New Tires for Our 8 Year Old Honda Van



I just bought new Michelin Defender 2 Tires for our 2016 Honda Odyssey. They were $915 installed. In 8 years we have only put 32,000 miles on this 8 passenger van. It happily sits in its garage stall - out of the sun. I was able to sell the old tires on Facebook for $180. They had plenty of tread - they still had the rubber nibs on them. 

I am using this picture and story to test out a new web page on Facebook. We are lining up several trips for the summer and I want to be able to share my travels directly onto Facebook. Our first trip is Wednesday - spring break.

We Bought Another Camper - This Time it is a 2011 Chevy Roadtrek

Image
This is our new to us - 2011 Chevy Roadtrek Four years ago we bought a Tesla car. We decided at that time to sell our camper because we thought we would just use the electric car and stay in hotels. But we missed our camper - and decided to do it one more time.  We were visiting our friend Joan near Saint Augustine in January. While at her house - I was searching Facebook for campers in the area. This very nice camper showed up right in town. Lulu and Joan were busy shopping so I drove out to see the camper. It was owned by a couple just a little order than us. They had it 7 years - and bought it from another older couple that lived in Celebration FL - you know the Disney town. They owned it 7 years too. I am hoping we have 7 years with it.  It is a 2011 Chevrolet Roadtrek. We have had 10 campers and 2 buses. We had Roadtreks two times before - both times we were very happy with the quality and price. This one has just 53,000 miles on it in 14 years. I purchased a CarFax repor...

Our 2025 Camping Trip to Key West

Image
  Lower Key Medical Center - free place to sleep Henry Flagler built the train to the sea over 40 bridges Tuesday we got home from our maiden voyage in our 2011 Chevy Roadtrek with 55,000 miles on it. It was 1500 miles and we slept in the camper 6 nights - and stayed in a condo near Disney 2 nights. We were concerned because our camper furnace was not working before the trip started. The camper computer said we got 17 mpg and we were quite pleased with that. I never went over 65 mph - which explains the good mileage. We just bought the camper and it had on brand new Cooper Mastercraft Tires. I am a bit of a tire snob - but after 1500 miles of quiet and comfortable ride - I think I will stick with them for a time. Both Lulu and I approved the ride. We both drove too. We drove from Tallahassee to Disney the 1st night - stayed in a condo with the cousins - then drove to Miami Beach for nights 2 & 3. We parked right on the beach in a public parking lot - we just bought a parking ti...
