Yeah, I went and did it, today.

I prepared the camper for the long winter, which basically means we won’t take it out again until April or May.  All that’s left is to move the thing to the storage area.

So I sit down with a little coffee, and begin to look at the world around me this chilly December night:

Very true, Billy , it does only go 250 miles per charge… or less….  And, as you say, it then needs three or four hours to recharge on a good day. 

What you fail to reckon with, however, is that’s

Just got back from a camping trip over to the Erie run. So we call it, anyway.  This would be loosely defined as interstate 90, routes 5 and 20, anywhere between Buffalo, and Cleveland.

Just about every Columbus day weekend,

When we woke up in the morning, we must have spent at least an hour listening to the birds and the squirrels making noise all around us. That’s something we don’t often do at home. We had some breakfast, and

So here came July 4th weekend. We haven’t gone much of anyplace this year for several reasons… mostly, two cats that need medication daily. But we’re setting out to Lakeside Beach State Park, which is our new favorite park of

Steven Coffman mentions a need for a 12v fridge for under $100.

I have found the Thermo-electric Coleman cooler, (http://www.avidoutdoors.com/co40quthco.html) to be very useful. It’s a shade over $100 list, add the 110v power supply and you go to $140,

We’re at that part of the year where we’re not quite ready to bring the Kiwi home, and yet we’re champing at the bit to bring it home.

This year perhaps, came a little earlier than some years, given that

OK, yes… it’s been a while since my last post in here.
The trouble is simple; it’s hard to envision a lot of what I need to do to prepare for next season with the poor trailer sitting in storage,

Those of you read the posts that put up above lake Erie state park will recall that I made mention of the idea that that might be our last run for the year given weather conditions around western New York.
