Our RV Quest
So many RV's to choose from
RV or Bust - This site is about our search for the perfect RV and the helpful people that we meet along the way; the dealers, the owners, the part-timers and the full-timers, the 5th wheelers, the luxury motorhome set, adventurous cabovers, toyhaulers and the hardiest of all, the pop-up people. As a baby boomer husband and wife that just turned 60 we are looking forward to the day (just about two years from now) where we can thumb our nose at corporate America and discover the real America on the open road in our perfect RV.
RV as home or as weekend warrior
Stop! Look, then look some more - Over the last year and a half (mostly weekends) we have toured the insides of at least a thousand RV's, sat in hundreds of slide-out dinettes, pretended to prepare meals (checking counter space) in just as many kitchens and squinted our eyes while trying to imagine the view (out those gorgeously expansive windows) as being that of the ocean or forest. Takes a vivid imagination, I know, but those days will come. Who was it that said, "if you picture yourself there, it will happen"?
Get to know different kinds of RV's
Once we decided that the RV life would be a big part of our retirement we formulated a three year plan to research the in's and out's of RV living that first had us addressing our mis-conceptions. For example: We didn't know a slide out from a pop up and we certainly couldn't use a public restroom - yuck! I will never forget the first RV we looked at was a 35 foot beauty and when my wife saw the bathroom in it she just about pulled out her checkbook right there on the spot! From then on we began to wonder if three years would be enough! (more…)
