The Most Common Class C RV Problems

Above, at the Moab (Utah) KOA Kampground last summer. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

The motor home I have is classified as a Class C. It is a 2015 Winnebago Minnie Winnie 22R. To date, it has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.

The only problem I have had with it was only recently when the flush valve to the toilet started acting up necessitating the need to replace the toilet. All things considered, I'm very pleased with it. Still, not bad for an eleven-year-old vehicle.

Do It Yourself RV has posted an article on the most common Class C RV problems owners run into. So far, none of the problems listed I have encountered.

They begin it with:

Class C RVs are easy to fall for. They feel more approachable than a large Class A, roomier than a camper van, and familiar enough from the driver’s seat that many new motorhome owners feel comfortable right away.

That first impression is part of the appeal, but it does not tell the whole story. Once you start loading the storage bays, driving in wind, using the cabover space, and keeping up with service, the tradeoffs become easier to see.

A Class C can still be a great RV. The key is knowing where this style of motorhome tends to ask for the most patience.

Millions of Americans Turning To RV Travel This Summer

Above, the RV at Arches National Park last summer. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Millions of Americans are turning to RV travel this summer. Well, you can include me in this. I plan on taking some RV trips this summer, but to places more closer to home this year.

Last summer, a friend and I took a long trip up through Utah to Wyoming. From Wyoming, we went to Montana to see the Little Bighorn Battlefield. From there, we went back into Wyoming to visit Devils Tower National Monument and, from there, to South Dakota to the Black Hills. After that, we headed home through Colorado. It was a long bunch of drives, but we and the RV weathered it just fine. 

MSN posted an article on the millions of Americans planning to do some RV travel.

They begin it with:

As Americans plan their summer vacations, new research from the RV Industry Association’s Travel Survey reveals that RV travel is resonating with travelers looking for flexibility, affordability and outdoor experiences. So much so, that 37 million Americans plan to go RVing this summer.

With ongoing economic pressures, crowded airports, flight disruptions, rising travel costs and broader travel unpredictability, it appears travelers are looking to RV road trips to ease these day-to-day stressors.  

RVing fits the bill for travelers increasingly prioritizing time on the road, trips closer to home and vacations that allow greater control over spending and schedules. The survey showed that 58 percent of leisure travelers report that taking an RV trip is a more affordable way to travel and that Memorial Day and Fourth of July bookings have increased compared to summer 2025.

Target Shooting Tomorrow

Above, the Winchester 62A .22 I inherited from my grandfather. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Now that spring is in full swing, we decided to to some target shooting tomorrow at our shooting area. 

According to the National Weather Service, tomorrow will be sunny with a high of 76°, which is good plinking weather.

Here's the forecast for this week: 

Wednesday

A slight chance of thunderstorms after 3pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 81. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Wednesday Night

A slight chance of sprinkles before 9pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 48. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph.

Thursday

Sunny, with a high near 76. West wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to 10 to 15 mph in the afternoon.

Thursday Night

Mostly clear, with a low around 47. Southwest wind 5 to 15 mph.

Friday

Sunny, with a high near 78.

Friday Night

Mostly clear, with a low around 49.

Saturday

Sunny, with a high near 79.

Saturday Night

Mostly clear, with a low around 48.

For this session, I think that I will stick with .22 LR caliber rifles. It will either be with the Winchester 62A or the Ruger 10/22 (or both). With prices for larger calibers high right now, shooting with the .22 caliber rifles is more economical. 

Hopefully, we won't have any mishaps like the last time.

Silver Jumps To 2-Month Highs

Above, a 2023 American Silver Eagle proof coin. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

There are times when I am glad that I invested in silver when I did. This is one of those times.

Silver has risen to the highest prices since February. 

According to MSN:

Spot silver surged above $85 an ounce for the first time in nearly two months as technical buying and momentum-driven trades fueled a powerful rally that has lifted the metal’s prices roughly 15% this month.

