RV Renovation Week 5 – Halfway!

We’re over halfway through our RV renovation, only four more weeks to go and things are finally starting to take shape. The first five weeks of the project was comprised of a lot of unseen tasks - installing of the solar panels, fixing electrical, ordering things, and what not. But the floor is done ...

Moving Into an RV pt. 1

We’ve had some major setbacks over the last couple of weeks. If we learned anything our previous renovation experiences, it’s that a delay in the timeline is inevitable, no matter how well you think you’ve planned and coordinated. On May 25, Chris from Empyreal Solar equipped us with 5 new solar ...

2004 Monaco Windsor Windshield Stress Crack

Sunday, May 28: We headed out to Lowes to pick up more supplies, and when we got back, this had happened to the front of the coach. By the time we got a camera, the crack had spread nearly to the bottom of the dash. The crack was initiated from the top corner, ...

RV Renovation Expenses

We bought the new RV, Explorker2 for $109,000 CAD. Much cheaper than Explorker2 which, when all was said and done, was around $135,000 CAD. Because our intention with Explorker2 is to live in it full time within the next year, we wanted to transform the space by making it feel like ours. Just ...

Especially when you’re sure as sure can be ...

Securing stuff in the cupboards of our Thor Gemini 23tr

We have been exploring Alberta and Montana in our new Thor Gemini 23tr for a few weeks now. The first two lessons we learned was that plates slide around and loose cutlery is extremely annoying. I addressed those by building a holder for plates and using cube foam to give the cutlery a home. The ...

First Adventure, McClean Creek

Our camping setup... first time out, so you can see we really cared about how it looked. Fast forward a year, and we never EVER setup the table. Look familiar? I'd camped at McClean Creek for years when I was a kid, but when the camping center was on a season of Fargo, ...
