Hi folks,
My name is George, and I plan to go full-time in a truck camper this summer. I don’t have a truck or a camper yet, but I’ll start searching in earnest once I get back stateside. I’m in Afghanistan right now, and my two-year adventure here will be over in mid-July. I am 39 years old and single without pets. I’m a little scared but a lot excited to be embarking on this adventure.
I will start in New England, head down south to Florida, then around the Gulf of Mexico to Texas, north to Colorado, west to California, and up the West Coast through Canada to Alaska. My trip might take me from the extremes of the Florida Keys to Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Shore. I say, “might” because it’s not written in stone yet, and I don’t plan to force myself to do anything I don’t want to do in retirement. I plan to take my time -- to make it a “journey,” as Bob puts it. I will likely winter in the Southwest and hopefully make it to the 2020 January RTR in Quartzsite (if that happens) before heading north along the West Coast in March or April. I envision arriving in Alaska in early May and spending the entire summer. I think my trip will take about a year. If I enjoy the journey and the lifestyle, maybe I’ll make it permanent.
I really appreciate this forum and learning from others. Once I’ve purchased my truck and camper, I’ll post some pics. Thanks for reading my first post.
