The very cold winter has turned into a cold spring but, Georgia and I made our first RV trip of the year last Friday. It was opening weekend at Fox Hill RV Park in Baraboo, Wisconsin. We always enjoy the Wisconsin Dells area, and we have been to Fox Hill before, so we took advantage […]

I did a couple more complicated modifications to the Kodiak this past weekend. These were not difficult but they weren’t just adds on either. Both took a little work to install. First, I added a StarLights LED fixture in the bathroom. We chose this particular fixture because it has provisions for adding accessories into the […]

I was finally able to get some work done on the Kodiak this weekend. The snow drift in front of the trailer door has melted. It was still pretty cold but at least I was able to get inside to make sure everything was OK and do some easy outside projects. Those Christmas gifts Georgia […]

Sewiepig??? My Christmas wishlist was mostly RV related and I got plenty of accessories I wanted. I will be posting details as I install them and when I do that will depend on the weather. One gift needs no installation though. I got a Sewiepig! This little pink porker weighs almost nothing and just rides […]

Temperatures here got below freezing last night so, it is a good thing that I put the Kodiak to bed for the winter a couple days ago. In preparation for that, I added a RV Pump Converter Winterizing Kit to the water pump. That makes it easy to run the antifreeze through the water lines. […]

Thursday morning I got the campground shuttle over to the bus park then got on the Seaplane Base bus. The atmosphere at the lake is completely different from that at the main show area. It is very peaceful and laid-back out there. If you go to Oshkosh, you should spend some time at the Seaplane […]

The trailer was ready to go by the night of the 3rd. Refrigerator cold, food and clothes loaded and truck fueled. We planned to get up and get an early start to Wisconsin Dells on the morning of July 4th. So much for plans. We woke up that morning to the sump pump battery alarm […]

The long Memorial Day weekend gave us the opportunity to take the travel trailer on a road trip. I added a vacation day on Tuesday to make it an even longer weekend. We hitched up on Saturday and towed to Elkhart, Indiana, in Amish country. The rural areas here are dotted with Amish farms and, […]
