AN UNFORESEEN BENEFIT
We made the decision to become full-time RVers in late 2015. We knew a little about RVing, but just a little. We had camped for years in popup campers.

THINGS GO WRONG
Things do go wrong. Sometimes seemingly all at once. We had stopped for gas about fifteen minutes after we pulled out for the day. We had done the walk around before leaving but missed this one thing. Doing another check at the gas station my wife discovered extreme wear on one of the rear tires. … Continue reading THINGS GO WRONG
