Hurricane Harvey was a disaster for Houston and other towns along the Texas Coast. Nashville was on the tail end dropping 5.5 inches. We had set up a barrier to keep the water from going in our basement, but the barrier failed when the flood water in the driveway pushed the barrier

We left Nashville on Saturday, drove to Murray to pick up the motorhome and then on to Louisville via Elizabethtown. We stayed at an old RV park across the Ohio in Clarksville, IN. Don’t use the Garmin GPS to find this park as it will try to take you under a low bridge. Get directions from the owners.

We left Nashville at 1:00 PM after a board meeting I attended. We drove through Louisville missing the worst of the traffic and spent the night in Jerico County Park in Smithville KY. It was quiet, inexpensive, primitive, and had three free spaces. The rest of the spaces were occupied by permanent RV

We spent a lot of time during the week installing a new clear window in the entry door, a towel bar in the bathroom like the View had, a towel bar under the galley counter, and motion detector lights in the hanging locker and under the sink. Amazingly we got all our stuff into the available storage

The following review compares our 2007 View to the 2016 Trend and explains why the Trend was a good choice for us. Click on any photo to enlarge it.

I am now struggling with how and when to replace our 2007 View 23B (bunk beds and no slide out). At the Grand Marais Rally in 2013 the Winnebago rep showed us photos of the Viva-Trend. I was not impressed since it didn't have a diesel engine. I figured that Winnebago

In 1950 my family took a 2 month loop from Toronto to Los Angeles to Vancouver BC and back to Toronto via Banff and Minneapolis. On our return my father, who

On I-74 in Indiana today I was attracted by a low price of $3.66 per gallon at the Crawfordsville Pilot. I pulled in only to discover at the pumps there was a sign "Auto Diesel $3.96". After filling up I was charged $3.98. Looking back at the big lighted pricing sign I noted in

Our Winnebago View got lots of use this year with trips to Florida, Alaska, Baltimore, and Toronto. We drove 16,224 miles and spent 133 nights aboard. All this was at the expense of the Katy Leigh which only saw us onboard for 99 nights and cruising for only 34 hours. We were home in Nashville for just
