I thought I'd drop in and at least write something. Nothing going on to report as far as RV developments. I have decided it is too much trouble to sell some of my stuff online, so I have decided to give to goodwill or some local charities as I downsize my possessions. I do this annually anyway so there is really not that much to do.
My biggest job is converting important paper files to PDF's to store on my computer and external hard drives, along with converting my music to digital from a "zillion" cds and cassettes.
Have I decided exactly what I want to buy? No, I haven't. I have almost ruled out a trailer being towed by my 4Runner. So it's between an A and a C. It would be easy to buy a Class A and tow the 4Runner but there are enough things that I like about a Class C to keep me from making a decision at this time.
It's great weather here in the "tropics" of Southern Indiana, cold at night nice (45's) during the day. I am in the mode of preparing for the holidays, College Football Bowl games along with all of the college basketball games they are now showing on tv.
Reading some of my followers, I see that Don is traveling through the south now and headed for Arizona. Glen is back on the road and found a great place it seems in the panhandle of Florida. Shoeless Joe is battling rain and cool temps at his winter spot in Texas. I haven't seen anything from "4 Windows & a View" since she traded in the 24' Class C for the 40' Class C. I'm interested in how that change in RV's works out for her. Sue and the hounds are boondocking in Arizona in the Casita, she seems to be really enjoying those solar panels she had put on a few weeks ago. "Me and My Dog" is enjoying the winter spot in Quartzsite. I love her pictures and the stories of Katie traveling.
Wandrin' just made an interesting decision about his phone upgrade. I just did that last weekend but unlike him, I could not resist upgrading to an iPhone4. I went from an iPhone 3GS to a 4. Yes, a 4...thought I was getting a 4S, wasn't paying attention and realized it a few days later. I have 2 weeks to return the iPhone if I don't like it but after reading about the difference between the 4 and 4S and what I use mine for, I decided to keep the 4. It's not a big deal and probably more than I need anyway since I have an iPad. The iPhone 4 still has a great camera at 5 pixels.
There are a lot more blogs I read than I talk about in the previous paragraph but those are from the top of my head. I read all of these blogs and love hearing about all of the travels, the pictures and even some of the maintenance problems. I can only learn from that type of information.
For those on the road, I enjoy reading about your experiences and seeing your pictures. As always, be safe out there.
Donating your items is a great idea. There are so many in need. There is also Big Brothers and Big Sisters who always need donations as well, or battered women. Some Humane Shelters have 2nd hand stores to.
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest checking out the avanti 2806. In my opinion, this RV is the best of all worlds in RV'ing. It offers a full size bed (unlike a lot of smaller RVs), lots of CCC (cargo carrying capacity), great TVs and lavish "euro" interior styling.
ReplyDeleteThe reason we chose the Winnebago View was because of its really nice interior "euro styling". Many new RVs have that boring, boxey, fake wood, cheap looking interior and fixtures.
The avanti and View are different.
Good luck and I agree... if you can do it now... do it. No sense in "screwing around" like you mentioned.
If I could convince Herman to full time, I would. He's more into having the "American Dream" that we're lead to believe we all should strive for. Some would say we have already achieved it. When is enough $, enough $?
I think it's great that you are donating your items rather than throwing them away. We have a small resale shop in town that all proceeds go towards families in need. I think it's a great cause & do shop there from time to time. In fact, it's where I got my walker for my recent surgery - brand new for $15bucks! Gads, I sound like I'm at least 85 years old now & I'm not that close! haha
ReplyDeleteI've been hemming over some decisions over my RV lately. I might do a blog about it soon. I still want the RV to live in, but we're getting a bit crowded in my little one.
