Selecting the correct generator is a fairly easy process once you know how much power you're in need of. We did a lot of research before finally pulling the trigger on our generator, so I figured I'd share a few pointers. I was advised to only purchase an inverter generator and I'd second this as…

Finally Settled…
It took us a few weeks but we're finally settled. What seemed like forever, a gradual process of removing items from our apartment and into the trailer finally culminated in large pile of items in our living room that we did not need. A bit of trash, a bit of Goodwill, more trash, some storage,…
The Power Struggle
Solving the Power Problem One week in and we've finally gotten a hold of this power situation... There is nothing worse than returning to a home with no power. This is how we felt with our trailer for first week of owning it. The fridge was always off when we returned from a day trip, and things were beginning…
Annnnd We’re Off…
Day 1 of Our Adventure Finished up some paperwork at the dealership, went through our RV/trailer walk-through, and off we went...

As first time trailer owners - going too big is a concern. The conundrum there is we're looking to live in this trailer for months out…
We Found Our Tow Vehicle
Finally Selected Our Tow Vehicle..... Selecting the right tow vehicle has been a difficult process. Almost as complicated as selecting the trailer itself. We're not able to invest unlimited amounts of money into the tow vehicle either, which made selecting wisely rather critical. This is a high-pressure purchase because there's little margin for error. We really need to avoid…
Deciding On The Perfect Travel Trailer
A Maze of Options We have finally decided on a travel trailer over an RV. Now, it's a question of which brand, which model, what size, and all the rest. The options seem endless when it comes to selecting a trailer. If you read my previous article regarding our encounter with the RV/travel trailer salesman,…
Travel Trailer or RV?
Deciding on the Best Route We're in the planning stages of this RV life scenario. Naturally, I decided to drive around and take a peek at a few used RV's in our local area. At our 3rd stop the salesman insisted we didn't want an RV. He proceeded to explain that a travel trailer was absolutely the way to go.…
