3 More Stupid Mistakes I've Made as a RVer (Part 2)
I've learned a lot since I started full-time RV life more than two years ago. Some things I learned the hard way by making some stupid mistakes. Two of these mistakes did quite a bit of damage to my motorhome. However, in spite of my oversight, I was able to narrowly avert a disaster.

MAINE STATE PARK camping, ACADIA NATIONAL PARK sightseeing, WHALE WATCHING and RV Trouble
Last summer, I traveled to Maine for the first time. I mostly camped at state parks; Aroostook, Lamoine and Bradbury Mountain. Of course, I had to see Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It was a great time, until my motorhome wouldn't start.

Solo RV camping in the New Jersey Pine Barrens
I love staying at state park campgrounds, so I camped at Brendan T. Byrne State Forest campground in the New Jersey Pine Barrens 4th of July weekend 2023. While I did not encounter the Jersey Devil (thankfully), Gus and I did enjoy hiking and camping at this charming campground in my home state.

Exploring Cape May New Jersey
Last summer I camped at a RV park in Cape May Courthouse, New Jersey and decided to explore the area. I visited Cape May Point State Park, enjoyed the beach and killed my legs climbing the lighthouse stairs. Sounds like fun, am I right?

Fort Stevens State Park, Hammond, OR
The first time I saw the Pacific Ocean was at Fort Stevens State Park in Oregon. This park has a very large campground. But it was the diversity of the park that I loved the most.

Getting used to RV life
I knew it would take me a while to get used to RV life, I just didn't realize how long. There were some things that I didn't expect. Thankfully, I kept going and I'm still loving RV life nearly two years later.

My Arizona Adventure
When I left New Jersey in the spring of 2022, the first place I wanted to see was the southwestern desert. And Arizona is one of my favorite states that I visited. While I was there, I explored Sedona, the Grand Canyon and Grand Canyon Caverns.
