Why stop with Land?

You've got to be kidding! Ingenuity at it's best.

So you've made it to the lake and parked your coach to enjoy the scenery.


But why stop there? Just get back into your coach, drive directly into the water and flip a switch.


The transmission switches from Land to Water and off you go, cruising across the water.


And if you want to relax and enjoy the scenery as you did before. Open the slide rooms to relax inside


or fold out the 6ft back swim platform.

The Unexpected is Found in Lakeland Florida

When you visit Lakeland, you will be surprised with the beauty that we have to offer. At first glance Lakeland looks like a Sleepy little town, but as you explore you will find we have much to offer by the way of culture.


Hollis garden Donated to Lakeland by the Hollis Family, Hollis garden is a 1.2 acre beauty of various flowers and bushes, as well and beautiful architecture, and sitting benches. A perfect place to contemplate your travels while enjoying the warm Florida breezes.

Florida Southern College When I first arrived in Lakeland (Ohio Native) I was lucky to discover the beautiful Florida Southern College which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Largest Collection of Frank Lloyd Wright Architecture in the World is found here in Lakeland in our Florida Southern College.

The Polk Museum of Art located across from Lake Morton, has a host of exhibitions that cycle throughout the year. The Polk Museum of Art also houses a sculpture garden featuring contemporary works in the museum's permanent outdoor exhibition space, including the "waterwall." With a diverse exhibition schedule, dynamic event calendar, and comprehensive educational programming, you will find they are truly more than an art museum.

There is so much more that can be found in Lakeland. For more information you may go to the Visit Central Florida website.

And while you're here, give Mac a call at 863-868-7634 if you need any work done on your RV or Coach. He doesn't mind working why you are out exploring our wonderful City.

I always have trouble remembering three things: faces, names, and - I can't remember what the third thing is. ~ Fred Allen

As you travel across the country, the more places you visit, the harder it becomes to remember each and every stop on your journey. And 1/2 the fun of the travel is the time spent looking back and remembering what you've done.

Having a tangible "reminder" of each place is not only a useful memory tool but also a great ice-breaker to pull out when you meet someone new, or stop to visit someone you've known for years.

A favorite way to keep record of memories is digital photos. There are drawbacks to having CDs and DVDs. When you want to share you need to have something electronic to view them. Not always the most convenient, because as RVers, spending time outdoors with friends old and new is an important part of the experience.

There are places online where you can convert those images into books that can easily be stored, gifted, and shared. One place that I've personally used multiple times is Shutterfly.

They print a very high quality product that looks like you purchased it from a book store. Their quick book sets up layouts for you and allows you to put your quick story describing the photos on that page.

If printed material is not you way of expressing yourself, maybe souvenirs are more to your liking. Visit this fun blog (RV Roadtrips) and explore some of their "memory lane" ideas.

Unusual and Weird Recreational Vehicles (RVs)

Today while surfing the internet, I ran across a very cool website.

I like to see the ingenuity of others, and this site is loaded with it. This is a Blog site that is full of interesting coaches, rv's, 5th wheels, and generally any kind of mobile storage. Take a look!

Thinking Outside the Box

Is your carpet showing wear around your entry area?
Don't replace the whole carpet. Call me and we'll talk about a solid surface walk off area. Or maybe a new solid surface floor along the sink and range area.

Tired of that boring ceiling and ugly lighting?
Call me and I will come to you, and point out some attractive options. For example, custom vinyl, mirrors.

It looked like it would fit.
Did you buy a new TV for your coach only to find that it won't fit in the cabinet space? Give me a call, and I will help you achieve the look you want.

I can help you in preparing for a purchase or a sell

If you are thinking about buying a used RV, call me and ask about a safety inspection on the RV you are considering.

Or, if you are thinking about selling a used RV, and you'd like to spruce it up before putting it on the market, contact me. That's my specialty.

If you're thinking of selling your home and you need some items fixed before you put it on the market, contact me.

Or if you are buying a home, and need some minor repairs done to make it your dream home, I can help you with that as well.

New Way of Doing Business

As everyone knows there are tons of handy man ads out there. Well I offer that service to home owners and also thought it might be nice to offer that same type of service to RVers as well.

Someone that will come over and fix that cabinet door or that scratched cabinet, or that bad spot in the floor or most anything that deals with interiors.

Have an issue that can't be handled at your location? Not to worry, I have access to quality service shops in the Lakeland area.
