Putting bikes on the roof of your car is like dragging an anchor with weeds attached to deep mucky water. Your milage gets hit, you have to scream to communicate to your co-pilot in order to rise above the howling noise-floor, you are always at risk of loosing parts while forcing 70mph winds through those [...]
We love camping on Madeline Island in Wisconsin. And now with our trusty rice cooker we are set to attract all the bears in the forest. I like using a rice cooker since it gives me space on our two-burner stove when cooking. I set the time when the rice should be done, letting me [...]
In 1977, my parents decided to buy a brand new Mercedes van in Germany, where we lived. It was a “Kastenwagen” meaning, it was completely unfinished on the inside except for the front seats and the dash. My father immediately dropped it off at a camping conversion outfit and they outfitted the van with bench/beds, [...]
I talked earlier about the perfect union between the Volvo XC90 Sport and the DWR Airstream, so I have some more tidbits of why it is so much fun towing our Airstream with this elegant SUV. I wanted to tow the DWR Bambi Airstream with our Volvo XC70 station wagon, but since we couldn’t get [...]

Imagine finding a quiet campsite, cuddling up in bed and then the fridge starts making this annoying buzzing sound. Since the fan is controlled by a heat sensor, it turns on and off at intermittent intervals. But, if it [...]
Living in the deepfreeze that is Minnesota, we are always looking forward to a beach vacation. We were about to travel 3100 miles to get some sun and saltwater in our faces when the nose-biting cold bit us hard. It is difficult to think at -6 degrees Fahrenheit, especially when it comes to connecting a [...]
I love Volvos, for many reasons, so I had to find one that could pull our new DWR Airstream. We went to our dealership and drove a used 2004 XC90 and it was uninspired. I talked to my wonderful sales person, Tristan Grobel at Borton Volvo in Minneapolis, MN and asked, “What about the new Sport Edition?” [...]
We’re docked for the winter – and, it’s a cold one this year. We’re looking forward to parking the Streamin’ Daemon at a beach like we did here in Port Crescent State Park last summer in Michigan. We swam in Lake Huron and watched the sun set. It was one of our favorite State Park campgrounds on [...]
