About us

It's only fair to tell you a bit about us. Jude and I met in the fall of 1999, and we have had the chance of having three great kids, Antoine, Emilie and Jacob. They enjoy camping as much as we do and so it's never a problem to convince them to out on a new adventure. We have travelled as far as Virginia Beach, Myrtle Beach, Cape Hatteras, Orlando, Key Largo and Key West, as well as closer to home in Ontario and Quebec.

As for me, I am curious by nature. When I was young, I was always trying to fix broken watches or old toasters my electrician father would bring back home. My success rate was never too high, but it always nurtured this curiosity of mine, this desire to understand things but also to get creative in the way things can be put to good use by recycling them.

Not pretty but effective!!

I am a tinkerer, a MacGyver kind of guy, and I have taken that from my late father. My father would fix broken things instead of throwing them out. It would not always be nice or good looking, but it always was effective. I am a bit like that, functional in that sense, a bit lazy when it comes to the finishing touches. Best example is our broken vacuum that I quickly fixed using some cedar planks as a mean to reinforce the broken plastic receiver end of the vacuum.

This curiosity brings me to want to make things better in an RV, to make it more functional if you will, and the satisfaction that comes with a successful project. I can only smile at the thought of me, beer in hand, looking and enjoying all of my project when there done. If ever there was a proud tinkerer, that would be me, the one and only me. The crazy thing is that this part of me does not apply only to our RV, but to every aspect of our lives. I could probably blog just about everything I did, every project I ever tried (not always successful or completed) It goes from taking an interest in hot peppers, which got me growing them to a point I bought a greenhouse, to designing a thermal hot water system to put on our roof for domestic hot water, to acid stain concrete floors, concrete countertop with fossils embedded in it to my DIY backup camera and DIY sprinkler system. So many great projects to be had. Let's not waste time, shall we?!
