On: August 12, 2019

In the “real Florida” we take you to an eccentric artist’s castle, kayaking on an alligator infested river, and eating Greek in the sponge capital of the world. And, along the way we manage to find oranges and BBQ. Opa! Do you have any suggestions for our next trip to Florida? Please let us know in the comments below!Read More →

How to Restore Faded RV Decals

2019-08-06
On: August 6, 2019

You might think that those beautiful motorhomes you see driving down the road have a full paint job, just like your car or truck. But if the dominant color on a motorhome is white, off-white, or gray, chances are the white is plain fiberglass, and the graphics (swoops and swirls) are vinyl decals (not paint). Vinyl is cheaper than paint. And in the RV world, particularly with older rigs, “full paint” is a luxury for higher end coaches. The problem with decals is that while they look nice at first, they don’t tend to age well. The UV rays of the sun often cause themRead More →

Our Ten Favorite Things for the RV

2019-05-09
On: May 9, 2019

Now that we’ve been RVing for a while, we thought it would be fun to make a list of our ten favorite things that make RV living easier. It was hard to narrow the list down, and Jeff actually ended up adding three “Bonus” items in his list! We’ve included more details about each item below. Are any of these on your list of favorite things? Is there something you love that we missed? Please let us know in the comments. Tooletries Silicone Organizers We struggled with how to best describe these on our video. What it basically comes down to is that these areRead More →

In this first episode of season 2, we visit beautiful Lewes, Delaware, “The first town in the first state,” and explore the historic waterfront, charming downtown, and neighboring Cape Henlopen State Park.

On: November 15, 2018

DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS We finally caught up with some warmer weather last January as we headed into Texas, and we had a blast exploring the San Antonio and Houston areas. This video has some of the highlights as well as the embarrassing moment when we realized we’d traveled down mile after mile of twisting country roads to arrive at the wrong RV park!

One of My Biggest Fears: Sick pets far from home!

2018-08-20
On: August 20, 2018

Okay. There are a lot of things to be “afraid of” when on the road. Accidents. Breakdowns. Break-ins. Bears. Bugs. Robberies. Illness. Stinkbugs. But one of my biggest fears before heading out on our first long RV trip last December was that one of our pets would get sick. What would we do? How would we find a vet? How would a pet’s illness affect our daily RV life and travel plans? Take these questions and fears and multiply by four. Yes, we have three dogs and a cat. The dogs are Tucker, a handsome 95-pound Golden Retriever; Oliver, a friendly 9-pound Chihuahua; and Mitzi,Read More →

Orange Picking at Ridge Island Groves

2018-06-24
On: June 24, 2018

It was cold – in the mid-40s – as we pulled off of the main highway to experience another slice of the “real Florida.” If you’ve never tasted oranges straight off of the tree, or savored orange juice fresh-squeezed on the farm where it was grown, this is a stop that you’ve got to visit if you ever get a chance. And did I mention homemade orange ice cream? That’s just part of what you’ll find on the latest episode of Miles and Smiles! As always, we eagerly look forward to your comments and questions. Next up: Tips on a Great Disney Experience.Read More →