At the time of writing, spot silver (XAG/USD) was up nearly 6% to $85 an ounce, while silver futures for July 2026 deliveries also climbed nearly 6% to $85.6 per ounce. Last week, Spot Silver posted its strongest weekly performance since late February.

Guns That Are Worth More To Owners Than the Market Understands

Above, my Winchester 94 and Winchester 62A. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Some guns are worth more to their owners than what its market value may be.

That's the crux of an article posted by The Avid Outdoorsman. Some guns are worth more to their owners, whether it may be sentimental value or other reasons, than what the market understands.

When I bought my Winchester 94 in 2019, I was looking for one that is pre-1964 and in good shape. I found one and it is my favorite gun. I would not ever sell it. The Winchester 94 is included in The Avid Outdoorsman's list. On paper (and online), the Winchester 94 doubled in price from what I paid for mine. 

The begin it with:

Some guns never look impressive on a value chart. They are not rare enough for collectors, not flashy enough for trend chasers, and not expensive enough for people to treat them like safe queens. If you sell one, the market may shrug and offer you less than you think it deserves.

That is exactly why some guns are better kept than sold. Their value is not always in resale price. It is in how well they fit your hands, how many seasons they have seen, how easily they still do the job, or how many memories are tied to them. These are the firearms that are worth more to owners than the market usually understands.

Sydney Sweeney goes Godzilla in a video at Euphoria. 

Yahoo! Entertainment posted some behind-the-scenes videos of the making of it.

According to Yahoo! Entertainment:

Sydney Sweeney sent Euphoria fans into collective disbelief after one larger-than-life Season 3 scene took over social media timelines. Within hours, viewers on X were repeating the same phrase as the moment became the internet’s latest obsession.

Euphoria fans are saying this about Sydney Sweeney’s Godzilla scene

Several viewers on X described the storyline as a “humiliation ritual” after Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie filmed explicit OnlyFans-style content and appeared in a giant monster-inspired fantasy scene.

One user wrote, “I’m convinced this season of Euphoria is a Sydney Sweeney humiliation ritual,” while another posted, “This production is crazy, can’t lie.”

Trump Releases Government UFO Files

With the release of some UFO files at the order of President Trump, I can't help but think that Russell Azbill, a friend in Jamestown, New Mexico who passed away last October, would be in his element.

He and I used to talk about UFOs and other things (such as Bigfoot) quite often. 

From Reuters:

May 8 (Reuters) - At the order of U.S. ​President Donald Trump, the Defense Department on Friday released dozens of previously classified files on alleged UFO sightings to provide what ‌it called "unprecedented transparency" to the American people, though analysts said many of the documents had already been made public.

The disclosure, opens new tab of documents, photos and videos of "unidentified anomalous phenomena" will be followed by future releases as more materials are declassified, the Defense Department said in a statement.

Upon the release of the initial batch, President Trump said that people can decide for themselves.

Classic Rock Music Monday

The stuff that now passes as "music", particularly rock 'n roll, leaves me cold. So, to start off the week, here's a video of a classic rock artist.

It is hard to believe that 1996 was thirty years ago, but that's where we get this week's entry of Classic Rock Music Monday. Today, we spotlight OMC with their hit "How Bizarre" from that year.

From Wikipedia:

OMC, or Otara Millionaires Club, were a New Zealand music group, then duo, with vocalist Pauly Fuemana later becoming the sole member. OMC was best known for the 1996 hit "How Bizarre", named one of the greatest New Zealander songs of all time by the Australasian Performing Right Association. The full name of the band is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Ōtara's status as one of the poorest suburbs of Auckland.

Cruise Passengers Outraged Over Bahamas Booze Ban

Cruise passengers who relish their alcoholic "adult beverages" are up in arms over a ban to be imposed on election day of the Bahamas. But, they can still booze up aboard their cruise ships.

The New York Post reported:

A temporary alcohol ban will roll out at a Caribbean destination next week — leaving cruise passengers high and dry on shore.

The Bahamas will suspend alcohol sales as the country holds elections on Tuesday, May 12.

