Surprise Me

I have done a fair amount of long distance RV travel.  I started camping in a tent.  Used my brothers Apache popup trailer on many occasions.  Took it all over Colorado.  Finally bought a 28 ft Class A, Itasca Windcruiser.  I have been RVing and camping in most of the Western states.  RVed in my Class A from Banff, Canada to Phoenix, AZ.  I now have a Southwind, Class A ( Jolene <<<Click Here) and a truck with a slide in camper( White Stallion <<<Click Here).  But, I have yet to full time.

I follow a number of full time RVers and try to learn from their experiences.  Here are some that I find quite informative.  I wonder what it will be like for me.

Read about "The Ten Most Surprising Things About Full Time RVing" written by Cheri Ve Ard.  It is very interesting.

This full timer shares with us some of the things we might miss after moving out of our homes and apartments.  I don't know what I will miss most but I think it will probably be:

(1)  All the water I want to use in the kitchen and the bath

(2)  Privacy

(3)  Hot Tub

(4)  Home Laundry

(5) Workshop  (6)  24/7 HiSpeed Internet  (7) Car washing and cleaning

These full timers, Howard and Linda Payne, have been on the road since 2005.  They have one of the most informative sites that I know of.  One of the most useful sections of theirs is the financial breakdown of their cost of RVing.

Odd and Even

Did you know that our highways are even numbered starting from the South and ending in the North.
Odd numbered highways start their numbering on the West Coast and end their numbering on the East Coast.  Highway 101 seems to be a contradiction because there is a Highway 101 in both California and Florida.     For an explanation of this phenomenon you can Click >>> HERE

One of favorite highways has to be Route A1A in Florida.  It could have something to do with  the sand, the sea, the weather, and memories of listening to Jimmy 

Buffett's album years ago.

Have GPS will travel

It would take a long time to travel all these routes, don't you think?  I have been to all the states except Alaska, North Dakota and Maine but the only routes on this map I have traveled in their entirety is # 1 - the Pacific Coast Route and # 11- the Route 66 Route.  Maybe it is time to set some goals.
