Hi all,
My wife and I are on the bad side of 65, recently retired, and considering spending some or most of the winter on the road. We've never owned an RV or even rented one... but have booked a Winnebago Fuse (25 ft long on a Transit chassis) for a 4 day rental in mid-October. We plan to drive over to Vermont and spend a night at a state park boondocking and the other nights at Hipcamp sites (private homes and farms, some of which have hook-ups). If we like the RV experience (my SO is a bit wary of making such a commitment to the mobile lifestyle), my hope is to buy a used small MH (i.e., Sprinter or Transit-based) and head to the southwest for the winter months.
We live in a coastal town just 'downeast' of Portland, Maine, so spending a pandemic winter huddled in our condo isn't overly appealing to me. Don't feel safe going to restaurants or even the Y. But we both have some concerns about traveling across the country during this pandemic will be like, so I'll post a thread about this topic elsewhere on this forum. Thanks, and I'll look forward to reading what all you experienced RVers have to say!
