House Car

Andy and I bought an RV today! A 2004 with only 16,000 miles - a Coachman 27' Freedom - very basic but inexpensive!

I will post some more pictures tomorrow. We need to clean it first! :) Andy is going to take out the carpet in put in some wood floors. There is a few more things we will do in the next 30 days - fix a blemish on the outside, remove the decals (so bad!), slip covers, new mattress and new curtains.

One of the great things about RV living is getting rid of all our stuff. When we left Portland we narrowed our belongs to whatever would fit into our Pathfinder, 4x8 U-Haul(mostly tools, sewing machine and our bikes) and the 16' POD we left in Portland. Now... we need to drive out to OR to empty the POD. Some things we MUST keep - Grandma Ruth's paintings, Skis, Snowboard, Drums and some of our winter cloths. Everything else....will be left - sold, donated or put into consignment. Reducing our "stuff" is greatly reducing my stress level!

The next 2 months we will be in....NY, PA, MD, IN, MS, OR, CO...and those are just the ones we know for sure!

  1. Wow, Wendi you are quite the adventurer. Sounds like fun way to see America in the process. I do have a question... if you are in an RV visiting OR, CO and heading to PA and NY don't you have to pass through OH. You're always invited to park it outside and stay with us a night or too. FB me! ~Mike and Heather
