Maverick is Headed Back for Service
We understood that buying new, we would have to deal with all the quirks of manufacturing issues. However, this has been a bit more dramatic in scope than we originally planned. From the broken refrigerator, to the leak behind the shower wall, we have learned a TON about RV ownership. While wintering in Florida this…

Ride the Wave
The mountain wave, that is. I BRIEFLY mentioned the unique weather here on the side of Mt. Tabor, but we had another HUGE weather event and Greg has done a lot more research that we wanted to share. What is a mountain wave? That’s a great question. A mountain wave is when wind hits a…

Sumac Update
During our full experience into the area, I had a close encounter with fallen Sumac leaves. It has been 2 weeks, so I wanted to give an update. The first week was absolute hell. I won’t go back through the details, but it was an unpleasant experience. The second week I was pumped full of…

Full-time RVing… it’s not an extra long vacation
…much to my disappointment, lol. I had ‘retired’ and was all in for this months-long vacation, that hasn’t happened yet. However, Greg was still working, so I thought we were doing this wrong. We have now been a part of this lifestyle for 6 months, and have learned so much from experience and from others.…

Getting the full experience
While we came out to this area in the Fall and stayed for 2.5 months, we never took any of the steps to become residents. Realizing our shortfall, we jumped in with both feet as soon as we got back to Greene County. Got my TN license, changed over the vehicle insurance, and got the…

Epic Fail?
I failed at retirement. I have come to the conclusion that retirement is harder than working. Well, I guess I only “kinda” retired, so I only “kinda” failed. Greg didn’t retire at all, so he is still working 8-10 hour days. It’s not fun being retired without him! I can only read so much without…

The 48-Point Turn
Kidding, but not really. How many times did I shift into reverse??? I honestly lost track. We have moved into Old Mountain Campground and are very excited about living at the base of the mountain with access to hiking trails directly from the campground. With that being said, the roads getting into the campsite were…

Back “Home” to TN
We left the farm on February 4th and I already miss it. Well, not the mosquitos, but I was able to spend some quality time chatting with Aunt Lynn and then whatever Uncle Harry and Uncle Jim were up to that day. I’ll miss that for sure. Greg also got to spend some quality time…

Enjoying the Journey. Literally.
Google Maps indicated that it would take about 10.5 hours to drive from where we stayed in TN to Melbourne, FL. Since we have time now, we took four days to make the drive. Yes. Four days to make a one day drive. I love this life. Taking what we learning from boondocking on the…

Boondocking
Boondocking – the art of camping without full hookups (water/electric/sewer). Basically, the rig is a very comfortable tent (unless it’s hot out…). First lesson, drive times. We stayed 3 stayed at a KOA in Tulsa to learn about the rig and make sure everything works the way it is supposed to. We probably should have…
