Here is a complete look at some of our favorite stops, itineraries, resorts, and more.
RV Arrives
The manufactures were having difficulty keeping up with demand. Undaunted, we forged ahead with our plans and made our purchase decision. Now for our final installment in this series. After the promised, 10-12 week build schedule our Grand Design Solitude 310GK-R has arrived in Cookeville, TN. Here are the details of the delivery, PDI, and our Shakedown run.
Past Itineraries
I have flushed out our itineraries with RV park reviews, attractions, nearby restaurants, and our favorite sites.
RV For Sale
Welcome to Part 2 of this four-part series of posts featuring our attempts to find a new rig. In our first post, New RV Search we ran down the reasons we wanted to make the move. We also found out that the journey was going to be a rocky road. The surge of RV sales brought on by COVID-19 diminished inventories at the dealerships. The manufactures were having difficulty keeping up with demand. Undaunted, we forged ahead with our plans.
New RV Search
What are we thinking, it’s a seller’s market out there? You can not find strong inventories of RV’s on any dealers lot. If your looking for a particular rig, size, or brand, good luck. Discounting is at an all-time low, rigs are flying off the lots. Throw in a pandemic and you might as well stay home and enjoy your own rig. The did not deter Ginny or me from heading online to see what we could find. I thought I would chronicle our efforts and walk you through our entire experience.
Homebase Downtime
As this pandemic continues to raise its ugly head, we have decided to hunker down at our Homebase. This frankly provided me with an opportunity for a handful of projects that I wanted to get prior to our next outing. Our last outing took us to Las Cruces, NM where the rig took a good beating from the heat and high winds. Throw in a little tumbleweed, ants, and various other debris and I had my hands full.
Homeward Bound
After spending a little over 14 days in Las Cruces visiting family in El Paso it was time for us to head back to TN. As we watched the spread of the virus inundate Arizona, Texas, and a number of southern states we decided to head directly home. Noticing posts from a number of you regarding crowed campground to the north our plans to head to Colorado then Wyoming east through South Dakota just seemed out of the question.

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.
