Before our 2023 Baystar 3014, we owned 2 other gas Class A motorhomes. Overall, we are very happy we switched to Newmar and love most things about our Baystar 3014, as I've mentioned in previous posts. However, every manufacturer has some oddities and peculiarities that sometimes make you scratch your head and wonder why. In... Continue Reading →

The Baystar 3014 is just the right size for... Continue Reading →
I won’t go into details, but on the way home from Oregon, just two hours into the drive, two large animals ran in right in front of me. Here’s the result. I was just sick over it, but it could not have been avoided. The RV was still drivable, so I loaded the pieces inside... Continue Reading →

I first heard about Liquid Spring Smart Suspension after I made suspension improvements to my Winnebago a few years ago.

...Well, from an RV-only perspective, that is...Our last RV trip was in late February, which seems ages ago. Like many of you, I have tried to spend the time productively –– binge-watching TV, ignoring household projects, eating more than I should, etc. ...Uh, I mean, INSTEAD of doing that, I spent some quality time getting...

During I last trip, I shared about my backache right before the trip. This time, as if in sympathy for me, our RV had a few problems of it's own.

Last Friday I drove to La Mesa RV and picked up our new 2017 Winnebago Adventurer 35P in the rain. No worries! La Mesa parked my Sunstar and Adventurer next to each other to make the move easy.
