RoadtripsAndCampfires
Well-known member
Hi all, looking forward to getting to know and talk to you here. I am new to the forum but have read Bob's posts for many years and recently have been subbing to his YouTube channel. When folks ask questions I often post a link to a video in which Bob has already answered that LOL. I've also been following a few others out there.
So, about me. RoadtripsAndCampfires is our website, that would be me, Christine and hubby, Wayne. He's still working so I'm the one on the PC, etc. most of the time. There is more info about us at the website but I'll say a little here.
We are long-time campers and have been planning on taking off for a full-time adventure when Wayne retires (he wants to work as long as possible to increase that SS monthly $). Originally we planned to do it for one year but our list of places to travel to has doubled in the planning stage so now we are saying 2 years. We are not planning past that as we will see when that time comes.
We bought a 1989 Dodge 350 Class B high-top camper van years ago and have been restoring it. The plan was to travel in that after living in Colorado and experiencing winter snow we decided we want a 4x4 and bought a truck and plan to get a trailer soon. The Dodge is and has been "my" everyday vehicle and I have refused to get rid of Jelly Bean until I finish some things I started. As I get closer and closer to getting her done I am getting sadder and sadder. This is the 2nd Class B we've owned (I had one when Wayne met me and that was my everyday car also) and I think they will always be my favorite "car." Yesterday I finished the new front curtains and I hope to have the cab carpet and new doghouse cover installed yesterday LOL. Sigh - it's hot and hard to work outside these days.
Our initial plan is, after we visit family in TX, to start at the tip of CA and travel to the tip of Oregon. From there depends on the time of year and weather. We won't know that until we know when take off day is. In the meantime it is downsize-downsize-downsize. I did a short blog on that.
We are the kind of RV folks that like to bring the comforts of home for the out of doors so we are looking for a short dual axle trailer (more CCC). I want a short one I can sprinkle water on when I get there and it expands like a wet sponge - but who doesn't?
Glad I found the forum.
