I'm not a full-timer. Call me... a half-timer. I'm an avid lover of going camping and traveling in our Holiday Rambler Vacationer motorhome. We can do that due to my work at Blog Marketing Academy.

Our Agenda For Our Summer Trip 2018
We’re about to embark on our longest RV trip yet. Here’s the plan…
Continue readingReflooring the RV: The Summary, The Costs, And… Was It Worth The Work?
While I still have some things to do for our remodeling, I am at a point where I can call this reflooring project essentially complete. So, I thought I’d make a nice wrap up post here. How much did I end up spending on the job? How long did it take? And… am I happy […]
Continue readingReflooring the RV: The Completion!
In the final video in this series on reflooring the RV, we bring the project to a close. After installing the carpeting, I still had some things to do to wrap things up. Namely… Install quarter round trim around the edges of the vinyl plank flooring. Install transition pieces at the end of the carpet […]

Reflooring the RV: Installing New Carpeting
The next phase in our reflooring project was to install the new carpet. Unfortunately, I had a deadline pending (a campground reservation) and I really had to finish this project. So, I just buckled down and did it and didn’t record any video. I did, however, take some photos! So, I’m going to now walk […]

Once I had all the vinyl planks installed, it was time to install carpeting in the front cockpit and the rear. However, before I do that, I wanted to take the opportunity to put some additional sound dampening up front. This is just a nice little upgrade to do while there’s no floor in there. […]

Reader’s Note: It has been over a month since my last update on my reflooring project. I had a few people email me asking what happened. 🙂 I had to rush a bit to finish the job for a camping reservation, so I ended up busting it out without worrying too much about recording videos. […]
Continue readingMy Cruise Control Stopped Working! Here’s How I Fixed It (Workhorse Chassis)
My motorhome rides on a Workhorse W22 chassis. I honestly don’t know if what I’m about to say applies to other chassises. It may. You’ll need to do your own research. I first noticed the issue while driving on a bumpy road up in Canada between Montreal and Quebec City. I went to engage the […]
Continue readingFixing The Vibrating Dryer! Splendide Washer/Dryer Combo Shakes Like Crazy.
Our rig came with a Splendide 2000 WD802M washer/dryer combo. Which is great since my wife was always tired of carting loads of laundry around the campground and finding rolls of quarters for the machines. 🙂 It’s a decent machine. Splendide has a newer model, but this is the one we have. I think even […]

Reflooring: Repairing Subfloor Rot – Part 2 (And Done!)
In the last installment, I covered my process for removing and repairing the sections of rotted subfloor. So, the next day, I went ahead and finished the job. My goal was to complete all subfloor prep and have the rig ready to accept the new flooring. So, the first thing I did was to finish […]
Continue readingReflooring: Repairing Subfloor Rot – Part 1
At this point in my reflooring project, it was time to repair some rot spots on the subfloor. The problem wasn’t too bad. It was mainly in a few spots along the edge near the walls. Namely… Passenger side, front. There was a leak issue with this rig with the previous owner. I think the […]
