Last week I went to our storage facility to check on the camper. When I pulled up, something didn’t look right.
Haboob
This photo taken in the Salton Sea area by NWS #Skywarn Spotter Steve.For those who occasionally hike or camp in deserts, I’d like to share a recent weather event we had in our lovely desert on Oct 6, 2022. Should you happen to experience one of these this post will explain what happened.
It is called a Haboob, which is an Arabic name. This is what it looked like down by the Salton Sea, which is about 60 miles from our house.
Recliner Chairs for Our Travel Trailer!
Our 2014 Milan travel trailer came with two swivel chairs. These chairs had two good attributes; the first is the material matched the sofa and dinette seating colors and patterns. But aesthetics do not mean excellent functionality.
The second positive, is they were somewhat small and fit into the seating area rather nicely.
After over 1,000 days/nights of camping, Joyce and I came to the realization that we didn’t like the chairs, color and patterns aside. Nine years of imperfect use was long enough to convince us.
Dolphins !!
Earlier this month we spent a few days at beach to cool off from the summer heat.
Endless Breeze 12 Volt Fan: Wall Mount Modification
We’ve owned this fan for 19 years. It is reliable and durable as I mentioned back in 2017, which was a 14 year review.
But there has been one nagging inconvenience with it ever since we bought our 2014 Milan Travel Trailer. It isn’t a problem with the Endless Breeze. It’s a problem with our bedroom.
In this post I share how I fixed that inconvenience.

Does an Electric Tow Vehicle Make Sense?
Electric engines are the most efficient means of moving heavy loads. So an electric tow vehicle might just be the perfect tow vehicle! Or is it?
Camco 4-in-1 Magnetic Bumper Cap
Most RVs come with a 4-inch square, hollow rear bumper, designed for storing a sewer hose. To keep the hose secured in the bumper, end caps are used. The caps should be easy to remove for access to the hose and, at the same time, fit snuggly so they do not fall off during travel.
Our old ones, which were 8+ years old worked well. But the harsh environment in which we live finally took its toll on our caps.
I decided to buy the CAMCO Magnetic Bumper Cap kit. This isn’t a review, but just a first impression and a discussion about the one concern I have with the purchase.
Camco RhinoFLEX RV Sewer Hose Kit: 8 Year Review
When we bought our Milan Travel Trailer back in 2013, one of the first things I did before our first trip was to throw away the cheap sewer hose that came with it and buy a Camco RhinoFlex Sewer Hose Kit.
Since we have used this original sewer hose for almost 9 years, it is time to do a long-term review!

How Much Propane Does an RV Fridge Use?
This past weekend our travel trailer ran out of propane. But it wasn’t a surprise.
Biden tweets demand for gas stations to ‘bring down’ prices, gets praised by Chinese state media
What’s Up With That?
I don’t do Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, or any other social media. The screenshot above came from a news article. In addition, I normally don’t care to write about political issues. But I have to <rant> about this!
For many of us with RVs, the current high price of gas is a concern. I’m not happy about the current $6.30 per gallon price in California either.
What is the President suggesting? Is he saying gas stations should sell gas at cost? Why is China, a communist country, praising him? Doe Joe want our government to nationalize the industry, like China (China National Petroleum Corporation)?
