The greatest thing about RVs is that you get to take all your stuff and once loaded you never need to lug it. To say nothing of what you save in time and money by not having to eat out.
Plus the journey is often as good or better than the destination.
What I paid, plus the gas it will use, would pay for a lot of five star hotel nights. But I think it worth it. There aren’t any hotels most of the places I stay.
I rarely stay in commercial RV parks. That’s a lot easier out west where I roam most.

Thank you. Yes, very difficult.
This week is double trouble as we lost our eldest son to suicide last year. His birthday is this week.

I hadn’t thought about a name for her. Of course, like a ship, she is a her.
I’d like to name her after my wife but since I don’t plan to be a loner after this is over that might not be the greatest idea. One idea would be Amelia, after the world famous air traveller. But that’s the name of my great granddaughter. Ideas on other great female travelers?

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.

Two Nikon D5300s for sale. Both in nearly new condition with only about 6,000 shutter activations. Includes full body kit: Nikon battery, charger, Nikon strap, printed manual, eyepiece cover. One box as shown and one refurb box. (I now only buy refurbished Nikon cameras, believing them better than new due to testing. These qualify...they work wonderfully.)
I feel the D5xxx is Nikons most elegant camera because of the fully articulated screen, info screen control system (far superior IMHO to the button based/unreadable green screen of the allegedly more advanced models), and ability to take RAW images. I feel the D5300 is in several ways the finest evolution, with a 24MP sensor, improved info control layout, added button for release mode), WIFI, and included GPS.
