  • The Brakes

    , ,

    “How on earth did she get that thing over here without killing herself?!” asked the RV repair guy. “Um, she’s a really good driver?” Franklin told him. We knew the brakes had problems. The mechanic who did the inspection said that there was air in the brake lines and that a caliper was bad. The…

  • First Look

    ,

    Franklin and I had looked at a handful of RVs before finding this one for sale on Facebook Marketplace. All of them were older because the budget is very small, but they all looked like … well, like RVs. Any Boomers or GenXers who ever had a motorhome back in the 1970s, ’80s, or ’90s…

  • Electrical Misadventures

    ,

    I tasked Franklin with designing and setting up the electrical system, which involved converting the battery system to lithium-ion and putting solar panels in the mix. It also, apparently, required rewiring basically any and all plugs and electrical devices going to or from or into both the new RV and my old RV (which I…

    ,

    We arrived at what seemed to be a fae vehicle graveyard to inspect an RV that we really couldn’t tell what it looked like from the pictures. After climbing around it for nearly an hour with a looming storm overhead, we still couldn’t really tell what was going on. But we felt drawn to it.…

  • The Deal (pt. 1)

    ,

    They say that making a deal with the fae usually ends poorly for the human. I didn’t set out to make a deal with the fae and I’m not entirely sure when the deal happened. But I am reasonably sure that I ultimately ended up making a deal with the fae. I suppose I will…
