You’ve found our little campsite on the web — pull up a chair, grab a drink, watch your step around the fire ring, and make yourself at home.
Camp Run-A-Muck Campfire — the warmest welcome to Captain Weeble’s Travels
I’m Captain Weeble, your camp host, storyteller, part-time RV mechanic, and full-time RV philosopher. This site is where we share our travels, campground tales, and the occasional “what-were-we-thinking” moments that happen when the road takes an unexpected turn. You’d be surprised what kind of wisdom shows up after a few hundred miles and a couple of campfire conversations.
Here you’ll find trip reports, photos, and the occasional campfire reflection from life on the road. Some days everything runs like a dream, and other days the refrigerator goes on strike, the awning takes flight, or the GPS thinks we’re a boat — but that’s all part of the adventure. And, of course, whatever else pops into my head along the way. So settle in by the fire, grab a drink of your choice, listen to the night sounds, and tag along as we wander from one beautiful mess to the next.
So we welcome you to Camp Run-A-Muck, where the stories are true (mostly), the laughter’s real, and the next adventure is always waiting just over the hill.

Finding an RV Inspector in Tucson: The Search Begins
As I wrapped up last week’s blog, I found myself on the hunt for an NRVIA-certified RV inspector. So off I went to the NRVIA website to begin the search. My first stop was A to Z Mobile Services in Tucson, Arizona. Their Google reviews looked solid, so I reached out to schedule an inspection.
And that’s when the first speed bump appeared.
They told me they were booked solid until the 27th. That wasn’t going to work—not even close. I asked if they could recommend someone else, and they suggested Every Inch RV. I contacted them next. No luck there either. They, in turn, recommended Deb’s RV Services, and once again, I was back on the web.
Here’s where things got a little weird.
When I first looked her up, it appeared she was based in Michigan. That immediately made me wonder why an Arizona inspector would recommend someone from Michigan. As it turns out, the answer was buried a little deeper on her website—she was actually in Quartzsite, Arizona, and would be in Tucson during the second week of February. Mystery solved.
I sent her an email to see if she might be available. While waiting to hear back, I noticed she had a YouTube channel, so I watched a couple of her RV inspection videos. Let me just say… thorough is an understatement. That gave me some confidence, and once again, I crossed my fingers.
Debbie got back to me and said she could do the inspection on February 9th. That cut things close—especially if the report came back like the last one and I decided to back out—but she assured me the report would be completed the same day and that she’d walk me through it. That was good enough for me. I told her to go for it. Fingers crossed… again.
