If you want to survive living in a 40 foot house on wheels, you have to have some rules! You will also have some stories to tell.

Remembering Elkhart

This is the story I wrote back in 2010, about that trip the four of us, five if you count Nicholas, our Cocker Spaniel, took together to Elkhart, Indiana.

Rules for owning a motor coach, number one

"What's it like owning a 38 foot long motor coach?"

I was asked that question the first time a few years ago. I had to stop and think for a minute or two.

Rules for owning a motor coach, number two

Number 2: Keep your temper on a very short leash. Or, when owning a motor coach, patience is not only a virtue but a necessity.

Rules for owning a motor coach, number three

You know the old saying; it's the Journey not the Destination.

Rules for owning a motor coach, number four

number 4. Owning a motorcoach is a never ending learning experience.

And just when you think you know it all, you find out just how stupid you really are.

Tips and Hints (Rule number 4)

Over the last ten years, Diane and I have learned, discovered, or otherwise stumbled upon a few things that have helped us during our adventures on the road.

Rules for owning a motor coach, number 4 continued

Well, I had so much fun coming up with a list of things that I have learned over the ten years that my wife and I have been motorhoming, I figured why not write down a few more?

Don't Forget to Laugh ( this is also rule number five)

You must be able to laugh even if it kills you.

Rule Number 4, continued again.....

I feel the uge to post more of my Rules for Owning a Motor Coach, number 4, truisms.

The It's A Wonderful Life Rally

Let me tell you all something. I gave this rally a lot of thought about how we could make it special. I really wanted all our friends who attended to have more than a good time. I wanted them to feel something while there. I wanted them to feel close to their other members. I intended for this rally to use the Christmas season and the It’s a Wonderful Life story to reinforce the need for friends and family.

There Be Dragons! (and other stories)

The majority of us live our lives somewhere in between the sweet life and the habitation of dragons. We come into this world empty headed (and that is a good thing) and as we grow we learn that life has its pleasures and its pains.

Not So Good Coach Moments

We have all had them, those moments when we are so overjoyed to be motorhome owners and those other moments, the ones where you take a deep breath and ask yourself:

"Why did I ever buy this big blasted thing?"

Don't Cry Over Spilt Soup!

Some of my dear readers and friends have heard or read this story before. However, many people keep asking me about it. Its short, not so sweet, but mildly amusing in a "can't believe that happened" sort of way.

Practicing Rule Number 2

Rule number 2, to be exact: Keep your temper on a very short leash. Or, when owning a motor coach, patience is not only a virtue but a necessity.

LIVING SMALL (Updated)

LIving Small........Less House, More Life!

My Rules for Full Timing in a Motorhome.

Fulltimers

Diane and I are living full time in our Motor Home. It did not happen the way we planned it or hoped it would...the transition from part time to full time has happened but it was rough.

Depreciation?

This subject pops up every now and then in the Internet forums where I hang about on a regular basis. It may be a post titled "Is your Class A a Money pit?" or "A motor home costs a whole lot more than you think it does!"

How Did It Start? part 2

A bit of background and a few observations about the motohoming-rving lifestyle before I continue with my story, you don't mind do you?

Diane and I camped in a tent for 30 years before making the huge jump to a motorhome. There was no step in between.

How Did It Start? part 1

All of us have our own story about how we ended up owning a motorhome company or, like most of us, just owning a motorhome.

This is my story.

SIGNS!

I believe that there are signs that we should pay attention to that will help us in our day to day lives, on and off the road, from getting into trouble.

More Coach Tips and Hints

Just a few more hints to help improve your motorhoming experience.

Don't Forget to Laugh....some more

I promised some RV stories. Well I found a few. I doubt they are true, but they may bring a smile.
