For years we talked about it but did nothing. Finally a death in the family forced to discuss our dream of RVing. We spent months reading, researching and looking at motorhomes and fifth wheel trailers.

We made the decision to buy a motorhome and lucked into a great buy, our 1989 35' Allegro MH. In December 1997 we sold our home, moved all our stuff into the MH, changed jobs and hit the road, working as fiber optic construction inspectors. We had a ball!

Of course things changed, as they always do, and although we still have our MH we also have a great little cabin in the mountains of north/central Pennsylvania (in the middle of the Allegheny National Forest).

We spent over a year writing freelance articles about buying and living in an RV - the RV Lifestyle in general. So we've opted to publish these articles here to hopefully help others in their search for their dream RV. Read and enjoy!

2008 - Motorcycle Sold 
In March of 2008 I made the final decision....Squirt and his home would be sold. I found new homes for both and bought a car as my toad, appropriately named Polliwog. It's a 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara.

2008 - Solar Added 
I added a complete solar system to the Lily Pad the end of January, 2008. You can read more here.

2007 - BoBo Gone 
In an unfortunate and unpreventable accident, BoBo was hit by a car. I no longer travel with a companion.

2007 - Motorhome Bought 
I hit the road full-time October 26, 2007 in my 26' Tioga (Class C) motorhome - The Lily Pad. I'm accompanied by BoBo, my wonder pup (rescue dog: 1/2 Chihuahua, 1/2 Schnauzer). The tag-along is my fiberglass enclosed Chariot trailer which carries my 2006 BMW F650GS motorcycle, Squirt.

2003 - Motorhome Sold 
As normal for us, things change and we now have sold our motorhome. While I will attempt to maintain links on these pages, I won't be adding anything new. Thank you for your understanding!
