First, we have a bucket list tour of the Canadian Maritimes to announce!

Cape Breton Island

A couple of weeks ago we asked folks to express interest in a possible Fantasy RV Tours 27-day guided trip to the Canadian Maritimes for next summer (2024). 

We promised to let you know if we were able to make this happen and we are excited to say that...

It’s a go!

The dates for our RV Lifestyle Best of the Canadian Maritimes Tour will be July 22 - Aug. 17, 2024.

Jennifer and I (and Bo) will be going with you. The tour is run, managed, and organized by Fantasy RV Tours and all the details, costs, payment plans, and the itinerary can be found at:

Please note: This tour is limited to 25 rigs. Based on the interest we're seeing, we suspect it will fill up fast.

If you want to speak directly to Fantasy RV Tours by phone, you can reach them at 800-952-8496. 

Again, Jennifer and I are not running this tour. We are just guests, like the others who sign up for this trip.

Cristy shared such a tip last week.

She was concerned about her foot slipping through that empty space behind the metal steps. So her husband made the perfect solution to prevent her from slipping while climbing up the metal steps. He took some diamond plate sheet metal and formed it to the back of the stairs, attaching it with rust-free screws. 

She took a picture and shared it with the group. Many thanked her for sharing and said they, too, had struggled with those stairs.

In fact one member, Red,  said his girlfriend had broken her foot after she slipped into that empty space when climbing the steps. What a great solution!

Next let's talk about the outside of our rigs. Ever hear the expression, small house, big yard? I kept thinking of that phrase when I read a post from Meliss...
