I am new here. A little about myself - in my mid forties and have always had the travel bug. A single mom with two children. My son, the oldest finished college and joined the army. The younger one is in high school.
Would live to go full time once she goes away to college. The idea is that she would join me at breaks. This would be in 2 years. When the children when much younger and (they had little say in the matter) I have done really long trips in my suv, from north to south on 95 and 1 and then again east to west from the DC metro area and back. Would fold down the seats at the back and put down a quilt for them to sleep, tent or sleep in motels at night and I would catch up on work at night, Best trips ever.
Started doing the research, reading through forums etc. I had my heart set on a Roadtrek. I know some of you ladies out there drive much larger rigs but I think the RT would suit me just fine. I work 100% virtually for a company and I plan to continue while RVing. Hopefully I continue to work for them.
Now the nice part -- I had rented a RT a little while ago and loved it. Thought I would save up and buy an RT that was 4 - 5 years old some time next year for trips long and short until I could go full time.
While checking out RTs across the area, came across one that a retired couple own in the area .. well taken care of .. some 30K plus miles .. all receipts for maintenance..and long story short, I bought one now.
OO hoo .. she is mine and just got her home.
