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.

Reflooring: Beginning To Pull The Old Laminate Flooring

Up to this point in the project, the jury was still out on whether I was going to pull the laminate flooring or not. The problem was that I didn’t know how it was attached. If there was a lot of adhesive under there, then pulling it would be a total nightmare and I’d rather…

On my second day working on reflooring our motorhome, I drove the rig home so that I could plug into the electric. Then, I went to town on pulling the carpet up from the rest of the rig. At this point, all the carpet is up except for the doghouse cover, a little section right…

No RV Trip Is Complete Without Something Breaking

No RV Trip Is Complete Without Something Breaking

Motorhomes are reliable. Reliable in that something will break almost every time you take it out on an extended trip. I’ve learned to just roll with it. It used to stress me out, but… why bother? Plus, when you think about it, obviously if something is going to break, it’ll be when you’re out having…

Some didn’t have room. The…

Crossing Creeks RV Resort: A Beautiful Stay In Blairsville [REVIEW]

5 years ago, we had rented a cabin in Blue Ridge, GA. During our stay there, we discovered the little town of Blairsville in northern Georgia. We loved the weather at the time – something my wife always pays a LOT of attention to. 😉 And so, in 2017, we decided to visit Blairsville again….

Pondering The Switch To Full-Time RV Living (Pros & Cons)

I want to make it clear upfront that we are not full-timers. At this point, we don’t plan to. But… Every time we go out on an extended RV trip, we think about it. Almost every time, we end up having that conversation about the potential. There’s really nothing stopping us from doing it. My…
