In 2005, we worked with a local company to get the motor home of our dreams. They let us wander the lot and pick a table from this one and seats from that one. Then we had in someone to replace the countertops. Such fun! The best part was that husband had them wire the RV so that we could plug in our computers in six or seven locations, since we didn't know before we left where we'd be most comfortable working. A gentleman came halfway across country to install the dish on the roof that let us upload as well as download.

I didn't love leaving home, so basically I created home in the RV. Queen Anne tables, silver, lantern lighting, incredible organization so that there was a traveling layout and a settled one. Dog beds everywhere.

The intention was to attend the National Association of Broadcaster's meeting in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, husband's fear of heights got us at the Mississippi River. We landed in an RV park and stayed watching the soybeans grow while he searched the internet for a bridge he thought he could go over. We did finally find one. But then we hit another river. So that was it for Westward, Ho!

But we had a wonderfully relaxing trip and the dogs adored having the attention. It turned into a genealogy trip. Most of my time was spent making music videos, as husband had arranged a new computer setup to lure me into the motorhome.

Then husband drove back VERY, VERY slowly. And he never took it out again. So now we have a house addition beside the house.

Very nice. I hated the road, though I stayed in some very interesting places

“husband’s fear of heights got us...”

That’s when you need to dose him with some NyQuil and just drive over the bridge while he’s zonked out!

I spend much of the year (since kung flu lockdowns) boon docking on public lands. And working remotely on my laptop. My RV is completely self contained and I wired it for USB plugs everywhere and a cell phone booster and a WIFI router running internet through my second cell phone line. I usually stick to the Eastern parts of California, Oregon, and Washington with detours to Montana and Idaho. I am good for at least 2 weeks without having to head back for provisions and dumping the tanks. I am a hermit by nature and love it.
