After buying the Allegro in late June, we did a couple of weekend trips in July and August.

It’s now September and we’re on our first long trip - 8 days, 1200 miles. Austin’s to Monahans Sandhills State Park, down to Maverick RV Resort between Big Bend National and State Parks, and then heading home with a stop at Kickapoo Caverns State Park.

First leg of the trip went well enough. Avoided interstates by taking Texas highways out to Midland, and then hopped on I-20...

We're Mike and Kat, and we go by Redwolf Journeys.

We bought our first RV 20 years ago in 2000 - a Coleman (Fleetwood) Utah popup. Bought it used and sold it 6 years later for the same price we paid for it.

in '06 we bought our second RV - a new Jayco 28FKS, which required a truck upgrade to pull it. 1200 lbs empty on the hitch, because the kitchen was in front. We traded in our '98 Ram V8 for an '02 Ram 2500 diesel.

In March of 2014 we got caught...

The shop was able to get her cranked up and pulled into the shop (Phillips Auto Group). They’re looking her over now. But the service guy did mention it could take them until next week to look it over. I just miss her and ready to go on to the next steps of restoring her. Trying my best to be patient

Should I repaint it the same color? What do you think about all the blue lines being pink and the background white?

My motorhome is at the shop, and I am missing her. Impatiently waiting on the RV service shop.

The year of the vogue motorhome is 1984, not 85. So if anyone knows anything about 1984 Vogue 2 , please comment below. The motorhome is currently still at the RV service shop. I will be giving them a call Monday.

Here are some pics of my babe I have not decided on a name for her yet. Any ideas?

I started on my Vogue 2 Motorhome Renovation. It has been a journey getting here, but I'm grateful she made it in one piece! You are more than welcome to follow me on my journey to restore this classic.

Wish me luck and energy!

Decided to sell my house and move full-time into a fairly new Travel Trailer, so in November of 2019, I finally did that.

I thought it would take a couple of months on the market before it sold but I got a full offer within a week and they wanted to move in right away! I really had to scramble to get all of my 3 bedroom house and two sheds into storage units (plural)! My niece and her boyfriend came to help me and I swear I don't know how we accomplished all that but we did! ...

New Mexico: Where Everybody is Somebody

Like almost everyplace in the US, the Chicago area shut down in early March. By May we were getting pretty stir crazy, so of course we decided on the perfect, safe solution: Road Trip!



We threw a mental dart at the map and it landed on New Mexico. Having heard good things about the state parks...

Reasonably Priced Unlimited Internet via 4G/LTE -- 07/10/2020


Real-Deal WiFi for RVers

We travel in our RV 4-5 months per year, and when we are on the road we want online access services similar to what we enjoy at home. Who wouldn't?



These are the services we need:

• General internet access for email, news, social media, travel planning, etc.
• Streaming

We decided to take our first little excursion to try output our motor home. Just a short trip to Biloxi, Mississippi. Majestic Oaks, a nice quite park with all the expected amenities. We got set up easily enough and things went well for a couple hours until all of the 110 power went out. I’m pretty handy and realized that it was probably just a breaker that clicked off. I searched everywhere for breakers. Inside outside, all the storage bins. I could not find them anywhere. My wife pointed out a...

Well, I bought my first Motor Home a real nice used 2007 Winnebago Spirit. It only had 25,000 miles on it and had not been used much in a while. I was super excited to get on my way back home to Mobile Alabama from Waynesboro Mississippi. Everything's going great the motor home is running good, transmission working just as it should. BANG BANG! What the crap is that loud noise. Sounds the tires just exploded. Well one of them kind of did. The tread started coming off the tire. I stopped and checked...

Update: Wet Bay Woes -- 06/10/2020


Our trip out west has been great so far.

Oh Cr@p, It's Leaking!

Great, that is, until we discovered our recently rehabbed wet bay had sprung a leak.

We have been staying at full-hookup parks en route, so there really wasn't much call to fill the onboard water tank. When starting out, it was only loaded with several gallons, just enough to flush the toilet and wash hands.
