An RV Update

It seems like a lot of things fell into place the moment we closed on our house.

One huge thing that will change for us–aside, obviously, from the whole “unlocation” thing–is that we’ll also be upgrading our tiny, 17’ Jayco hybrid travel trailer to a much, much larger trailer. While we have stayed relatively comfortable for several weeks at a time in our trailer, we’ve never intended to make the tiny trailer our long-term unlocation home.

Saturday, we started making some calls to a few dealers to locate the specific trailer we wanted. After a bunch of calls, lots of questions, and several emails, we finally submitted a deposit with one specific dealer.

About three weeks from now, we’ll prep our little Jayco for its last long trip out to Indiana to be traded for a new fifth wheel.

Very excited and bit anxious–okay, a lot anxious. Hoping everything goes smoothly between now and then!

Envisioning The End

Have you ever wondered what would happen to all of your stuff when you die?

Too morbid?

Okay, have you ever wondered what value your things will have to other people when you move on?

To find out, gather up all of your belongings–all of the things and tools and toys and clothes and accessories of your life and your time–and pile them in your driveway some Saturday morning.

Then, with firm detachment, watch.

Just watch.

To Store or Not to Store

Many full-timers insist that you should never store things. Others say that it’s worthwhile to store heirlooms and such.

Our problem is that we don’t yet have the full-size trailer and need to store a few things until after the house sells and after deer season.

Above represents the first load of things we won’t be offloading just yet and some things that will also go into the next trailer.

Also, no, we aren’t getting a toy hauler – and I’m simply not parting with my V-Star. Her place will be in storage for a short while.

And I don’t know why, but it’s a bit saddening to see her sit and wait for me to come back.
