The Realities of Bathtime in an RV

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 […]

Complexities of Water in an RV

March 15, 2016 by Mark Kelley 2 Comments

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

March 14, 2016 by Mark Kelley 3 Comments

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 […]

Is Life Better in an RV?

March 9, 2016 by Mark Kelley 2 Comments

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. […]

The original airstream gas range and oven

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 […]

tow vehicle for cross country RV trip

We’re towing our 1969 21′ Globetrotter Airstream travel trailer with our family’s 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. Before the RV trip, the Tahoe was a daily driver, making trips to run errands, shuttling kids around town, and taking the family to the beach and mountains. We had to make some repairs and enhancements to convert the Tahoe […]

January 28, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment
