We've been living in our 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2150RB for 4 months now. The travel trailer felt like home within a few days, but it has taken a while to really feel like our surroundings are home. When we first moved into this seasonal RV park, we were unable to find a lot that … Continue reading When camping becomes home
Last year we spent the first part of June at a campground in Red Deer with a tarp covering part of our old trailer's roof and towels mopping up water inside. This year, we're spending the end of May in a downpour that is supposed to last several days! Our experiences last year has definitely … Continue reading It’s raining… again…
As I spend most of my waking moments thinking about moving into the travel trailer, living in the travel trailer, organizing our things in the travel trailer, I thought I should maybe share some of my checklist for getting our RV ready for use. This might be a little more in-depth than most people need, … Continue reading RV Preparations – Summer
We officially moved in to our new travel trailer on Saturday, April 4, 2020!Moving into our Grand Design RV Imagine 2150RB has been almost a year in the making. It is such a relief to be settling in and organizing our things, but it has also created its own challenges. I've spent the better part … Continue reading Creating Routines in Our New Environment
Do you have any privacy in an RV? Yes, and no. In a "sticks n bricks" house, you have thick walls and insulation between your master bedroom and ensuite. Even if your partner gets up to use the bathroom in the night, chances are you don't hear much of their nighttime visit. You might even … Continue reading Where’s my privacy?
There is no right answer. There is no "which RV is right for you? Take this quiz!" option. Every RVer has different priorities, different needs, and a different budget. This is the process that we went through before upgrading to our new 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2150RB. Our first travel trailer purchase was based on … Continue reading The Method behind the Madness: Choosing our RV
We spent two weekends at RV shows, and another Saturday visiting a few RV dealerships to look at purchasing a new travel trailer. Walking through the different trailers, motorhomes, and vans was so much fun! Trying to find a representative to chat with about floorplans and accessories... not so fun. There was a couple times … Continue reading When you’re Young and Dumb (and not worth the sales pitch)
This has been a very lengthy and stressful process. Many many many late nights were spent squinting at a computer screen reading and researching long past my eyeballs' tolerance for back-lit electronics. A plethora of texts and emails have been sent to an equally vast number of companies, builders, dealerships, and organizations to ask questions … Continue reading We’re moving in!
Living in a small space sometimes requires specialty equipment. When I lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Lethbridge that was 80% carpeted, I purchased a huge Dyson Cinetic upright vacuum to help cope with all the dog hair. First of all, there's no place in the trailer to store that monster, and secondly, we just … Continue reading Small things we love for our small space
On Saturday, August 3, 2019, Devon and I packed up our travel trailer and headed West. With just a brief stop in Calgary to trade trucks with Devon's dad, we made temporary camp down an old logging road between Golden, BC, and Revelstoke, BC. We only stayed there long enough to sleep, and then proceeded … Continue reading A change of scenery
