Kirby retired in 2005 when we left California and headed east to buy a boat and sail the Atlantic. Well, it is almost my turn to retire too! So when I retire we aren't going to buy a new boat but we are going to buy an RV.
Kirby searched and searched for the perfect truck to pull our fifth wheel (that we don't have yet - which comes first? The rv or the truck? The truck!) He knew exactly what he wanted and the only one he could find was in Punta Gorda, Florida. So off he went on Monday and returned to Jake and I on Friday with - GORDY! Our new Chevy truck.
Gordy is a Chevy Silverado 2500 - 2 wheel drive, short bed. I guess that is not in too great a demand but is perfect to pull the rv we plan.
So now the search for the fifth wheel can go into high gear. It is fun and it is frustrating. We already had to decide between fifth wheel and motorhome. For us the 5th wheel won but it was a hard decision as both have great advantages. We had friends with both and they helped so much with advise and information.
I hope you will enjoy my saga as we find our new home and begin our journey! Stay tuned. Finally some adventure!! Yea!
This is big news! How exciting. Can I come? :)
ReplyDeleteI grew up camping, I think I may have been 6 or 7 when my parents got the first of many campers. Dad never wanted the motorhome, although Mom always thought that having one would be like camping in a mansion. Dad was more rough and tumble and having a vehicle to carry all all the kids and toys was more appealing to him than towing a tiny car behind a bus. Their last camper was a 5th wheel. Probably the smallest on the market, but perfect for them, and still enough room if the kids and a grandchild or two wanted to tag along. Y'all are going to have so much fun.
