Our all-time favorite motorhome trip was:
Our trip to California and everything in between. On the way, we stopped at the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. When we reached Merced, my brother and his wife showed us Yosemite, Bodie ghost town and San Francisco. On our way home, we stopped in Utah to see our daughter and two grandchildren and visited the Rockies in Colorado. We then stopped in Georgia and picked up some pecans and peaches before heading home to Florida.

One of our fondest motorhoming memories is:
The wonderful people we have met while on the road. There is nothing like the camaraderie of RVers.

Our “dream” motorhome trip would be:
We would love to make it to Washington State or Oregon. That is just a little too far with only two weeks vacation, but it gives us something to look forward to when we retire.

Our worst motorhoming experience was:
When our front right tire had a blowout while we were traveling. Luckily no one was hurt, but it was very frightening and frustrating to have to walk two days for a replacement tire at a gas station. We made the most of it, though, and visited the local sites. Afterward, most of it became just another great memory.

The best thing about our current motorhome is:
There is no one thing that I can name. It is a combination of all the great features that make it a pleasure to travel in. We do love the large compartments which make storing gifts for our grandchildren easier and gives us an opportunity to spoil them even more.

A special or unique feature of our motorhome is:
With all the great features in our motorhome, like the washer-dryer, satellite TV, etc., it always amazes people when we show them our cup holders on the driver and passenger seats. Push blue to keep your drink cold, red to keep it hot. It's simple but very handy while going down the road.

Something about motorhoming that we know now but didn’t know when we started is:
When we first started, we were real greenhorns. The fun was in learning all the tricks of the trade and finding out how wonderful and generous other RVers can be with their knowledge.

If we could change one thing about our motorhome, it would be:
I guess I would rather have a window at the kitchen sink. Our last motorhome had a window there and it was great being able to look out while I was doing dishes.

Pets that travel with us:
We have two wonderful long-haired Chihuahuas, Ricky and Lucy Tu. They love traveling in our motorhome and especially love rallies. We just acquired a new long-haired Chihuahua puppy, who will be joining Ricky and Lucy Tu on trips, as well. Desi Lu is also a long-haired Chihuahua.

The best alteration or addition that we’ve made to our motorhome is:
The satellite dome. Now we can get our favorite TV shows wherever we are without worrying about which way the dish is facing. It is all automatic.

A motorhoming tip that we’d like to share with other motorhomers is:
I used to carry a cutting board in the motorhome but found that it was never the right size. Too big is too heavy, too small is too small. I happened to go to a Wal-Mart and they had clear-plastic, one piece (not pressed) placemats on sale. I bought several of them and now carry one or two in the motorhome. They are great for using on the counter to chop or prepare foods so you don't stain or damage the counter. Plus, they're easy to wash. When a mat starts to look old or if I used it to cut chicken, I toss it. They're lightweight, easy to store, inexpensive, and easily replaced.

Favorite store:
Wal-Mart, Camping World, Home Depot

Other comments:
Because we were able to go camping with our children as they were growing up, they have seen a lot of interesting and/or historical places, such as Gettysburg, Niagara Falls, Washington, D.C., Amish Farms, the Alamo, and the book depository where John F. Kennedy was shot, just to name a few. We gave them memories that last longer than any Nintendo game.
