Auntiem that looks like a cool ride. Are you going to tow a car for when you want to explore an area? After seeing the size of your vehicle, I am rethinking my dream travel ride. If you get up around Rochester NY, let me know, it would be fun to meet you.
I do want to tow a vehicle and am thinking of a standard transmission Jeep or other small 4X4 that I can use when parked. I have friends in NY, and hail from Ithaca originally, so there is a very good possibility that you will see me at some point.

Thanks Sylvia, although my adventures will be nothing compared to yours.

Enjoy your new movable home! While my wife and I still have a number of years working before we retire, we both want to do just what you are. Have fun! What about "Rock Hound"?
I second rock hound!

Small motorhome? I've seen houses smaller than that! Love to see some inside pics. Anyway... congratulations and enjoy your travels. I think "Rolling Stone" is a great name. Definitely a name with stone in would be appropriate (No stone unturned?).

My buddy who married my wife's younger sister used to have a motor home. We went on a few trips with them. I told my wife I would like to get one. She said no way, When on vacation she didn't want to do any cooking or cleaning. She said we can stay in a lot of hotels and eat in many good places for the money we would spend on a motor home. I had to agree. My wife passed away it will be two years ago in march. So now I travail with my son and his wife. We will be in Williamsburg Va. over Christmas.

We called ours Harvey because my 4 year old grandson thought that was what we said when we said: RV

I looked for a long time for this vehicle and just... (show quote)
Very good choice. We have had all kinds of camping vehicles over the last 45 years. The one we liked best and kept the longest was a 21 foot Minnie Winnie. We put nearly 100,000 miles on it over ten years, and sold it for a good price because of it’s great condition. It was on a Ford. It was before they did slides. I towed a 21ft Searay behind it.
We replaced our Arctic Fox pickup camper and trailer with the critter in the photo below. The layout is similar to yours but a little shorter. The camper sold in two days but we still have the trailer on consignment.
Alas, we haven’t been able to use it other than my trip to pick it up in Montana. The pic is on the way back to ID with it. My wife had problems developing as it was being built. She was diagnosed on Oct. 5 with ALS and only has a few months left. She is completely paralyzed now so will never be able to use. But I plan to head out for travel therapy as soon as this is over.
