Just got this 1980 Westfalia, "Daisy" slept in it our first night this weekend! Mostly for local overnight trips, we drove 75 miles down to the board game convention and then back the next evening. Hoping as I get more comfortable with knowing how to fix everything we can get further away from...

Yes that was the Scout 12, the Ranger 12 is the same size but has the water pump/tanks, gas stove (and microwave) and I did not want those extra items / no need to winterize without the tank and water pump. The folks that used it just before me was similar sized family and they camped in it...

Mesa Verde Mesa Verde National Park is in SW Colorado and for us this was close to all of the attractions we were interested in which mostly was riding on the Durango Silverton Railroad which I will cover more in depth in the next chapter. If you are not already familiar with Mesa Verde...

I was pretty happy with it, I originally purchased it for use around town, 99% of my wife's driving was under 20 miles so with the Level 2 charger, we had some "tanks" of gas where we got 50+ mpg because most of her driving was electric only. Once I started driving it on a regular basis, the...

Grand Canyon Part II Once Tanner’s parents headed off towards home, we spent the next day or two relaxing and then no story of ours would be complete without some mention of trains right? https://www.thetrain.com/ I think it is pretty significant that their website domain is THE train, as...

Grand Canyon - Part 1 Ok this is the BIG ONE! I have to tell you, if you are planning a road trip of “canyons” once you have been here it is hard to impress a teenager afterwards, no matter how deep Gunnison is or varied the colors of the Badlands. I mentioned the road trip when I was 15 with...

Sedona is drop dead gorgeous and I cannot recommend it enough as a place to visit when you are nearby. The town is full of contradictions with Pink Jeeps parked next door to Ferraris. Our campsite here at Rancho Sedona RV park was our most expensive of the trip at nearly $100 per night. The...

Great report, looking forward to reading more, hoping to be down that way myself in the next year or so!

Petrified Forest National Park If you are traveling westbound on Interstate 40 in Arizona, you will want to take exit 311 to visit the Petrified Forest National Park. This is actually part of the Painted Desert region that stretches 150 miles from the NE corner of Arizona all the way to the...

https://star-mountsystems.com/ My Starlink was the 2nd generation, I sent it to these folks and they modified it for me, cut down and installed in their 3d printed looking box. I got the dark / grey material for my plexi glass, in hindsight that probably ends up getting warmer than the...

New Mexico Soon after crossing the state line into New Mexico you should look for exit 369 and take some time to swing into Russel’s Truck & Travel Center. This is by far the coolest place we stopped for fuel on our entire 8000 miles! (Sorry Buc-ees!) https://www.russellsttc.com/ Tanner and...

I really think it is a hidden gem and is "something different" from a lot of other parks in the state! I lived in OK two years, 1985ish and 1990 and really love the diversity of the state from the trees and hills on the eastern side to the vast openess on the western end.

Thank you, love your rides, the 2500 and the new ZR2 are really sweet choices.

Really cool I had never heard of that, I just looked it up and put on my TO DO list!!!

Silverton to Durango (Million dollar highway) was INCREDIBLE and at some point I am going to spend a lot more time there on all those open trails and boondocking destinations. Great pics.

Ha! Not sure the teenage boy could have handled 'too many' more musicals but it is on the list for the future with my wife!!

Welcome to Texas! So our next destination is Palo Duro Canyon. When we arrived in early June 2023, they had just gone through a heavy rain season and most of the canyon was closed off due to flooding. There was just a single campground near the entrance that was still open and they switched my...

Arkansas to Oklahoma Our next day we drove into Hinton Oklahoma to our first of many “canyons” for this trip. Red Rock Canyon State park is a really great stop and they have showers which are paid for with quarters and camping inside the canyon itself is a neat experience. I would not recommend...

Incredible trip report, LOVED the pictures and was riding right along with you as I hit many of those same locations in 2023. I clicked over and subscribed to your YT channel, looking forward to watching the reports there. Hoping that you are on the journey back to health. I remember your...
