That would be Erik’s former boss, Maryellen. After a particularly tough work day she joked, “Erik, we should just quit, buy a Winnebago, and drive around the country!” She said it a couple more times over a few weeks and Erik mentioned it to Jeanne one evening, who said, “Hey, do you think we could actually do that?!” Well, Erik started Googling, discovered the Escapees RV Club, and we found out that living, working and traveling full-time in RVs is a thing! And, yes, we could do it. So, we put in place a 4-year plan to prepare for a major Life Change and we stuck to our goals and dreams!
Great summary of your RVing past and present. So exciting! Definitely a different road than Andersons usually take; must have come from your father, the rebel who first left Long Island!
Love following you two on Facebook! Makes me feel like I am there. Also gives me hope that perhaps one day I can make a goal and see it to fruition, especially such a big lifestyle change. So admirable!!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. It doesn’t hurt that we have become campers over the last few years as well.
Enjoyed reading about you and now look forward to meeting you at the next Escapade if that works into your plans!
Congratulations on your new life from also-new full-timers (June 2020 from NH)! Bryan & Eileen @TurnbullsTravels. Hope to see you on the road!
gloria Jean from Calif. I hope to see you in Quartsite in January. It will be my first gathering too. I love your excitement for your new adventures. Keep up the good work.I am an R.V. er since the 90″s and love it.
I travel alone in my 24″ Winabaggo View. I have my Rescue dog along all the time. Since I am alone and her name is Honee. Clever Huh? She came with that name. SOOO I still have my Honee.Hope to meet you in Quartsite Ariz.
I’m so excited to see you guys on the road! I look forward to the day when we can finally meet in person.
