Toys – Old

Hershey

Our truck is a 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500HD 4WD dually with a diesel engine. It has the 5th wheel package, High Country trim, and a sun roof. We love the sun roof and use it regularly rather than the AC. To try and keep the front of the camper clean and undamaged we have installed both WeatherTech mud flaps and a Towtector brush to stop rocks, mud, and other debris.

Solly Tude

Our camper is a 2019 Grand Design Solitude 5th wheel. The Solitude line of campers are made for full time RVers like us. It is 41 ft long and has a GVW of 16,800 pounds. Some of our favorite features are: residential refrigerator with ice maker, self leveling system, walk around bed, residential shower, washer/dryer, and central vacuum.

Camera Gear

Nikon D7500

Most of the photos are taken with a Nikon D7500. It is a camera designed for enthusiast photographers, especially good for wildlife. We use 3 lenses: a Sigma 17-50 mm wide angle, Nikon 55-300 mm telephoto, and a Sigma 150-600 mm super telephoto.

Apps

For photo editing in late 2019 we migrated from Adobe Lightroom to Luminar 4. We made this decision in order to move from a subscription based software to one we could own. This is a professional level tool that we are still learning how to use. It has a very intuitive user interface and all of the tools we need.

For trip planning we use RV Trip Wizard.com. It costs $39 per year. we are able to plan our routes and know how many miles we will drive each day. This app also has most of the RV parks in the US and Canada, truck stops, various national stores such as Walmart, Camping Worlds, and very importantly low bridges. It is not for navigation, but for trip planning.

For daily navigation we use Google Maps. It is not big rig capable, but I review our planned route prior to leaving to ensure Google doesn’t route us under a low bridge.
