Our travels through the state of Mississippi. Where we stayed, what we did and what we spent along the way.

Moundville archeological site is just a few minutes outside of Tuscaloosa and definitely worth a visit. There was once 26 of these massive flat topped mounds, that served as elevated platforms for civic and ceremonial buildings, as well as homes for the elite. By the 1500s it had been mostly abandoned. This is the second largest Native American heritage sites in the country. Once the site of a major city, called “The Big Apple of the 14th Century” by National Geographic. They do have a small campground on site, that we'd recommend checking out if your in a smaller rig and not staying long. Only a cpl of the sites have full hookups and none are big rig friendly. #historicsite #indianmounds #moundville #flashbackfriday #fridayflashback #fridayfact #fridayfun #visitalabama #traveltheusa #gotravel #rvroadtrip #rvwithus #RVing #fulltimerv #rvadventure #RVliving #rvcouple #rvlifestyle #rvlife   #placestosee #liveyouradventure #camperlife   #lifeontheroad #homeonwheels #fulltimervlife #fulltimetravel #travellife #rvtravel
Coaches Corner is the place to be during football season. Talk about tailgating headquarters. Just 2 miles from the stadium and right in the heart of Tuscaloosa. But, off season it's still an awesome place to stop and explore the area. Location means delivery from any restaurant in town and Instacart too. The off-season rates are really affordable. They don't have any amenities but the sites are good and location can't be beat. #tuscaloosa #tuscaloosarvpark #ttown #rtr #thankfulthursday #throwbackthursday #tbt #rvparkreview #rvpark #rvparking #rvroadtrip #rvwithus #RVing #fulltimerv #RVliving #rvcouple #rvlifestyle #rvlife  #5thwheel  #placestosee #liveyouradventure #camperlife #heartlandrvs #heartlandbighorn #lifeontheroad #homeonwheels #fulltimervlife #fulltimetravel #travellife #rvtravel
We got a personal tour of the University of Alabama campus by our friends who work there and went there. Lots of history there, and not just football history - but plenty of that as well. ##rolltide #universityofalabama #campustour #waybackwednesday #wonderfulwednesday#ustravel #traveltheusa #gotravel #rvroadtrip #rvwithus #RVing #fulltimerv #rvadventure #RVliving #rvcouple #rvlifestyle #rvlife   #placestosee #liveyouradventure #camperlife   #lifeontheroad #homeonwheels #fulltimervlife #fulltimetravel #travellife #rvtravel
Tip Tuesday: put UPS battery backups on your major electronic devices. UPS =uninteruptible power supply Whether you're in an RV or a sticks & bricks these devices are ideal to protect your major electronics. A UPS takes electricity from the wall to charge the internal battery while simultaneously providing power to any devices that are plugged into it. The benefit is that if your power blinks or is unstable your devices will continue to be powered without interruption. If your power is dirty or unstable (as is often the case at rv parks), the UPS will continue to provide clean stable power to your devices prolonging their life. We've actually been alerted to power problems at the pole by our UPS systems (they beep when the voltage drops) allowing us to disconnect from the pole & contact the park to have it fixed. Without the UPS inside we wouldn't have known there was an issue. We also have a surge protector at the pole but those don't alert you to low voltage issues. You can buy EMS surge protectors that do but still if all is fine when you plug in you aren't likely to notice a change later (unless you happen to look at the lights on the EMS). Additionally, these battery backups allow us to keep power to our computers and router even during power failures (like the rolling blackouts we had in TX) so that we can continue to work uninterrupted. #emspower #batterybackup #apcbatterybackup #tiptuesday #rvtips #rvinternet #rvgaming #tuesdaytips #tuesdaytip #traveltuesday #techtuesday #topictuesday #techtiptuesday #tuesdaytech #rvtech #rvwithus #RVing #fulltimerv #rvadventure #RVliving #rvcouple #rvlifestyle #rvlife   #camperlife   #lifeontheroad #fulltimervlife #fulltimetravel #travellife #rvtravel
Miniature Stonehenge on the Riverwalk in Tuscaloosa. Enjoyed a stop in Tuscaloosa to visit friends and explored the area a bit. As a Bama fan it's hard to believe Julie had never visited the motherland. #tuscaloosa #tuscaloosariverwalk #mondaymorning #mondaymood #mondayfunday #ustravel #traveltheusa #gotravel #rvroadtrip #rvwithus #RVing #fulltimerv #rvadventure #RVliving #rvcouple #rvlifestyle #rvlife   #placestosee #liveyouradventure #camperlife   #lifeontheroad #homeonwheels #fulltimervlife #fulltimetravel #travellife #rvtravel
The best part of crazy weather is the unique sunsets. #sunset #instasunset #sunsets #sunsetpics #sunset🌅 #sunsetcolors #sunsetsandsunrises #sunsetpic #sunset🌅😍 #sundaysunset #sunsetSunday #campground #rvpark #rvwithus
It was a very short and exhausting week but we did it. We both finished the class and Brandon took it a step farther and sat for the Registered Technician test (of course he passed). Julie opted for much needed rest. The class days are long, starting at 7am if you opt for the small business seminars. We showed up between 8-8:30. There was 1.5 hours for lunch but after grabbing a quick bite we used that time to do testing (homework) on our rig. Then back in class for the afternoon till about 5pm. Then it was dinner, a little more homework and early to bed. We are exhausted. But, it was worth it. We learned so much. We now know how to fix everything we've ever called a tech for and then some. We know why our AC has had issues since day 1 and it's a relatively easy fix - most AC issues are (despite multiple techs telling us we needed to just replace it). That alone was worth the cost of one of us taking the class. We know why the convertor breaker flips for no reason and how to make it stop. And, so much more. We will likely come back next year to take more classes. After the weather and stress of last week we questioned if we regretted coming to TX, but the last week has made up for it. #rvtech #rvmaintenance #rvtechschool #rvtips #ustravel #traveltheusa #gotravel #rvroadtrip #rvwithus #RVing #fulltimerv #rvadventure #RVliving #rvcouple #rvlifestyle #rvlife   #placestosee #liveyouradventure #camperlife   #lifeontheroad #homeonwheels #fulltimervlife #fulltimetravel #travellife #rvtravel

It's not all work at RV Maintenance School. We enjoyed time by the fire with new friends. So cool to get here and realize some of our IG friends are here too.
