Travels with "The Beast"

We went camping in an older RV - now look at what happened

Travels with "The Beast"

This is the story of how we learned to love travelling by RV by working on an older Class C motorhome.  We decided to start seeing this amazing country through the windshield of a 1998 Gulf Stream Yellowstone motorhome. We learned a tremendous amount from bringing the RV back to usable condition and then decided to upgrade to a new Class A for longer, future travels.  Follow our adventures, tips and tricks as new became dedicated RVers.
