Motorhome Talk On Facebook

The motor home FANNY and the trailer FREDDY (named after the creator of wet plate and his wife who sacrificed so much), have preformed well so far.

The motor home being a 2000 model does require a Mr. Fix It attitude. I have learned how to fix many things using YouTube. Also learning how things like the plumbing work. Resealing the roof, adding a black water vent. I need to replace the inverter as well as I had an issue when I put the batteries back this year. Now have all new batteries which worked great the first trip.

The trailer has been near flawless. I had leaks from the sink, pump which now seemed solved. I need to replace the on off switch for the water pump which is malfunctioning, and light proof the door which gave me major problems last trip.

Anyway overall I am very happy with both units so far. Hoping to get 10 plus years out both.

This isn't exactly roughing it.

The drama will come when you stub a toe.

• No not roughing it but the eventual plan is to spend up to 4 months traveling the length and breath of Canada. Without a motorhome it would not be practical to do so, especially as I get closer to 70. The motorhome will be essential both from a comfort of living level (can watch movies, eat good food, super comfy bed) and living for free in remote locals thing. You pay more for the diesel but many nights I can live for free with no hotel costs. The motorhome will also allow me to stay in places, especially in the North of Canada where there are no hotels. I can spend a week living in nature with the big camera set up (in its own tent?) making photos. It should be a glorious experience. The RV shower this last trip was also essential. After spending 12-14 hours in the darkroom trailer swimming in chemicals, you require a nice hot shower before bed time. It is a luxury but also a necessity. Nice to wash yourself before bed, it sets you up for the next day of travel or photo making! Right now as I type this I have silver nitrate stains on my hands, tip of my nose, right eyebrow and the second toe of my left foot! Got to have my shower, to clean up on a daily basis. The unit allows about 6 hot showers on a tank of water.
