After almost 6 years of fulltiming, I am often asked for tips to help the newbie hit the road. I believe following a checklist is an important part of the process. It’s always a good idea to review safety steps no matter how many times you’ve performed them. I share things learned from my own experience (sometimes found out the "hard way"). I also had lots of good expert input from those more experienced in areas less familiar to me. An RV salesman with over 20 years experience helped with the PDI process, a long-time trailer and 5th wheel tower overlooked that section. These lists were designed to be easy to use, broken down into four stages so you can print out just exactly what you need along the way. Below is a recap of the kind of checklists included and the type of information provided.
Separate detailed lists for interior and exterior elements to check out. Drive Test – how’s it handle? What to watch for. Helps keep track of different ones you’ve seen and how to inspect them.

Like many people, Kim and I spent lots of years hearing about the cruise vacations that other folks were taking. We saw beautiful pictures of exotic places that we, as a young and dirt poor couple, thought we may never see. We lived one day at a time, congratulated others on the chance to take amazing voyages, and hoped for the day when money was easier to come by.
Years later, when the money did come a little easier, we were blessed to be able to leave our two kids with the grandparents for a few days, and go on our first cruise. We had saved our pennies, shopped around for what we thought was the best deal, and we were at sea for the very first time.

This isn’t just some tour that’s been plucked off the internet. It’s a detailed route that has been followed and enjoyed by many of our clients. It’ll take you away from the well worn routes and onto the back roads, where you’ll pass through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
It is based on the ‘Grand Tour of Spain’ which features here on our web pages. The circular route begins and ends at Santander. It heads south down the west side of Spain, touches the coasts of the Costa del Sol and the Costa Tropical, before returning north on the east side. The tour was designed to take in mountain passes, coastal roads, national parks, lakes and vibrant cities such as Seville and Salamanca. It really has something for everyone. Many of our customers have said ‘This is the best tour I have ever been on.’ We still offer the tour unchanged at Motorbike Tours. Our problem is trying to improve it.
