When we...

Why We Drove 800 Miles to Buy Our RV

September 27, 20191 comment

A few people have thought we were crazy to drive 800 miles to buy our first RV. Why not buy something closer? Something you could easily walk through before having it inspected. Why would you want to...

Tip Tuesday: get yourself a set of tire pressure monitors. You'll thank me later. Seriously this would make a great gift for whoever gets stuck checking tire pressures, or changing tires after a blowout/flat. We got this awesome TPMS (tire pressure monitor system) from @mobilemusthave It won't prevent a flat or a blowout, but will let you see where you are and warn you if your tire pressure is heading in the wrong direction. You just replace your current valve stem covers with these special ones and connect them to the monitoring device. Then set you low pressure and high pressure. We found setting the high was a little tricky and initially set it too low, and had the system screaming at us about 30 minutes down the highway. But, we got that sorted out. It saves a good bit of time on travel days, no more having to get down at each tire, remove the valve stem cover, check pressure, etc. Now we just know if any tires need air before we depart, and we know where they stand as we travel - so again no more spending time checking pressure and temp when we stop along the way. It's nice just having solid peace of mind.

That look when you realize you don't need an inspector to tell you the rv lot is full of junk. We have reached the point in our RV journey that we want to move to a Class A. We saw one we liked online in Indiana, so we made the drive from Michigan. The sales guy said it was in great condition. Literally, not a single Class A on this lot was in great condition. We walked into every Class A on the lt, because why not - we'd drove all the way there, we might as well. It was raining that morning and we saw active leaks in about half the rigs we walked into. But, I think the most wtf was the wasp nest. Like do these people even go in the rvs on their lot? We finally talked to the sales guy as we were leaving and he actually took the time to try to tell us about their 8 point inspection that included making sure the rigs were leak - free. 😂 😂 😢 😂 😢 If you're shopping rigs and come across one at Zoomers in Indiana, save yourself a trip - unless, of course, your looking for an overpriced leaky rig. This is why you always get an inspection, but sometimes your own eyeballs can save you the trouble. Our search continues... #rvbuying #rvinspection #getaninspection #classalife #ustravel #traveltheusa #gotravel #rvroadtrip #rvwithus #RVing #fulltimerv #rvadventure #RVliving #rvcouple #rvlifestyle #rvlife   #placestosee #liveyouradventure #camperlife   #lifeontheroad #homeonwheels #fulltimervlife #fulltimetravel #travellife #rvtravel
Do you know the story of Modoc, the most famous elephant in America? We walked into @modocsmarket not knowing that we were walking into a bit of not just Wabash but American history. We looked around while we waited, wondering what was up with the elephant motif. In 1942,the Great American Circus staged a performance at Wabash High School, Modoc escaped and wondered downtown. Smelling fresh peanuts at Bradley Bros Drugstore, she smashed through the front door, ate the peanuts, then spent the next five days exploring two counties before she was caught and returned to the circus. Her headline-making antics made her the most famous elephant in the country for that week in 1942. Poor girl just wanted her freedom. Bradley Bros is now Modocs Market, the best place for coffee in Wabash Indiana. These are the kinds of small town finds we love. #smalltowns #ustravel #ushistory #indiana #wabashindiana #coffeeandhistory #localhistory #elephantlore #circusstories #FridayFunday #fridayfun #ustravel #traveltheusa #gotravel #rvroadtrip #rvwithus #RVing #fulltimerv #rvadventure #RVliving #rvlife   #placestosee #liveyouradventure #lifeontheroad #fulltimervlife #fulltimetravel #travellife #rvtravel
The Wabash Indiana Courthouse and Lincoln Memorial. The Courthouse was one of the earliest buildings to be lit with electricity - using carbon arc light. #localhistory #wabashindiana #wabashcounty #wabashcountycourthouse #smalltowns #waybackwednesday #wonderfulwednesday #ustravel #traveltheusa #gotravel #rvroadtrip #rvwithus #RVing #fulltimerv #rvadventure #RVliving #rvcouple #rvlifestyle #rvlife   #lifeontheroad #fulltimervlife #fulltimetravel #travellife #rvtravel

The tulips 🌷 weren't in bloom when we visited Windmill Island, but the gardens were still beautiful. #windmillisland #windmillislandgardens #hollandmi #puremichigan #visitmichigan #seemichigan #puremi #upnorth #michigan #waybackwednesday #wonderfulwednesday #ustravel #traveltheusa #gotravel #rvroadtrip #rvwithus #RVing #fulltimerv #rvadventure #RVliving #rvcouple #rvlifestyle #rvlife   #liveyouradventure #lifeontheroad #fulltimervlife #fulltimetravel #travellife #rvtravel
A quick stop in Holland to check out Windmill Gardens. Located at the edge of downtown Holland Michigan, it feels like you are stepping into another world. The ideal time to visit is late spring when the 🌷 tulips are in bloom. Our off-season visit gave us the ability to explore without the crowds. Admission is cheap and it's worth it. The main feature of the island is a 250 year old working Dutch Windmill "DE Zwaan" (graceful bird), the blades reach 250ft into the sky. Prior to covid the mill was still actively used to mill flour which you could buy on the island. The windmill was moved from the Netgerlands to the US in 1964. The windmill is the centerpiece of the park which includes a Dutch village recreation and an authentic twentieth century Carl Frei Street Organ (video in next post) and an authentic 1929 Dutch carousel. #holland #dutchheritage #windmillislandgardens #windmillisland #hollandmi #puremichigan #visitmichigan #seemichigan #mondaymood #mondayfunday #rvwithus #rvlife #travellife #ustravel #exploremichigan #exploremore #seemichigan #seeinthesights
