Customizing Your Camper
I’m a full timer. That is… I live in my camper, a fifth wheel throughout the year, day in and day out. I chose the camper I live in because it is WELL built and one of the FEW true 4 season trailers. Not only do I live in mine all year, but I spend …
Winter in Jackson is DONE. Now onto my FIRST RV ADVENTURE of the season…
Have you ever arrived at a campground and found it to be completely DESERTED? Yes, its open, yes you can camp there, NO, no one, not a soul was there! Simply put, I had my “pick of the litter” when it came to campsites! The date – April 4, the place – Tough Creek Campground …

The REAL cost of a RV loan – an analysis…
Yes, it really DID snow on Casper Mountain on 9/25/17. These photos were taken on the morning of 9/25 as the clouds began to break and we could see the fresh snow at about 7000 – 8000 ft. elevation. (And, yes, it did not last long as it IS still September!!) But, as I write …
Glacier Peak vs. Augusta RV Ambition – a VERY interesting comparison
Glacier Peak vs. Augusta RV AND… I’ve made my decision on what my next 5th wheel will be! I’ve been in the market for a new fifth wheel for about 18 months now. I’ve looked at MANY manufacturers models with a focus on design and engineering over “bells and whistles”. Having lived in a reasonably …
