Cool Full Time in Canada

In introduction, we are so pleased to be here! We recently sold our home and all in it, squeezing ourselves into a 26.5' Okanagan Eclipse and left Alberta for the British Columbia Interior.
We have a bag full of dreams and open hearts. There are many hardy Canadians wintering in the north, as far up as Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray. It can be done with the right attitude and the right preparations and expectations.
We are tucked in for this winter in the south Okanagan and enjoying a wet and rainy December.
We have started writing about our journey into a full time life and why we chose it. We invite you to visit our site and read about our journey.

Thanks for having us!

Hi There, it's great to hear from you. I used to live in Vernon and also Armstrong. Maybe we shall meet one day when you return. Our best friends are in Vernon. I would love to learn more about the price of RV lots in that area and your input if you care to share or private message.
Thank you

Hi Vancouver Island

We stayed over there in October, first at Oceanside in Saanich, then down to Westbay Marina. Our daughter is in the Military and we were a block away. What a beautiful spot, we just loved every minute of it.
