So long story short....we sold the Hitchhiker II and bought a 2017 Arctic Fox 35-5Z and a new Ford F450 to pull it with. Put the house on the market. Sold or donated most of our belongings. Rented a storage locker for a few items. And hit the road on November 1, 2017.
While no longer really RV Virgins, we are slowly remembering things about living and traveling in an RV. We are currently on a journey to find places we really like, especially to spend the winter, and then we will move on to places to spend the summer. Our goal is to stay in areas where we can enjoy daytime temperatures in the 70 - 80 degree range, and evenings that still above freezing.
We spent about a month driveway camping, to get back into the swing of things, and to learn which electrical items you can't run at the same time when you are hooked up to 30 amp.
Then we hit the road - first stop, Thousand Trails in Chehalis, WA. We did not much there but practice setting up and taking down, going over the "check list" and getting acclimated again to the art of living in an RV in a campground.
In the last 2 ½ months, we dashed over the Siskiyous to get down south before it snowed, and have spent time in California, Arizona and Nevada. We are appreciating the mild weather. We are missing our kids and grandkids and friends we left at home.
Up next on this blog: A post of mini-reviews of the places we have stayed.
