Travel from San Antonio to Corpus Christi, Texas
We drove our coach 163 miles, about three hours of driving, from San Antonio, Texas to Corpus Christi, Texas.
The map route, heading southeast:

Leaving the campground, along the mile of dirt road:

A fuel stop; a later one would have been better, but this location was cheaper:

Paladin on the dash; not something we encourage. He was feeling a bit stressed about travel; sometimes he forgets about it:

I-37 south:

Paladin on the dash again:

Fortunately it wasn’t too far to a planned stop for lunch, which gave him time chillax:

I like it when I spot a roadside diner with adequate truck parking:

This was Kuntry Korner cafe in Pleasonton:

Menu:

Breakfast for lunch; not bad, if a little slow:

Back to our coach:

Onramp from the service road to I-37:

Paladin on the back of my chair:

There were several oil refineries near Corpus Christi:

Our exit:

Roadworks:

Buildings on stilts near the water:

Our destination, the KOA:

Upgraded TST TPMS display
One of the first accessories I purchased for our coach was a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
Recently an RV technology site called TechnoRV announced an upgraded display unit, that is compatible with the older system. The new one has a larger display, and uses a touchscreen instead of buttons next to the display.
Here’s the old unit:

And the new unit:

I also got a weighted base, that attaches magnetically to the unit:

The new unit’s menu:

The old and new units next to each over; you can see how much larger and more clear the new unit is:

Video: 2021-2022 motorhome travel timelapses in less than 6 minutes!
Was the 2022 timelapses video not fast enough for you? Hey, I understand; 38 minutes is quite long, even at 20x the original timelapses speed. This video combines both the 2021 and 2022 timelapse videos, and makes them eight times faster (i.e. 160 times faster than original timelapses), so you can see all our motorhome travel in less than six minutes!
2022 stickers
On the passenger-side slide-out, we have a large sticker with the Sinclair Trails logo, a map of the US showing the states we’re visited, and stickers with the SinclairTrails.com domain name and @SinclairTrails social handle:

The states sticker consists of separate stickers for each state, applied to a base sticker. Our rule is that we have to spend a night in a state for it to count (and only since purchasing our coach). Once we have spent a night in a new state, we add its sticker. So far, we’ve visited 12 of the 50 states:

Visiting Alaska is going to be a major project. And of course we can’t take our motorhome to Hawaii, but we’ll count that just by the next time we visit (and may or may not rent a camper of some sort, depending on how strict we want to be).
On the driver-side slide-out of the coach, we have stickers for each of the National Parks we have visited, that being another of the goals in our travels. So far, we have visited 27 of the 63 parks:

Of course, we’ve also visited numerous National Monuments, National Historic Sites, and other classifications. With 423 parks of various types in the National Park System, not to mention parks administered by states, forest services, etc, we had to cap the memorializing of them somewhere! National Parks are the goal; others are gravy.
However, inside our coach we have a framed board with a wooden map of the US, around which we add stickers (and other objects) for any kind of attraction we visit:

The wooden map has pins for states we’ve visited (in their capitols); the pins feature the state flags:
