Just a short post about a long story. These Past 8 or 9 Months… I've learned that I love the trailer but I'm not fond of towing it all around the country. I enjoy the extra creature comforts and added square footage but the trailer comes with more expenses, less simplicity and less flexibly. I… Continue reading The End Of Trailer Life – Another Newish Beginning

How I Do Laundry In The Travel Trailer
When someone learns that laundromats are inaccessible to me they always ask "How do you do laundry if you can't go to the laundromat?!".

After a quick cup… Continue reading Leaving The Homeland – Tales Of A Worthless Brake Controller
