Schneid RV Travels

We arrived at Bangor Maine on 10 August 2026. We had an appointment scheduled with a mobile Repair guy to fix our leveling system on Tuesday morning. He ended up changing our right front jack stand and that fixed the problem. Over the next couple of days, we got other maintenance things done like haircuts and grocery shopping in Bangor. We went out to dinner on Thursday and were treated to a nice double rainbow when we walked out to go home. We had brought in umbrellas b

On Monday 3 August 2026 we drove from Gaspe Quebec to Campbellton New Brunswick. It started raining about a third of the way into our trip. We were happy to finally arrive even though we had to set up in light rain. It was just good to be there. Being tired and not having anything defrosted to cook, we ate dinner at the restaurant attached to the campground office. It was closing at 7pm so we went at 6pm. We are on Atlantic Time this week so an hour ahead of EDT. On the

On Monday 27 July 2026 we drove from Les Mechins Quebec to Gaspe Quebec. We stopped to see two lighthouses on the way. The first lighthouse we stopped to see was the one in La Martre and the second one was in Madeleine Centre. The one in La Martre looked freshly painted but we just took a few pictures and kept driving. The one in Madeleine Centre was in dire need of some TLC and with parking being tight, we just kept going. We stopped for lunch about an hour from our nex

We drove to Les Mechins Quebec on Monday 20 July 2026. We stopped in Rimouski Quebec for our 11am appointment at Caravane Rimouski. Patrick was our technician and he determined right away that at least one of our 4 fuses for the 4 stabilizer jacks was loose. He made sure they were all in all the way and then he reset the leveling system. Auto Level worked when Patrick tested it, so we felt like the problem was fixed. Patrick also showed Steve how to bring each jack down

We drove to Kamouraska Quebec on 13 July 2026. We stayed at Camping Le Rayon De Soleil (Camping in the Sun's Ray) for one week and Kamouraska was our base as we toured the area. The beginning of our week there started out with a few inconveniences. A “Perform Service” light came on in the truck on our way to Quebec, so we needed to get that diagnosed. When we were setting up after arriving, our leveling system didn’t work. Fortunately, we were in a pretty level site, so

We drove to St. Agatha Maine on Monday 6 July 2026. We were booked to stay at Lakeview Camping Resort and it certainly was a beautiful view of Long Lake. We got settled in a little after 4pm since we made two stops enroute. One stop was to fill up the truck and one stop was to grocery shop. The view from our back window for the week... Tuesday 7 July we didn’t go out till after lunch since we slept in and went for a walk around the campground. We took the National Sceni

We left Bitsy's house in Corea Maine on Monday 29 June. We left after lunch as Steve had taken our truck in to Ellsworth for a diagnostic and Anita had gone with Bitsy to see a cabin for sale in Beddington. Thankfully the truck issue ended up being a fuse that had gone bad on the suspension system, so it was replaced and the service engine light went off. Anita and Bitsy got back to the house a few minutes after Steve and it was about noon, so we had lunch and then headed

We gave it the college try to get a campsite inside Acadia National Park at Schoodic Woods Campground, but it was not meant to be this year. On 21 June 2026, we arrived at Sullivan Maine to stay at Acadia Seashore Camping & Cabins for 4 nights. This campground was only a few miles outside the national park, so we went into Acadia just about every day. On Monday 22 June we did two weeks worth of laundry and re-stocked our groceries. Bitsy, our friend from Maryland who also

Temp was 40 degrees at the top with sustained winds of 60mph and a gust of 104 mph about an hour before we arrived... Well the Escapade 2026 is over, but our fun in Fryeburg Maine wasn't over. Most folks left on the Friday and Saturday, but a few of us stayed till Sunday. Friday evening one of the campers who stayed invited everyone for a potluck/happy hour from 5pm-6:30pm. I was amazed at all the people who came. We had about 30 people, I'd say, and everyone had a great

We arrived in Fryeburg Maine on 12 June 2026 to attend the 2026 Escapade 14-19 June. It was 90 degrees with high humidity, very unlike what we know of Maine. It cooled down by Monday, with temps in the mid 70's. When we had signed up, we opted to arrive two days early and stay two days after most left. Since it was our first event of this kind, we thought it would be less stressful to allow ourselves extra time. We got there after 2pm on that Friday and they let us in ev

We left Watkins Glen New York on 10 June 2026 and drove to North Hudson New York for two nights, leaving us one day to site see. We decided to drive to the Ausable Chasm, Lake Placid, and Tupper Lake then head back to North Hudson. With other stops we made along the way like at the Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb and an old lodge in Upper Works New York, where Teddy Roosevelt was when he got the call about President McKinley being near death, our one day was full.

