This blog is a journal of the adventures of Rob and Becky...we will do our best at keeping post positive, helpful, and entertaining. No rants, no stories of gloom, just fun and real post. Everybody has drama in their lives and we are no different. This blog will not be our place to vent the bad, but rather to share the adventure. We hope you like it.

Oh, and be advised, we are not professional writers or photographers (and sometimes we're tired or hungover) so if there are misspelled words (probably autocorrect issue), bad grammar, or pictures are out of focus...deal with it...or please comment, we are open constructive criticism and learning.



The rig...

Ok, so here we go talking about the rig...it is a 1979 Itasca Sundancer, 20ft, small block Chevy.




 Well that's what it started as anyway. We bought it for $900.00 (that's right), got it home and started on the interior remodel. My step dad is one hell of a wood smith so he did just about everything inside.


I will post some interior pictures soon, so check back. Ok here they are (edited 14 Oct 14).
