I admit it.. I have a coffee problem! I like it...a lot. I've got MANY ways of brewing a ciup (or 12) in the RV. I've written several articles relating to the perfect cup on the road. Especially when boondocking: https://www.thewanderman.com/2012/12/coffee-how-to-make-best-cup-while.html...

I haul my Helicopter all the time. I travel with the blades removed to reduce stress on the bearings. The blades fit nicely into a box underneath the helicopter. I picked it up in a snow/ice storm in Wisconsin....now that was a trip...

I did a fabric one because of draconian building and tax codes here. https://www.thewanderman.com/2018/11/no-cover-this-winter-i-bought-big.html

I have had my 23'8" Aero Cruiser for 6 Years now and travel quite often. They are rare and finding one with the options you'd need may be tough. it took me well over 1 year to locate mine. I have spent many weeks in it with one and two people along without issue. The holding tanks are pretty...

I just had to chime in on this :) I have been happily tinkering and traveling in my 23' 8" Class A for a bunch of years. Sure, it's a 3/4 scale of the big boys, but really efficient! Rich "The Wanderman"

I love that showerhead! I take it out of the bracket and place on the floor after folding the suction cup bathmat over it. works great, no banging or shifting. There's an article I wrote about it a long while back. go to the link below and search for oxygenics. Rich "The Wanderman"

A While back a wrote an article about my search for a compact propane BBQ grill. Along the way I tried a whole bunch. Some of them, weren't even propane! The one I chose has been working quite nicely for a few years now and sears a steak perfectly! Add some garlic cloves......mmmm mmmm. I've...

The OP asks a great question. There are so many choices both in size/shape/weight and in fuel that it can get complicated to choose the right grill. For some (like me!) space is of major concern. Since I really love BBQ'ing (or grilling) it was very important to pick the right one for my...

As a fellow RV'er and coffee...well...addict. I did a fair bit of research into the different ways of brewing coffee on the road. Since I like to boondock, I had to make sure I could brew no matter what the power source was/is. In fact, a built in coffee maker was a requirement when I was...

Ken,   I am afraid you may be correct. I have been researching State, County and Local parks. Any ones with RV parking tend to be giant clusters similar to a typical RV campground. Not what I am looking for at all. Maybe someone here has some property or a lead on public lands or even a park...

Hi!   Looking for new unimproved lands to camp for 2 or 3 days at a time. Eastern PA, Western CT, Southern MA (Maybe Vermont too!) and Southern and Northern NY Ideally, by a lake or body of water. Not a deal breaker. Looking for NON-Campgrounds only!! Trying for relative isolation :) ONLY...

OK, I admit it. Without a coffee in the morning I am surly and simply not fit to be around! So, you can see why it's critical I get my "fix" in the AM. I carry several methods of brewing coffee around. A while back I wrote an article examining all the types and trying them out. You can read all...

Mounting Solar Panels, especially the heavier aluminum framed glass versions to a roof with VHB is dicey. I have seen it work well on smaller panels and on Aluminum and fiberglass (WELL CLEANED AND PREPPED!!), but I wouldn't trust small pieces of tape to make sure your panels aren't vanishing on...

It's still around and kicking!. The snow and sub 15 degree weather makes a lot of RV travel dicey. If you're interested let me know. I'm loving the one I have now and since they are a wee bit smaller I may be able to shoehorn another panel up on the roof. Of course it will be shaded sometimes...

Nothing quite gets the juices flowing like coffee. So many ways to make it both to brew and to drink. Being an avid coffee drinker out on the road forces you to become a coffee brewer. A while back I looked into a bunch of different types of coffee makers and making techniques. You can see it...
