Dealerships
We went to see RV/trailers at our local dealership, Hawleys RV’s. It was a cool morning but it was really nice going in and out of a lot of rigs. It was amazing how little they are in person from all the layouts we saw on the internet. We figured out what would absolutely not work for us and stayed with all that would work. We’ve decided NOT to get a pull trailer but to stay with the 5th wheel. More control on towing and more room inside. The large RV homes may be a possibility, but leaning more away from them because of pulling a smaller car behind. We also decided on a 3 slide out unit. It gives more room and better accessability when parked for a long period of time.
We decided to check out the Ford dually trucks. The Ford is huge and impressive. We started it up, but didn’t drive it. Lots to learn about what truck we’ll need, but we’ll need to know what rig we want first. Back to the computer for more information.

What Now?
Where do we start? Websites and local bookstores. We started gathering a lot of information and books on what kind of rig we’d like to travel in. There’s a lot of info on the forums and books written by those on the road.
First: What is our lifestyle now and how would we do the same in an R
Second: What can we do now to prepare?
We gathered more info, every waking moment if not at work, we have our computers on forums or blogs or reading a book. The first book we read was Movn’ On by Ron & Barb Hofmeister. Several up front question were answered, like how to get rid of your stuff. I found myself going around our 1400 sq ft condo thinking what can I get rid of without a lot of money lost. I started cleaning out drawers and taking items that was never opened to the senior citizens building where my mom lives. Every thing I touch I ask the question will we need it on the road?
