Hello!
Welcome to my blog!
Bill and I have always dreamed of traveling and seeing our great country. This dream became a reality in the form of becoming full-time RVers on August 29, 2014 when we closed on our house. In the months leading up to the closing, we purged the 3,000 square foot house of all “stuff”. Some of it we put into a 40′ sea/land container, some was given to our kids, some was given to others, such as our niece, our son’s friend and dog sitter, my cousin, and some was given to charity. We only kept with us what we couldn’t live without, some kitchen items, clothes, toiletries, linens, and a few other misc small things.
We are 52 years young, as of this writing in November 2017. We consider ourselves semi-retired, as in we do not have enough money to be independently wealthy, and we need to do some type of work to produce income to supplement our modest investment income.
We do not consider ourselves to be experts by any means, but we have learned a lot during the past 3 years. We’ve been a lot of places. We’ve done a lot of things. Each person/couple/family does lives this crazy lifestyle their own way, and your mileage may vary, as they say.
One of the best things about this crazy lifestyle is the people we’ve met along the way. Friendships have formed and as unlikely as it sounds, our social calendar is busier now than it was when we lived in one place all the time! We’ve shared amazing experiences with these friends, causing us to bond in ways we could never have imagined.
It is our sincere wish that you enjoy following along with us on our “odyssey” around our great country. Please sign up to receive our email updates, and comment frequently. We also invite you to like and follow us on our Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest pages.
If you would like to know more about us and how we came to be full-time RVers, please feel free to read all more on the following pages:

Thank you for the blog. it will save many hours of research

Hi Michael! Thanks for reading! Heartland sent us the floor but it 1 1/16. I’m sure if you reach out to Heartland they can help you with where to get it.
Wanted to thank you for the detailed post on the floor repair. I am going to undertake an identical repair to my Heartland 5th wheel. I did buy it used and shortly after we saw there was water getting in. Identical situation.
Thank you so much for reaching out! We are happy you found our post helpful! Good luck with your repair!
Hi, my name is Jeff and I saw a post about flex armor and if there were any questions to contact Bill. I am considering flex armor and really want to know if there is any difference between franchises on price, installation, and repairs if needed. Thank you
My husband used to work (over 6 years ago) for RV Armor not the Flex Armor. We really aren’t familiar with that product. Best of luck to you.
