Carnival 7-day Cruise - Legend - November 2024
We had a fabulous time on our cruise and wanted to share some highlights with our friends who went on it with us (Jason and Laura) and with our family and friends who didn't come. We're definitely cruisers now and already planned another one to the Southern Caribbean in a bit over a year!

Summer RV Traveling 2024 - Then This Happened
Переглядів 6214 днів тому
This summer Christie and I traveled to Oregon from Nevada and back. We stayed in Premier RV Resort again and while Christie spent time with her parents and helped her mom with things, I worked and spent my weekends on the McKenzie and Rogue River. Videos are already posted for those. I thought I'd share with you about our trip and especially what happened on the trip home. We were turning aroun...

Hello All, If you watched my last few videos, this is the second of two McKenzie River runs during the last week of August, 2024. We had beautiful weather this day with temps up to the mid-90s and other than an upstream wind, it was flawless. Super fun section with lots of great surfing opportunities and great places for skills practice. Please like, subscribe, and ring the bell for notifications.
Inflatable Kayaking the Upper McKenzie River - August 2024
Переглядів 652 місяці тому
Hello everyone - I took two back-to-back McKenzie River trips the last weekend of August just after the Rogue River Trip. The McKenzie was really high water-wise since we'd just had that big rain storm a week earlier and a lot of trees had fallen down into the river as a result of the heavy rains and the fires from the last few years. WARNING: There's a 90% river-wide snag just upstream of Belk...

The lot design is very poor with all lots having a 90 degree angle from the street compared with others on an angle in the area. The roads around are very busy at times. The base price of a lot then was $150k not sure if they’re the same price now but Lake Osprey is a much nicer facility far more beautiful for about $25k less. you can build up to a 1200 sq ft home if you wish on the lots.

One of the odd things that has been a problem for me specifically is their interior doorways are not standard residential doors. They’re like 30” x 76” which is odd on a wall that’s 10-11’ tall. I have to watch it or I’ll hit my head walking through them. Having to duck in my own home is a bummer. DRV hasn’t been doing anything new design-wise for years.

Maybe You Were Thinking Of The Super Wal-Mart In Sierra Vista 45 Minutes Away. And You Didn't Mention That Legends RV Resort Has Interstates On Two Sides. So Interstate Noise Level Is How Bad? With All The Semitrucks Coming Right There At The Big Loves Gas Station. In Front Of Legends RV Resort To REST With Their Motors Running. It's A Semitruck Race Way Park Too. And That's Got To Be The Smallest Pool I've Seen At Any RV Parks I Ever Stayed At. When The Snow Birds Land In Benson For 7 Months? It's Very Crowded! Business Are Full And Traffic Is Bumper To Bumper All The Time. So Yeah You Will Have To Go To Big Towns 45 Minutes To An Hour Or Hour And A Half Away To Do Any Convenient Shopping That's Not Hectic.

      Our 2021 Tiffin RW had a 900# OCCC which includes occupants and cargo - including fresh water.

As a Class B Van they work pretty well but don't include full wall slides etc. A good alternative is the Thor Gemini 24JG or something similar that's built on a Ford Truck Chassis.

      It is a genuine concern. The 900# of weight is mostly important in transit where it could impact whether an insurance claim might pay or not. If you and your spouse, your clothing items, dishes and small appliances, food, bedding, pet, weight of tow bar if hauling a toad, etc are going to go over weight than it could be an issue. Carrying water was our biggest concern. We never carried more that 33% in fresh tank because we couldn’t and still be under weight.
