We feel it’s important to keep some consistency in our kids’ daily life to ease the transition to life in an RV and on the road. With this in mind, we’re trying our best to maintain our kids’ typical nighttime routine, but the realities of the RV make it difficult to keep the rituals entirely […]
A Weekend at Weeki Wachee Springs – North of Tampa, Florida
Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, north of Tampa, is a bit unusual. It has an amusement park flair, complete with the original underwater mermaid show, towering water slides, animal shows, ice cream shops, and an expansive swimming hole and beach with a tiki bar. We visited Weeki Wachee for two days while we were in […]
Photos of a Strange RV Park in Florida
We primarily camp at state and national parks, where everyone who’s camping in the park is a temporary visitor, staying for a couple days to a couple weeks. We recently had to camp at our first private RV park because the state parks were full. The park sits a good ways off the beaten path, […]
Complexities of Water in an RV
The convenience of water is certainly a resource we took for granted at home. Just turn the faucet, and cold or hot water flowed instantly. Even more taken for granted, the drainage system that carried all of that water effortlessly out of the house to make it someone else’s problem. In our master shower at […]
The Challenges of a Family of Four Sleeping in an RV
Our Airstream travel trailer is pretty small, 21 feet from tongue to rear bumper, and we’re squeezing a family of four into that space. More space would have been nice, but our budget for RV and tow vehicle meant that we needed a smaller, lighter trailer that could be pulled by our 2007 Tahoe. We […]
Our Best Photos from the Everglades
We spent a week camping in the Everglades, staying in Flamingo, 36 miles deep in the Everglades. It was wild and buggy. We had adventures big and small, exploring the park by trails, by bike, and by boat. We walked many of the marked boardwalks and trails along the main road in the park to […]
Is Life Better in an RV?
Prior to embarking on our one-year tour of US state and national parks in a vintage Airstream travel trailer, we’d never spent a single night in an RV. Not a single one of us, not even as a kid. Needless to say really, we had (and still have) a heck of a lot to learn. […]
Modifications to the Airstream Travel Trailer
Our Airstream travel trailer is mostly original, though the previous owner made improvements such as install a new air conditioner, a new hot water heater, and replace copper water lines with PEX tubing. You can see pictures of when we bought the Airstream here. We’ve owned our 1969 21′ Globetrotter Airstream for about eight weeks now, […]
Camping at Stephen Foster State Folk Center – Near Lake City, Florida
Stephen Foster State Folk Center, located about 10 miles our of Lake City, Florida, is a hidden gem of a state park and campground. We were unfortunate in that the several days we camped at the campground our family was ill, which limited our ability to explore and enjoy the park. On top of a […]
How do appliances work in our Airstream travel trailer?
I’m learning as I go and don’t everything about how our Airstream travel trailer works. Every time I speak to someone who owns at travel trailer or visit a forum or blog, I learn something new about an appliance or a system that I have on my trailer. Despite my novice knowledge about the appliances […]
