Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be here. I am just beginning the process of looking for an RV to live in, and travel the country, with my 3 cats. I'm narrowing down exactly what I'm looking for and have lots of ideas of where I want to go, how I can make money while on the road, and hopefully incorporate some animal rescue into my adventures! I've been reading a lot, asking a lot of questions, joining other discussion forums, and learning as much as I can. Mentally I'm ready to go! But financially and physically, not quite yet, just have to be patient. I know it will happen when it is meant to happen.
Peace and Love,
Johanna

Welcome from Kansas, Johanna.
While I have my van, I still need to practice patience while I await my turn to stop the 9-5 routine. It will happen exactly when it's supposed to - just keep your eyes & heart open.
Looking forward to seeing what you select for your new home.

I've been looking since Jan. for a trailer and finally found one at a price I could afford and not much work to be done.
I too will be traveling with either 2 cats & a dog or 3 cats. I also have been working in rescue for many years. But now I will be full timing it and switching from fostering to transporting.
I already have a bucket list that I add to almost on a daily basis. So I pretty much know where I'll be and where I will be going and what roads I will be traveling.
It's not something I had ever planned to do. But one can't live very well on disability. I've been existing. Not living. It's also unfortunate that I need to leave my home. There's plenty of room here to foster cats. I am one of only two cat fosters in the area. Which sucks.
But I also know the difficulties in finding transport to get a cat from point A to point B at a reasonable rate. This will help me put gas into my vehicle.
Don't be too quick to purchase the first trailer you see. Figure out what you can live without (stove, shower, etc) and what you can't live without (stove, shower, etc)
So while you save up the money to purchase your camper, research places you'd like to visit and how you'll get there.