We drove to Watkins Glen NY on 7 June 2026. We stayed at Watkins Glen State Park, and it was a little scary getting to the campground with having to drive through downtown in lots of traffic. We finally made it and then had to wiggle our camper into our campsite. I say “wiggle”, because there was no room to maneuver with a narrow street and trees to avoid. We got settled in and set up then went out to see the town. Watkins Glen seems to be a touristy place for Seneca Lak

New York Welcome Center - 5 June 2026 Chautauqua Lake We drove from East Harbor State Park in Marblehead Ohio to Allegany State Park in Salamanca New York on Friday 5 June. We had officially started our trip up to Fryeburg Maine for the 2026 Escapade. The Escapade dates are 14-19 June, but we opted to arrive early (12 June), so we still had plenty of time to get there. After we got set up at Allegany State Park, we went to check in and the park agent gave us some “must see

We arrived at East Harbor State Park on Lake Erie Marblehead Peninsula Ohio on Sunday 31 May 2026 to stay for five nights. We wanted to go out on Lake Erie for walleye fishing one day and we had made a reservation for Wednesday the 3rd of June. East Harbor State Park is a beautiful place with lots of walking and hiking paths, birding, bicycling and boat launches. Our time here has flown by! On Monday 1 June, we drove into Port Clinton to see the charter boats coming in.

Jerry & Debbie with us - Caesar Creek State Park - 28 May 2026 On 27 May 2026 we drove to Waynesville Ohio to stay at Caesar Creek State Park for four nights. We wanted to see friends, Jerry and Debbie, and visit the National Air Force Museum in Dayton. We had met Jerry and Debbie last 4th of July (2025) in Seward, Seldotna and Homer Spit Alaska. We became fast friends and have kept in touch texting. They're good down to earth people and we enjoy being with them and sharin

24 May 2026 was an interesting travel day. We started out in Coldwater Mississippi and within 40 minutes we had traveled in three states with reaching Tennessee and Arkansas within less than 50 miles. Our trip north continued and we eventually traveled through Missouri and Illinois before reaching our destination of Elberfeld Indiana. So that day we traveled in 6 states! We had reached Anna Illinois by lunch time and we stopped at the Trail of Tears Rest Area to have our p

We arrived at Memphis South Campground in Coldwater Mississippi on 21 May 2026. We were booked for three nights here and we wanted to see Memphis Tennessee one day while we were here. Although the weather forecast showed more rain chance on Friday than Saturday, we opted to do our Memphis experience on the Friday. We lucked out and didn't need the umbrellas we carried. We had to get fuel and propane while we were out and about, so we found a propane refill place first. N

We arrived in Henderson/Breaux Bridge Louisiana 7 May 2026 for a two week stay to see family and friends. Anita also wanted to introduce Steve to a couple of favorite restaurants and we played tourists one day to show Steve the area. Anita was amazed at how much the city of Lafayette, where she grew up, has grown and changed. We enjoyed seeing family and friends that Anita hadn't seen in over 20 years for some. Anita's first cousin Phyllis came to see us at our camper on

Texas is a large state, so it took us a few days to get from New Mexico to Livingston Texas for our annual doctor appointments. We stopped at San Angelo State Park in Texas for two nights and then Waco Texas for two nights, before arriving in Livingston. We saw all the doctors and Steve got injections of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in both knees on 15 April. We both got clean bills of health from all the check-ups, so we're good on doctor visits until Steve is ready to see

Highlight of our two stops in New Mexico We spent 9 nights in New Mexico on our way to Texas. Two nights were spent at City of Rocks State Park in Faywood NM, then one week at The Ranch, an SKP Co-Op in Lakewood NM. City of Rocks State Park is amazing! The campground is literally among these huge rocks and it’s very quiet. It is located next door to natural hot springs at Faywood Hot Springs Resort. We got a reservation for a soak in a hot spring at 7pm the day we arrived
