When I had my truck and camper I had a set of the standard steps. I worked on those for years to keep them tight and stable. Then one day I was at an RV dealer and they had a set of Torklift steps in stock that they ordered by mistake. I bought them and put them on my truck and WOW talk about...

I bought mine from a trucking supply company. A LOT better price than camping places and many of the camping places do not carry this model. The kit is nice but honestly I don't think it is needed, I cut the wood around mine and I am happy. My blog...

I have the CRX65. Only had it for a short time but so far LOVE it. Was out this past weekend and from a full battery using it during the night the battery did not even drop from a standard overnight sitting with no draw. It was a cool night so that may vary. Cools fast, LOVE the pull out...

No not 4wd. I had thought of it but honestly I do not plan on going that off road. I still have a 19' Class C if I need to "camp", but I hate camping to often as staying on one place is boring for me. I do love the look of so many expedition vehicles, but when you see them parked at Walmart...

Thanks, Writing on Stone is a cool place to go. I like it so much better without people :D

Here are some more updates that I have gotten done over the last week. http://www.firstchoicephoto.ca/blog/more-finsihing-white-turtle-iii

I have the KO2's on my Ford Transit van and before that had them with my truck and camper. LOVE the extra traction that they give you!! As for noise I am a VERY sensitive person to any noise in the vehicle and I can say the noise is not noticeable at any speed. At higher speed you have a...

So my son and I went on a little drive this last Saturday. When we stopped for gas my son mentioned that there was free weigh scales at the station so thought after fueling up we would get some numbers. So the numbers are with me and my son. Full fuel. Tandem inflatable Kayak. Fridge full of...

I looked for a while for an Astro (Safari) but with no luck in finding one that should not already have been in the scrap yard. Would see ads like "low mileage & great shape" and find out it was 500,000KM and the inside was so worn that it was beyond horrible, would not even look at the engine...

Calculated the MPG on the last trip and got 17.1mpg.

Well I got out for another day trip! https://www.firstchoicephoto.ca/a-trip-to-waterton-white-turtle-iii/

I think most of the warnings are a "better safe than sorry" situation. If you check the labels many things that we put in the fridge do not need to be stored there but we do. If you saw my fridge you would know I am as paranoid as anyone. In the travel world with vehicles getting so hot when...

So with winter slllloooowwwwwwllllyyyy leaving us I thought that I would add some information to what I have learned. First I have not yet spent a night sleeping in the van, between the insane weather and my health I did not want to risk it without having everything done. The heater is still...

Years ago I met two different couples traveling the world that opened my eyes to how much stuff you need to take... The first was a couple traveling by dune buggy around the world. They had VERY little space for anything and were very happy. I asked about food, water, etc and they said that...
