Texas and Tombstone

Ahhh, Texas...what a diverse state. We've spent time in:

• Livingston (the Escapees mecca)
• South Padre Island
• Mission
• Marathon
• Paris
• Dallas - Museum of Fligh
• Dallas area - Audie Murphy Museum
• Flint
• Pharr where the BRAT Rack was made
• Victoria (with the neatest Harley dealer)

There is still a lot of Texas to see...we'd especially like to stay in the Hill Country area and get in some riding there.

Solar and Scuba

Solar, the sun and harnessing its power. What a perfect thing for RVers. I got my solar system after my first Quartzsite visit and after boondocking there, Stu decided to do the same. Here are the posts about our installations and our setups.

• Donna - installation in Class C
• Donna - final setup
• Stu - installation in 41' 5th wheel (their largest install)
• Stu - final setup

BONUS: Scuba

Repairs and Redwoods

Living on the road doesn't mean real life goes away. Repairs on our rolling homes can come more frequently, think of it as driving your house through an earthquake and a hurricane...every time you drive down the highway. Things break plus there is always some sort of scheduled maintenance to be done.

I am so lucky to be married to someone who has good mechanical skills and who isn't afraid to tackle some pretty nasty roadside repairs. We've survived the following replacements/repairs:

• Serpentine belt
• Water pump and A/C belt
• Broken shackles
• Broken brake line due to broken shackles
• Tire blow out due to frozen wheel bearing
• Tire blow out due to ???
• Torn electrical and propane lines due to tire blow out
• Another broken brake line
• Radiator hose
• Fuel filter leak
