The Chicago RV and Camping Show ran from Feb. 13 through Feb. 17 of 2013. Georgia and I visited the show on Saturday. We weren’t shopping for a new RV since we already have a trailer on order but we did want to check out campgrounds and RV accessories. We left with a good 20 […]

Our tiny travel trailer is tucked away for the winter but camping is still on our minds. We have been spending time at RV dealers looking through every trailer on their lots. We haven’t definitely made up our minds to buy a new one but we are seriously considering it. When we bought our 15 […]

We did it! We bought a 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD pickup for more towing capacity. We tried to choose a vehicle that would not only meet our current needs, but would also accommodate a larger trailer if we buy one in the future. On the other hand, we didn’t want to go overboard with more […]

Our travel trailer finally has a new home beside the garage – letting me have my parking space back. Yesterday we had our old driveway removed and a new one laid down. There is now a pad beside the garage for the trailer and a widened driveway in front that will allow room to back […]

We took advantage of the long Labor Day Weekend to return to Lehman’s Lakeside RV Resort where we were seasonal campers for over 10 years. This time we were there as weekend campers but, at our request, were given an RV site in the seasonal area. It was good to meet up with old friends […]

On the lot at Camping World Georgia and I had been considering a small travel trailer that we could pull behind our Jeep Liberty and had even looked at a few. But, with the Alaska trip coming up and not much vacation time left for this year, we had pretty much made up our mind […]
