As a Dutch/American couple (Stefan moved here from The Netherlands in 2015) living together in the States for the past few years – we’ve discovered one can’t escape the Dutch influence here! Even though it’s a very small country the Dutch immigrants and their heritage left a very large impact in the US. Stefan and…

Stefan and I learned so much traveling in our motorhome “Dutchie” during the first week of our road trip! We know this list will keep growing and I’m sure we forgot some, but these are the main things we discovered and want to share! Carry Cash (small bills) We realized we would need quarters for…

Kris and I are getting closer to leaving on our first road trip in Dutchie (our 2012 Fleetwood Jamboree )! One of the last things (but we feel important) to do before departure was installing a Tire Pressure Monitor System or TPMS. We have heard so many stories about blown out tires we decided the value…

Changing the storage compartments locks was still on our to-do list before heading out on our first road trip in Dutchie. The two biggest reasons we wanted to change the locks are downsizing our number of keys (right now we have 5 different keys for unlocking and driving our motorhome – crazy!) and safety. Did…

Kris and I love our La Crosse Atomic Forecast Station with pressure history, temperature, humidity, and moon phase! It has a detachable stand for wall hanging (ours is hanging next to our front door) or for on your tabletop/shelf. The best feature is it’s wireless – less cords in the RV is always a good…

We’ve purchased The Fan-Tastic Vent for some extra cooling for us and Balto (it can also be attached to pet cages). It’s a portable 12V fan that moves a large volume of air, but with a low amp draw. During our first trip in Dutchie we used this fan many times! It came in handy…

I can’t start the day without strong, black coffee! At home I have an espresso machine with a grinder – but it’s just too big to take on the road. Luckily during some Black Friday shopping we came the Nespresso Essenza Mini. After trying it out I’m enjoying the flavor and my coffee ready in…

We hope to prevent tire blowouts while driving Dutchie – so we chose the EEZ RV Tire Pressure Monitoring System. It’s designed as a safety feature to allow drivers to monitor both the tire pressure and temperature of the tires on their RV, trailers or tow vehicle. During our first road trip in Dutchie we liked…
