So it begins! The next few weeks we will be testing "mini retirement."
Our objective is to see how living, working, and exploring-
roaming the road in a motor home- really impacts our lives. We will apply the principles
of computer science; "Hardware" that's Dennis,
and "Software" that's me, Deborah; to determine the outcome.
Come join us for our experiment!

RV 2.0 New Adventure


Well as you know we were only home 2 days from our RV 1.0 experiment. We were up to our eyeballs in laundry and unpacking when after a few phone calls decided to head to Florida. Our grandson is due to arrive very soon and our daughter-in-law has been very busy with home schooling, and the hectic life of balancing a home, children and due to have a third child in the heat of the summer.. She could use a break, put here feet up relax and sip some lemonade. So we are hear in Florida to help when they need us with our two adorable granddaughters.

As I mentioned in the closing blog of RV 1.0, Dennis's sister Theresa & her husband Robert have been more than gracious to loan us their 2003 Dutchman Classic 40 ft three slide 5th wheel. They even took their whole afternoon yesterday and delivered it to our site at Hannah Park and set it up. That is true love. Robert made it look so easy. Thank you Robert your the best!
The fifth wheel! See the fans! So cool at the site.
The “camper” is very nice. It has all the comforts of home. As you see in the pictures Theresa made sure we got the outside setup. To most campers the outside is where it is at! You can enjoy the scenery or as we do sit in these amazing outdoor recliners (Theresa got them from Sam's), log into your clear spot and surf the net, study for your ALCS renewal or write your blog.

We will say this camper is much nicer than our rental. For one it is larger. It has very comfortable sofas and the bed sleeps well. However, if your 6 feet tall like Dennis you have to be mindful in the bedroom to duck. Part of the bedroom in the 5th wheel is in the over hang. It is roomy because it has a slide out but the ceiling height is lower.
Main living area with slide oops can;t see flat screen!

Theresa has the camper stocked very well. She has done a lot of camping so you has figured out what you need to have the most enjoyable experience. We are making notes on all she has stocked with so we can add that data to our list of “must have's.”

Hide away bed and dinning area!
Well stocked kitchen!
Cozy queen size bed!

As we are waiting on the arrival of our grandson (by the way today is “Labor Day”); by the way, a good day to have a baby! HINT HINT!! So while we wait for the call to go and get our granddaughter's we are first studying and also looking for the RV to start our new adventures. We went a couple of days ago to a lot in the Florida heat and looked at about 8 or 9 Class A'. This was time well spent. It is allowing us to look at a variety of RV types and styles to assist us in our data collection. We will keep you apprised of how the looking goes. In the meantime we will be blogging about our 5th wheel experience at the beach, Oh yeah did I mention that our camp site is a very short ride on our bike to the ocean. We rode there this morning. The ocean waves and breeze this time of year is great! This is the life!........Better close and get ready for a cookout.......Software
