First stop on the way home was Reed Bingham SP. We have been here before and it is a lovely park. Nice full service sites, and well maintained.&nb...
2025 The Little Loop: Changing Direction
And this is the point where it got all very disheartening and disappointing. Our Big Loop just got a lot smaller.By the time of the U.S. elections, we had spent months planning and making campsite reservations. After the new government was elected, we, and the world, knew there was a new Sheriff in town. Despite the early rather anti-Canadian tone...
2025 The Big Loop: To Miramar Beach
Headed next to St Petersburg FL. As many times as we tried, we could not find a site in the Fort De Soto campgrounds. We ended up booking a few days at the KOA, which was a relatively close drive to our friends Helen & Paul. They rent a condo there every year, and it was...
2025 The Big Loop: To Savannah
So we brought the Alto home from storage a week or so early to load it up and get ready for our trip. The weather was cooperating...until the day before we left. A storm dumped 15 cm of snow during a seriously snowy day. Cleaned the vehicles off and the driveway, and by the...

2024 Trip 2: Sharbot Lake
We were able to snag our favourite site at this park, right on the water in a quiet non serviced ar...
Fan-Tastic Fan Thermal Fuse
During those stinking hot days when the Alto is at home in the driveway, I open the windows and turn on the fan to keep some airflow happening inside. I popped back out to check how hot it was, and discovered that the fan had stopped. Odd. Checked the distribution panel...
Front Storage Cubby
After fourteen years of tinkering and modding our Alto, the well of new ideas can run a little dry. When we recently changed the fabric on the bench cushions, the roll of leftover fabric brought an old idea to the forefront again.the existing cushion...lost sp...