A government notice obtained by Fox News Digital says the ban will take place that day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Parliamentary Commissioner is suspending sales of “intoxicating liquor” while polls remain open during that time.

“Any person selling or exposing or offering for sale any intoxicating liquor during such hours shall be deemed to be so doing while not holding a license under the provisions of the Business License Act,” the notice warns.

The restriction covers all Bahamian islands, including private islands operated by cruise companies.

Cruise giant Royal Caribbean confirmed to People magazine that the ban applies to its private island, CocoCay.

Top 10 Old-School Rifles That Refuse to Become Obsolete

Summary:

Top 10 Old-School Rifles That Refuse to Become Obsolete

Before synthetic stocks and digital optics, hunting rifles were built with steel, wood, and pure craftsmanship. These old-school rifles earned their reputation through decades of reliability and real hunting success. In this video, we’re counting down 10 old-school hunting rifles that shaped generations of hunters and still hold their own today. If you appreciate classic design, proven performance, and timeless appeal, this list is a must-watch.

Not So Uneventful Day

Yesterday would have been uneventful except for one little thing.

 We got into a car accident while exiting Grandpa's Grill after we had breakfast.

I was riding in the back seat in Greg Lucier's Subaru Tribeca with his brother Larry in the front passenger seat. We were exiting the parking lot when a pick up truck was driving in front of us in the street. Greg went to apply the brakes and his foot (he was wearing sandals) slipped off the brake pedal and we hit the truck.

Above, the pick-up truck. Photo by Armadn Vaquer.

There were no injuries to either party. The Subaru was drivable, although the plastic front end was knocked off. One part was rubbing on the driver's side front tire. I went to a nearby stationery store and bought a package of bungie cords to tie up some loose parts. After doing so, we were able to drive it back to Jamestown. We put the front end in back of the Subaru. It was basically one big piece and light in weight.

Before leaving, we filed a report with the Gallup Police Department and waited for Greg's wife Marlo to arrive. Larry's dog Niko and I rode back to Jamestown with her. 

Funny thing, a few things came back to me from my days as an insurance adjuster while we were talking to the police officer. 

Guns That Last Longer Than Expected

Some guns are made better than others.

The ones that were designed and made well will last for decades with regular use and maintenance. 

The Avid Outdoorsman posted a list of rifles and pistols that will last longer than expected. 

They begin it with:

A gun does not have to be babied to last. Some firearms get bought as beaters, loaners, truck guns, camp guns, or budget picks, and nobody expects much from them at first. Then they keep working season after season, long after the finish wears thin and the owner stops treating them gently.

That is when a gun starts earning a different kind of respect. Not because it was expensive. Not because it had the loudest reputation. But because it kept feeding, firing, grouping, and holding together after years of use. These are the guns that often last longer than people expected when they first brought them home.

Guns.com: Remembering the Ruger P95

My main defense handgun is my Ruger P95 9mm (pictured above). I bought it in 2011. I had a prior Ruger P89 pistol, but due to tight money at the time, I sold it. 

The P95 is a fun semi-automatic handgun to shoot with a recoil that isn't too jarring. I never had any problems with it.

Guns.com posted an article on "remembering" the Ruger P95. It was produced from 1996 to 2013. 

The article begins with:

Like many of you, I have a special place in my heart for movie guns from my youth. One such gun is the Ruger P series. I was first introduced to the P series by its standout Hollywood roles in ’90s hits such as “Desperado,” “True Lies,” and “Grosse Pointe Blank.” It was often the hero’s gun, and I’ve wanted to try one ever since.

I’ve been asking to test a Ruger P for years, and Guns.com finally sent me a P95 so I could see if it lives up to my imagination.

Wonder Nine

Beyond the movie hype, there is a lot to this pistol. On the surface, it might not look like much, but the P95 and the entire series of Ruger P pistols helped usher in the era of Wonder Nines in the 1980s and ’90s.

