A while ago we were really nervous that we were going to be over the weight ratings for our RV but then we found a solution. In order to meet the manufacturer’s weight ratings, we needed to have a transmission cooler and we needed to upgrade the springs. In that post I said, “If I can do all the… Read More Air Spring Install
I will never complain about moving furniture again. Even a giant bookcase full of books is simple to move compared to moving furniture in an RV. We’ve mentioned some of our plans for how we wanted to re-arrange things in the RV and we had some other plans that we hadn’t fully fleshed out yet. For… Read More Changing the Layout
Tuesday Denver was supposed to get around 10 inches of snow so we decided to take a snow day from work and go to Winter Park to ski. I brought my old GoPro and put together a video. I’m still working on the right settings for de-shaking it so some clips look much better than… Read More Winter Park Weekday
Normally the back room in our house isn’t a very useful room. In fact it usually just causes a lot of frustration. But not anymore. Now it is the home of my not-so-secret lab… Read More The Lab

I know this isn’t RV related, but it was a fairly adventurous thing we did and right now is the time to get your own pass. I’ll also admit that we’re probably not going to be flying as much once we’re in the RV so we want all of our friends and family to fly… Read More The Southwest Companion Pass is Awesome!
This is going to be a big project and I’m totally going to nerd out about most aspects of it so I’m going to break it up into a few parts. In this post I’m going to try really hard to keep very high level. Hopefully Allison can even read this and know what I’m talking… Read More RV Solar – Overview
And we’re back. I haven’t actually weighed the thing yet but I finally figured out the stupid owners manual and things aren’t as bad as I thought. Basically the 1989 Ford Econoline owners manual was really unclear. What do you think this page means: I’ll give you a hint, we have the 7.5L engine and… Read More Weight Problems – Solved
So we hit our first semi-major snag in the plan, we want to carry more than this RV can carry. So let’s start with what the plan was. We wanted to be able to drive around more efficiently than the 10MPG that the motorhome gets and we didn’t want to need to pack up the motor… Read More Weight Problems
