OUPES 1100W Portable Power Station
We have been on the lookout for a portable power station that will give us the ability run appliances inside our 5th wheel when we stop for lunch midway in our travels or if we have an overnight stop at a rest stop or Walmart. We don’t have solar or a large battery...
Big Blue Power Station and Solar Panel
We have been looking for a solution allowing us to use low wattage power devices when we travel long distances. There are times when we travel 800 to 1,000 mile stretches and may not have the opportunity of an overnight campground with power connections. The result, a...
Installing Bilstein 4600 Shocks
We’re installing Bilstein 4600 Shocks on our one-ton dually. We were looking for a much improved ride in our F-350 Ford Truck. Let’s face it – these large one-ton trucks, regardless or make or model, are designed as work trucks and made to haul thousands of pounds. As...
How to replace a RV propane detector
There always seems to be something that needs to be worked on in an RV. Some tasks are simple, others may take more effort. Something often overlooked is replacing an out of date RV propane detector. Most propane detector manufacturers specify replacement at five...
Towing with the Hensley TrailerSaver Hitch
Towing a 5th wheel can have its challenges. There’s the length and weight of the 5th wheel, how much truck is needed, and once these issues are address, the type of 5th wheel hitch to use. We started towing on the low end of cost with our first hitch. A huge mistake!...
Add USB AC Outlets to Your RV Plus That Other Thing
Traveling in any RV that is several years old, you miss out on the opportunity to have some of the more modern conveniences found in newer models. This becomes obvious if your travels are similar to mine and Joan’s either as a full timer or long timer spending months...
External MIMO Antenna for the MoFi 4500
Mixing RV travel and work while on the road can be challenging, but there are big upsides as well. There are very few opportunities where one can see all the great places RV travel offers while your office is steps away from beautiful scenery and amazing places to...

Camper Skylight Replacement and Roof Repair
Well it’s happened again. Our camper skylight cracked. It not only cracked, but water leaked into the ceiling and created quite the mess. And this isn’t our first time at this rodeo. This is the second time our camper skylight has cracked. Fortunately the task isn’t...
RV Internet with the MoFi 4500
We’re making another upgrade to our RV workspace; this time it’s adding RV Internet with the MoFi 4500. Most who travel in an RV can easily work and have time left over to see the sites. There are a few necessities for the RV workspace – comfortable work area, a...
RV Computer Desk – Custom RV Workspace
An RV computer desk is an essential need for our RV travel. I work on the road and need both a comfortable as well as functional RV workspace. Our needs are not unusual for the working RV traveler – space for documents, keyboard, mouse and multiple monitors. I also...
EPOARTIST Camper Wheel Chock Stabilizer
One of the annoyances often experienced with RV’s is the movement when walking around the camper. This can be amplified if you have a 5th wheel and you experience the shake when someone goes up and down the steps going to the upper section over the tow pin. Using a...
Installing the Haloview Handy 7 RV Backup Camera
Backup cameras are a great tool for any RV. A backup camera provides a view of the back of the RV so the driver can see obstacles when backing into a camping spot or negotiating a parking lot. Another added benefit is having a view of traffic behind the RV when...
Replacing An RV Refrigerator
After 6 years of heavy RV travel, it was time to replace our RV refrigerator. Our current unit was getting a little beat up inside from all the bumpy roads, plus the compressor was making a strange noise when starting up. We took the latter as a sign the refrigerator...
