A year and a half with Starlink for our RV

Broomstick Handle | Flashlight | Falling Cabinets

This is a little RV repair post about a small problem we saw developing in our RV.  As we noticed on the new 2016 Evergreen BayHill’s they have done away with the upper curved cabinets that go over the couches.    We were curious as to why they would do that but I think we […]

RV Bunk Bed Room Remodel Bay Hill Fifth Wheel

One of the unnecessary items we quickly noted when shopping for our RV was the extra couch in the girls’ bunk room.  In our earlier post you saw that we immediately knew that was going to go somewhere else and it did.  Click here to view that post.  After I built the railings for the […]
