We have gotten home from Yuma, our first trip with Van and Wally. Adding a puppy and a smaller rig at the same time takes a little adjustment.... OK, quite a lot of adjustment, but we did it! We drove the 5 hour trip on less than $100 in gas, a change from the Class A that we can get used to. We fit nicely in the park site and took a lot of questions from fellow campers who have also thought about going smaller. "That is so cute!" was the common remark. This from folks who know the joys and hassles of a Class A.High points of the first trip with Van:
- Sitting behind the rig to watch TV and the stars while Wally finds a nice spot to rest in the sand.
- Creating a porch where Wally can relax off-leash between Van and car.
- Traveling light.
- Cooking light.
- Terrie DRIVING! but not too much. We just proved it was possible for me to drive the new rig.
- Packing/unpacking in the condo parking lot. No more traipsing back and forth across town to the RV park to get ready for a trip.
- No more RV storage fees.
Highlights of Yuma trip:
- Thanksgiving dinner with fellow Escapees.
- Meeting other Escapee dog owners at the 7 acre dog park.
- Swap meet shopping.
- Shopping in Mexico.
- Happening on a children's parade in Mexico.