The term “Wonder Nine” generally refers to high-capacity, double-stack 9mm pistols developed in that era using modern materials or production technologies. The Glock is most famous, but over 1 million Ruger P series pistol were also produced. This was because they were considered reliable and affordable. When the P85 was released in 1987, it sold for under $300. Today, used P series guns still sell for around the same price.

Lassen Volcanic National Park: Tribes, Trappers, Pioneers, And Eruptions

The first national park I visited was when I was at age 14 with my parents in 1968. It was Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. 

That got me hooked on traveling to national parks over the succeeding years. I visited Lassen again in 2017 during my Great American Eclipse trip. I camped at the Manzanita Lake Campground in my motorhome. 

Above, my campsite at Manzanita Lake Campground in 2017. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

National Parks Traveler posted an article on how Lassen became a national park due to eruptions of Lassen Peak in the early 20th Century.

They start it with:

Native American tribes, fur trappers, pioneers, and prospectors have all wandered around and within the boundaries of what is now Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. Before it was a national park, though, the landscape consisted of two separate national monuments. It took a series of Lassen Peak eruptions between 1914 – 1917 to make national park establishment a “done deal.”

Calibers That Never Got Trendy

Some ammunition calibers are more popular (trendy) than others. There are some that never got trendy but still do serious work.

At least that's the crux of an article posted in The Avid Outdoorsman.

They start off with:

Some calibers get all the attention because they are new, fast, flat-shooting, or attached to whatever rifle or handgun everyone is talking about that year. Then there are the cartridges that never really become fashionable. They do not dominate social media arguments, they do not get constant factory rifle launches, and they rarely show up in the latest “must-have” conversations.

But serious work is not always loud. Some calibers keep showing up because hunters, shooters, farmers, guides, and practical gun owners know what they do. They put meat in the freezer, handle pests, ride in trucks, protect property, and keep working long after trendier cartridges come and go. These are the calibers that never needed to be trendy to prove they mattered.

Yellowstone Bear Attack Near Old Faithful Geyser

Now that spring has sprung, bears in our national parks are out and about. As evidence of this, two hikers were attacked on a trail near Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park.

According to an article in RV Travel:

A bear attack that injured two hikers in Yellowstone National Park this week didn’t happen deep in the backcountry. It happened near one of the most visited parts of the park—close to Old Faithful—on a trail many visitors walk every day.

What happened

According to the National Park Service, two hikers were injured May 4 on the Mystic Falls Trail, not far from Old Faithful. Rangers responded quickly, and both visitors were treated and removed from the area. Officials have not yet released details about the severity of the injuries or exactly what led to the encounter.

Brain-Eating Amoeba Found In Some Recreational Waters

For those who enjoy swimming and water sports in lakes and streams, this should give them some pause.

A new federal study has found that brain-eating amoeba has been found in some recreational waters. 

RV Travel reported:

A new federal study has found traces of the rare but deadly “brain-eating amoeba” Naegleria fowleri in warm recreational waters at several Western national park sites, including Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Olympic National Park, and Newberry National Volcanic Monument.

Researchers analyzed 185 water samples from 40 thermally influenced national park recreation sites between 2016 and 2024 and detected the amoeba in 34% of samples. The organism thrives in warm freshwater, especially hot springs and shallow geothermal waters, and can cause primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a rare brain infection with a 98% fatality rate.

Why You Want A Lever-Action Rifle

Above, friend Nandoh Munoz shooting with his Henry lever-action rifle. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Eight or nine years ago, I was on the lookout for a Winchester 94 that was in .30-30 and a pre-1964. 

In April 2019, the opportunity just fell into my lap when I was browsing in Ron Peterson Firearms in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I saw one on a rack. It looked to be in great shape. I verified that it was a pre-64 rifle online with my phone (it was made in 1962). It was priced just under $500. I decided to buy it.

As I was going to fly to Fort Lauderdale the next day for a cruise, I put it on layaway and picked it up upon my return. It is fun to shoot and is my favorite rifle. 

Silencer Central posted an article on why one would want a lever-action rifle.

