Sunny and I have spent the last few months checking out traveling homes for our two-year trip throughout the West. We’ve looked at both motor homes and fifth wheels. Since I’m 6’ 5”, the main criteria has been the height of the rig.

Now days the motor homes come with a seven foot plus height. And, are they luxurious. Unfortunately, they’re a little costly for this country boy. I figured that we could stay at a five-star hotel for five years for the price we would have to spend for one of those things.

So, we’ve settled on a 34-foot fifth wheel. The brand that’s the front-runner at this point is a Montana. The model we like has four pop outs. There’s a nice kitchen for Sunny and an office area for me. And even though I won’t be able to cut wood and build a fire each day, there is even a fireplace…electric, of course. What have I stooped to?

I think we’ll be getting a one-ton Dodge diesel to pull it. I have a ¾-ton Dodge with 190,000 miles on it, and it has served me well.

Now, I know everyone has their preferences in fifth wheels, and the same with diesel trucks. So, what’s yours? Click on the “Contact Us” plank above, and tell us if we are “right on”, or need our heads examined. And, if you think we need an examination, what you recommend as a cure, and why.

Thanks.

Our weekly show being aired the week of February 20-26 took place during a weekend with a group known as the Earpatics. We traveled to the Parker, Arizona area to view Wyatt Earp's camp, mine and home where he spent much of his later years. Below are pictures taken during that weekend.

Dakota & Sunny at Earp, CA. Yes, there is such a town. Today, all it is is a post office.

This is the home where Wyatt & Josie lived.

This is the only home where Wyatt lived that he actually owned. The front porch and back section have been added on since Wyatt lived there. It was originally a two room home. They used an outhouse, and cooked outside. The top picture is where Wyatt and Josie spent their happiest time together. They would spend months at a time here. The picture below it is how the area looks today with Sunny, Dakota and Jake taking the place of Josie, Wyatt and their dog.

Wyatt hired others to do the mining. It produced a low-grade silver ore.
