Hello from Phoenix!

MotorhomeMae · Oct 4, 2019

Hi everyone! My name is Mae and I am in the planning stages of RV life!

Basically, I already have a rig chosen, I already have pretty much everything planned and I am currently downsizing this month into a smaller place, but I'm not in a position to purchase my RV until the end of May when I plan to start my full timing. However, I am super excited for this transition to the nomad life!

I came here because I would love to find some traveling friends and figured I would start building relationships before I hit the road

About me: I'm 37 (I'll be 38 in January), I live in Phoenix, and I will be traveling with my little old lady chihuahua. I will getting a class C and plan on heading north for the summer and then make my way to the east coast for fall (it's been FOREVER since I have seen fall colors!) and then down across the south for the winter then I thought I would hit Route 66 in the spring. After that, it will be wherever my heart takes me!

So, HI! I am glad a community like this exists! Can't wait to get to know you all!

Welcome. I'm also a Phoenix area resident in the planning stages. I'm a little further along than you, having recently bought my cargo trailer I am just starting to convert and my tow vehicle I bought in February. But as a life-long native of Arizona, I don't plan to wander too far. (Maybe that'll change. Who knows?) My plan is to stay in the west and out of Commiefornia. I just turned 51, which is still considered young for this group, but am using my disability funds payout and continuing income for my sustenance. A common thing here.

Hello fellow desert dweller!

I have been here for 28 years now and I love my city, but I think there's just so much to see and do that I can't stay around here much longer! [emoji23]

I do plan to be a snow bird and come back for holidays with the family, but definitely plan to see all the things [emoji7]
