Thanks for the add!
Well after a friend of mine started posting amazing pics of his boondocking trip across America...I've got the itch. Of course I started researching RVs and watching YT videos for days. My head is swimming to say the least!
I'm 56, retired AF and working on my second retirement (chicken houses...over a year left on current contract). I'm thinking I want to plan a trip from here in AR then head to MD where I have family I haven't seen in a few years. Then was just planning on heading west from there.
One main issue holding me back is zero experience with RVing or any type of camping. Not even as a kid in the back yard with a cheap tent. It's something I've always wanted to try but just seemed to find some excuse to put it off.
I have a Silverado 1500 and a Wrangler JK so I have options for a towing vehicle. As far as the RV...it will be myself and my dog (Roxy) so I know I want to keep it small. Minimum requirements are a bed, kitchen and bathroom...I ain't no bear!
I know a pop-up would probably be a good starter but I would be worried about keeping warm in cold weather and this option would probably rule out the bathroom. I like the look of the teardrop trailers but wow...with those options...pretty pricey!
I know I should probably go cheap or rent something then do some local camping before jumping in with both feet first but I guess I've developed analysis paralysis at this point.
Anyway just wanted to introduce myself and start learning from the experienced!
