Our Latest Travel Posts
Here is a complete look at some of our favorite stops, itineraries, resorts, and more.
Solitude 310GKR Tour
Embark on an extraordinary tour of our Solitude 310GK-R. Join us for an exclusive glimpse into our YouTube video, showcasing the remarkable upgrades and lifestyle offered by our Solitude 310. The path to finding our dream RV begins right here, with Deloris our Solitude 310GK-R. Over the past three years, we have worked diligently on upgrades that would enhance the RVing experience.
Past Itineraries
I have flushed out our itineraries with RV park reviews, attractions, nearby restaurants, and our favorite sites.
Soaring Diesel Prices RV Travel
Soaring Diesel fuel prices have forced us to reevaluate our travel during the summer months. We had a rather ambitious itinerary that would take us from Nashville to Jasper, Canada. This featured numerous National Parks and sites along the way and covered almost 6,000 miles. We scraped that after a year of planning and focused on local short hops.
NRVTA Experience
I’m sure you have seen those National RV Training Academy posts in your Facebook feed. You may be following Todd Henson’s “Tech Tip Tuesdays” on YouTube. Are you wondering if these classes are a good fit for you?
Would you like a review from a Do-It-Yourselfer like yourself? I am a recent graduate and have been Certified as an RVTAA Registered Technician. I have put together an overview that I think you will find informative. I would highly recommend the Fundamentals course if you are a new RV owner or for that matter, a vet of sorts like me.

MORryde IS Upgrade
Five plus years of OEM suspension on our Open Range Roamer tested every inch of that RV. Many times described as an earthquake happening on wheels, we can attest to that. We took painstaking efforts to tie down, brace, or lock in items we thought would be displaced. Trip after trip we would find something ajar, broken, or lying on the floor. My first fix on the old rig was to replace the suspension with the MORryde SRE 4000 suspension system. That helped a bit but I knew there was another answer.
DC Move In
The primary reason we purchased the RV was to visit with family. The secondary reason is to be on call when we are needed. We were needed in Ft. Belvoir, VA to help with a move to a new Military assignment for our Son-In-Law, Daughter, and grandson. It had been some time since we visited the east coast. We lived in NYC for several years during our working days. We knew this was not going to be a budget visit, nor would it be a pleasure to drive in our 35″ Grand Design Solitude 310GK-R in that traffic.
Gold Star RV Resorts
These RV parks met or exceeded our expectations based on our style of camping. If your style demands, friendly staff, great facilities, level sites, superior infrastructure including power and wi-fi these are for you,
Cherry Hill Park
Camping in a large metro area always seems like a crape shoot. You are either in a small cramped space with very little green space or the entire park is concrete or blacktop it seems. Typically the rates are high for this precious space. We were not sure what to expect when we arrived at this RV Park. The rates were high, running a little over $105 a night for a premium pull-through. We were pleasantly surprised when we pulled into this location
North Myrtle Beach RV Resort
Updated – April 25, 2021 – New Construction – We have always loved the shoreline of South Carolina near the NC border. We spent many a summer at Holden Beach, NC renting an oceanside home. The crowds you find in Myrtle Beach are not there. It’s quiet, great beaches and there is plenty of fresh seafood. We wanted to find something similar in an RV park.
LazyDays KOA
I do not believe that we will ever find another KOA like this. We had our reservations about staying in this location. Reviews were mixed ranging from outstanding to concerns about its inner-city location. Rest assured from our perspective this is one of the finest KOA’s we have ever stayed at. Snowbirds take note, you could not ask for a better location to spend time away from the cold temps and snow of the north.
Route 66 RV Resort
This was our second stay at this RV park. The first was a rather chaotic stop with battery issues etc. This stop gave us much more time to check out this first-class RV resort. Located on the west side of Albuquerque, NM conveniently off I40 this is the perfect location for short or long term stays. The campground is situated behind the Route 66 Casino and within walking distance or quick free shuttle door to door.
Travel Gallery
As we closed out 2021, my newfound RV repair and upgrade confidence was at an all-time high. I took on an RV power grid upgrade adding solar to our rig. The install went as planned and is working flawlessly. We had penned in an appointment with MorRyde to upgrade our suspension in April of 2022. We got a call in early September asking if we wanted to have this done sooner. We jumped at the chance. 2022 started a bit slow due to health issues involving my knees. This called for some injections therapy and time to rehab a bit. We started our 2022 season with an itinerary I called Spring Flowers. This took us to Washington, DC, Myrtle Beach, and the southern Smokie Mountains. Fuel pricing has us making shorter hopes at the moment. We discovered Anchor Downs in east TN and loved our stay. Here are a few new shots.
