We were unable to leave Virginia’s gravitational pull this time although we got pretty close. Surprisingly Virginia is a pretty large state to drive through (north to south) when in an RV. We made it to Wytheville VA, just a hair away from the North Carolina border. We left behind the hustle and bustle of...

Lancaster County PA, where the cows and chickens truly are free-range, almost everyone has livestock and a garden (with corn) in their yard, and horse poop is a common sight on the road. We made it to Amish Country in PA and stayed in a little town called Intercourse (on the way there, we passed...

I think we finally out-ran summer! After picking up Rover in Florida at the end of April, we’ve been slowly making our way North, but not fast enough to escape some brutal heat and humidity. By the time we made it to New Jersey it was already July and summer was in full swing with days...

We just spent a week in Red Hook New York and had our first opportunity to break out our bicycles (newly retrieved from storage while passing through Maryland) and go for a ride. Not too far from Red Hook is the Walkway Over The Hudson, a 212-foot high railroad bridge built in 1888 and converted to...

Since the only reason we went to Jackson NJ was to visit Six Flags, we stayed for just three nights and headed out on Friday morning to try our hand at driving Rover onto Long Island NY. Since many of New York’s bridges are not tall enough for trucks, Mike had to be absolutely positive our...

After Philly, we took a short hop over to Jackson NJ to check out Six Flags: Great Adventure. Both Mike and I are coaster freaks and we do love checking out the biggest and baddest. When we lived in a sticks & bricks, we would try to visit Cedar Point Park (roller coast mecca) at...

Our drive from College Park MD to Philly turned out slightly more stressful than anticipated. We wanted to avoid 95 (and its tolls) so we took US 1 north. Unfortunately the first half of the drive on US 1 is through cities and towns. While it is a two lane road, the lanes are tight,...

Above: Kathie standing next to a raw 24,000 lb. rated chassis. Just like humans (and dogs), RVs need to stay a healthy weight. In fact, if your RV is overweight, the consequences can be costly (chassis or axle damage) or deadly (decreased braking ability). Rover’s front axle is rated to carry a maximum of 9,000 lbs, his rear...

Overall I’m very happy with Rover and all his amenities. We’ve been in our coach for a little over 2 months now and we’ve adjusted very well to living in an RV; however the kitchen faucet continued to drive me bonkers! The factory faucet is something out of the 80s, it’s short, close to the...

We wanted to get back to the DC area within six week of purchasing Rover so we could pick up the rest of our things. Since we took a side trip back to Tampa (to fix a few things) and then to the Space Coast, we were running a little behind. We decided to make...
