Here’s a little background for those who don’t know the whole story. About 10 years ago Ron and I thought it might be fun to drive across the US once I retired in 2011. Nothing fancy – just a mattress in the back of a minivan and the great outdoors, birding, camping, eating in fun, local places along the way. Well, 2011 came and went and I just wasn’t ready to retire, so I kept on working and the plans began to get more and more elaborate. We soon started researching pre-owned conversion vans on line and upped our expectations significantly, looking at 3-5 year old Roadtreks to buy when I retired in 2013.
But that year also came and went and I continued to work at the job I loved. Meanwhile we visited a couple of RV shows and decided we should buy a new van with all kinds of bells and whistles – solar panels, retractable awnings, AC, etc. – and take it on the road early in 2015. Needless to say, life happened and that year, too, passed without the ultimate road trip.
But here we finally are now, mid-2017, with our brand new Roadtrek Zion parked on the street ready to take a shake-down cruise for a couple of weeks up the New England coast to see the puffins! We’ll keep you posted
