For visiting Roadtreking friends and to warm and power up my own rig, I’ve added a 30 amp driveway hookup. Brandon from Brachter Electric did the install, in 15-degree Fahrenheit temperatures. He used a power drill to get a pole in the ground and mounted the hookup box. We’ll bury the cable come spring thaw. […]
A lot of weird things happen out there on the road and there also is some great scenery. So I'm now making a record of it all with a dashboard camera (dash cam). A dash cam was the very first accessory I bought and installed in our new Roadtrek CS Adventurous XL and now that […]Read More
One of the things we love about our Roadtrek is the large dinette. Our friend's 37-foot Class A motorhome can barely seat four people at the table of the RV. And that's average-sized adults!

The Roadtreking RV Podcast now has a mobile studio: Our Roadtrek Class B RV. Forgive me if this is too technical. If it is, just pass on by. I'm writing this and showing the accompanying video by request, from some of my Roadtreking RV Podcast listeners and from several other podcasters, who wanted to see […]Read More
RVers encounter some pretty nasty stuff. Dumping those grey and black tanks. Campground and rest area bathrooms. Dirty firepits. Road grime on doors and latches. Some yucky stuff can live in those places. Bacteria. Viruses. Spores. Germs. Microorganisms. They have all sure been in the news lately. And while not all of them can make […]Read More
It’s cold here in Kansas City. So I’m inside the house, decluttering drawers and closets, working on overdue projects, catching up on TV shows and surfing the web. Recently, I came across a great site called Dornob and do they have some neat-o designs!!!! Some of these are probably useful for the trendy RVer, and […]Read More
