Great Gifts for Egg Travellers

I love to share the great things I find that make Egg travelling more comfortable and efficient.  I particularity love it when these products come from a really nice company. Today’s share is LeeValley.com out of Canada.  I just purchased several items from their Gifts catalog and am very happy with them:   Photo credit: […]

Camping on Rend Lake Il, Gangster Ghosts and George Harrison

There are little towns all across America that boast a claim to fame or historic event that puts them on the map of worthy visits.  Some lucky towns have tireless and generous citizens who work to preserve the history through murals, museums, oddities and public sculptures.  Benton Il is just such a town.  Downtown, the […]

Ideas, hooks and potential

These are the hooks we currently use to hang things on the carpeted walls (just be careful to only hang super lightweight objects on the carpeting –you don’t want the carpet to pull away from the walls):But I’m always looking for new ways to hang lightweight objects on the carpet or fiberglass and I’m perpetually on […]

Protecting the Egg from Theft

Seems like everyday now I see notice of another stolen trailer on Facebook.  Given the high re-sale value of the Egg category and the current super popularity of campers, our Eggs are all more appealing to thieves. What’s to be done??  Well, as one who has had more than her share of home break-ins, car […]

More Kitchen Helpers–Drying Rack

Sorting through what works verses what works better (and always editing for storage and weight) we have gone through two different iterations on dish drying aparatus. The first was a roll out rack that fully expanded to cover the sink.  This worked great for dishes washed outside and brought in to air dry overnight and […]

More Kitchen Helpers–Ice trays

One of these days, I’m going to get around to doing a full inventory of what our essential trip gear is.  Until then, I’ll share things, little by little, that help make our camping fun. Today, lets talk ice and storage.  My favorite ice trays for the Casita are small silicone squares.   They fit the […]

Banner Trips™

While waiting on big projects to dry in my studio today,  I am painting up some of our Banner Trips™ on little fabric flags that will soon decorate our Casita. What a joy it is to recreate moments of happiness along our journey. I encourage you to create something special for your Egg, too.  Any […]

Securing the Electric for Towing

You’ve seen me wax poetic about these little flexi-twists before in my Sticks and Lights post (https://zenandtheartoflittlehousetravelling.com/2016/05/25/sticks-and-lights/)  and Perfecting the Perfect Camp Chair post (https://zenandtheartoflittlehousetravelling.com/2016/06/07/perfecting-the-camp-chair/).    Basically, we find these super twist ties incredibly useful.  They come in many sizes and colors. Well, we were tired one night and pulled a freshman mistake while unhitching […]
