My spring order of SWW Food:Mystic Monk Coffee® has arrived! I am thankful for the Pascha Java since my Christmas Jingle Bell Java supply has run out. This is the first time I have ordered the Easter Sunrise Blend and I look forward to updating the reviews on the SWW Food:Mystic Monk Coffee® after havingContinue reading “Spring Mystic Monk Coffee® Arrived!”

Bearing Repack & Oil Change

Springtime is here! It is time to start getting ready for our first camping trip of the season. The trailer cover was removed last week, trailer tires have been inflated and it is time to start towing the trailer again. While the truck does get driven in the winter, it was notable that a tumbleweedContinue reading “Bearing Repack & Oil Change”

Off For The 2022 Season

With the days warming up, we are getting ready for camping. Time to remove the cover!

Log Entry 20200724

After 147 entries, 18,000 miles, and 135 nights in our travel log, I ran out of the pages that I had created in the journal. I had to bring my journal into to house and create a few more pages. Hopefully now I have enough pages to last another 6 years or so. If youContinue reading “Log Entry 20200724”

We Have a Screw Loose

Part of the joy of owning a travel trailer is constant repair. Today was another round of repairing loose screws in the valences and toilet paper holder. In this case, the screws had pulled out of the thin wood paneling so a repair was required. For this repair, I use wooden toothpicks and wood glue.Continue reading “We Have a Screw Loose”

One Time Too Many

While dropping the trailer off for a bearing repack, I needed to put my chocks under the trailer. Normally, when I drop my trailer off for service I ask to use wood blocks at the service station. Due to the number of trailers they handle and that they are often moving the trailers around theContinue reading “One Time Too Many”

Tread Life

So after 4 years and 36 and a half thousand miles, the stock Goodyear SR-A tires needed to be replaced on the truck. A quick look at TireRack.com showed the Goodyears are not rated well; with only a 3.8 out of 10 would buy again rating. That isn’t a very strong endorsement. While the GoodyearContinue reading “Tread Life”

Toilet Troubles

As we entered March it was time to start getting ready for the camping season. One of the important supplies for the season is to make sure that we have the blank tank waste digester and RV toilet paper for the season. The week we were getting ready to restock, the COVID-19 panic buying setContinue reading “Toilet Troubles”

The RV Show

In December of 2015 after the Christmas rush, SoWeWentUncle made a passing comment that he would like to visit the RV Show in January for fun. SoWeWentUncle’s family had been RVing for a long time, and he already had a camper, so this was something his family did on a fairly regular basis. He hadContinue reading “The RV Show”

Winter Cover (Take Two)

Our first attempt to put the cover on for winter was interrupted for roof maintenance. (See Check Lists Save Time) The winter storm has passed and another sunny, dry weekend is available for putting the cover on the trailer. Inspection of the roof shows that all repairs are good and no other repairs are needed.Continue reading “Winter Cover (Take Two)”