It begins with:

Lever Action rifles are one of those special kinds of firearms that have timeless roots in society and modern demand. Many people started with hunting using a lever gun. Growing up in Michigan, I was the odd one out because I started hunting with a Winchester Model 70, while all my buddies were using a Marlin .30/30. Interest fell off a little with some company buyouts and closures. But now lever guns are back in their rightful place as one of the coolest firearms you can own. If you don’t own at least one, chances are good that you want one. Why do you want a lever-action rifle? Because they are cool! 

Why you want a lever-action rifle 

While we can all admit they are cool, there are some practical reasons why you want one. They are often compact, making them easy to maneuver when you’re hunting. They are reliable, too. Unlike a semi-auto rifle that can jam, it is rare for a lever-action rifle to hang up and cause an issue. 

One of the other features of the design that makes them popular is that lever-action rifles are fast. Once you get practiced using one, you can make follow-up shots in pretty rapid succession. With some of the accessory options now being offered both direct from the factories and from aftermarket specialists like MAGPUL and WOOX, you can trick one out just the same as an AR-platform rifle. And unlike ARs, there are no legality concerns with a lever action.  

Also, many lever-action rifles now come with threaded barrels, making it a piece of cake to mount a suppressor and tame the sound output.

New Motorhome Toilet

Above, the new RV toilet. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Like anything else, repairs to a vehicle are inevitable. Only I was lucky that the inevitable took eleven years to happen.

During the Lost Dutchman clampout last month, the toilet in my motorhome wasn't acting right. Flushing water didn't come out as strong as it had. 

Then, a few days after the clampout, I stayed one night at a KOA Kampground in Albuquerque. I hooked up the motorhome to city water. I didn't notice any problem at first until I flushed the toilet. The water came out at strong as ever. Later, I went back into the bathroom and noticed that the toilet bowl was almost half full and the water did not stop filling it. I went outside and unhooked the city water. 

It was my guess that it was either the water pump or the toilet was causing the problems. 

Last week, I brought the motorhome to the RV dealer to see what the problem was. After a few days, they told me that it was the flush valve and other things that went bad. A new toilet was needed. It was ready for pick up yesterday.

Yesterday, I rode into Albuquerque with Greg and Larry Lucier as they had medical appointments in town. They dropped me off at the RV dealer and, sure enough, the motorhome was ready. I tested the toilet before leaving the premises and it worked fine. I drove back the 100 miles back to Jamestown. 

As I first mentioned when I began this blog post, it took 11 years for something in the RV to go bad. I feel lucky. I've always said that the motorhome was the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. I still stick by that. 

Sadie's of New Mexico Now At The Albuquerque Sunport

During my trip to Houston, Texas last month, I took flights to and from the Albuquerque Sunport.

The airport terminal was remodeled over the past few years and appears to have been completed.

I noticed one thing new in the terminal: a Sadie's of New Mexico Mexican restaurant. Sadie's is my favorite Mexican restaurant when I am in Albuquerque. 

Should I have need for food while at the Albuquerque Sunport in the future, I'll be sure to go to Sadie's in the terminal.

20 of the Most-Trusted Hunting Rifles

Above, the venerable Winchester 94 made the list as a top deer rifle. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

I am not a hunter, nor do I play one on TV. But I do have several friends who hunt in New Mexico.

While I am not a hunter, I do understand the need for it. Also, I am not versed on what makes a good hunting rifle. Fortunately, there are those whose expertise in hunting can recommend what constitutes the most-trusted hunting rifles.

AOL has posted a list of 20 of the most-trusted hunting rifles. 

They begin it with:

When it comes to hunting, trust in your rifle matters just as much as skill in the field. These are the rifles American hunters rely on when the shot counts, from proven classics like the Remington Model 700 to modern platforms built for precision and durability. What sets them apart is not just performance on paper, but years of real-world use in tough conditions. These are the rifles that have earned their reputation the hard way.

To determine the most trusted hunting rifles in America, History Computer reviewed various historical and military sources. We included supplemental information for each rifle regarding the type, common calibers, primary game use, accuracy reputation, price tier, and ultimately why hunters trust it.
