:o Okay....it's been a while.....uh, years, in fact, but today we managed to drag our 2008 Big Horn through the mud back onto the road for the first time in.....5 years. It was exhilarating to drive down the Alaskan Highway and watch it heading on down the road in front of me. My cowboy was...

Greetings & Blessings from Alaska! After 2 1/2 years of looking at the interior of our "Nest", I've finally worked up the courage to make it my OWN space. :eek: Part of my motivation is in my efforts to do all that I can to keep us as warm as possible during the winter and the other part...

:cool: :cool: Wow! New smilies......I like it. Hi Ya'll It's been a while since I've been on-line and a lot has happened since I was last on. Our latest news is that we're planning on "wintering" in Alaska...........:eek: We've been working on doing a whole lot of "things" to keep warm...

Greetings from Alaska! I'm not sure where the best place to post this info is, but this seemed like a good place to start. I'm working on our blog posts to detail our trip from southwest Georgia to Alaska, but our Verizon connection is slow here so it's going to take some time. BIG HORN...

:cool: While traveling across the border, we had an unexpected and unexplainable need for an emergency repair. The cable from our Big Horn hitch that plugs into the truck to provide lights, flashers, BRAKES!, etc. was completely ripped apart with all of the wires hanging onto the ground. I...

WARNING: This post may offend a few people! :p (However, as DH likes to say, "If the shoe fits.............) :cool: I'd like to preface this by saying that we've only been "full-timing" since June '09 and I know that a lot of you have been "on the road" a lot longer and seen a whole lot more...

:angel: Part of the allure of the RV life is getting "off the beaten path". However, our dependence on water, sewer and electric make for a very different kind of "reality" as anyone familiar with cold nights or cold showers (without an electric hook-up) or hauling water around in jugs (for...

:cool: We did it! We have probably spent a small fortune on bags of ice since we went full-time back in '09. At least half of my freezer space is usually jammed with as big a bag of ice as I can fit in. Ice is something that I've never learned to live without. DH has more than once...

During our stay as volunteers/workkampers at the Escapee's Care Center in Livingston, we were introduced to the fun of Wii bowling. Their set-up involved a giant TV and a basic Wii set-up and starting out with that, we didn't even consider that we would enjoy playing with a Wii in our rig...

:confused: Problem: Sheets won't stay on the bed. Now I know this sounds like a silly little problem, but as anyone that has made a king size bed in the tight quarters of their Big Horn bedroom with various items that tend to "live" alongside the bed (i.e. laundry basket, extra blankets...

Hey Guys! I've been putting this off, putting this off, and waiting for "global warming" to kick in and hopefully solve this problem. :o Sadly, we're dead on the ground sitting here in an RV park facing another expensive service call for another jump start. I've been over every...

Hi Guys! ;) We have suddenly developed a very scary electrical problem with our pick-up. We're in Birmingham, AL and have the truck with a private mechanic, but after 2 days, he can't find the source of our problem. I'm searching on the internet truck forums, but so far, no luck. Here's the...

Hi Ya! :confused: Today we planned to hit the road early (for us!) and things did not go as usual. In fact, things went horribly wrong and I'm not sure how to explain this fully. I'm hoping for some direction on this, but I fear that this means another trip back to the shop again. :( DH...

:D Hi Ya'll! As we were heading south on I-35, we pulled into the "Flying J" in Waco, TX. (We were thinking of spending the night there but it was too early to stop. :p) Hadn't been there too long when a "Transporter" pulled in next to us with a bug-splotted, brand spanking new, 2010 Big...

♫♪ "Heading down that long highway........." :) Just wondering :confused:............ when we're on the road with a destination and a schedule, we like to "overnight" at "Wally World's" or if necessary "Flying J's". We don't pop the sliders or drop our "feet" or anything like that. We...

Wow! My favorite font and it's in color - too cool! I like this forum upgrade so far. :rolleyes: As we near the end of our first year of ownership of our "Nest", we seem to be developing a more and more intimate lighting system throughout our rig. It seems the light bulbs are on some kind...

Greetings from Hondo, TX. :cool: It seems like our "Nest" has a secret life as a "money pit". We're constantly having to decide between repairs.....maintenance......or upgrades! :confused: If there's not something that needs to be fixed, then it must be time for some kind of maintenance...

Greetings from Somewhere over the Rainbow! I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Surge Guard RV power protection devices. I'm looking for an easy way to check for problems with shore power before hooking up. I've read several warnings about miswired pedestals and faulty grounds...

:angel: This is a special recipe that DannyLee and I love to share on those nights when firing up the grill or anything more than a single pan is just too complicated. The name "Just Us" Pas-tus come from a private joke related to a graphic we have on our door to welcome visitors. Being a...

While bikes are not mandatory accessories for the backs of RV's, quite of few RVer's do seem to have at least one dangling from either a bonafide bike rack or somehow bungie-corded to the ladder on the back. Though neither DannyLee or I can claim to be avid bike riders since we managed to...

I was thinking about starting a thread about interesting problems/dilemmas that have happened to people while traveling. I'm sure this problem falls into some category called "Weird problems". The solution that I'm looking at is to replace all of the cabinet knobs with single piece knobs...

Greetings! We have a 2008 Big Horn that needs some repair work done. We had a tire come apart on us in IL and it did considerable damage (of course ;)). Fortunately, we were a couple of miles from a tire shop that was able to get us back on the road quickly. They tried to help with the...

HiYa! I'm not exactly sure how this forum works, but I'm willing to jump in "feet-first" and learn. :) Please don't beat me up for being "stupid". I have gone through the manuals many times and some things just don't appear to be all that obvious. Can anyone tell me how to get the cover off...
