We have traveled/vacationed in a motor home since 1983. 30 years! After retirement, we lived in a motor home for 10 years - 24 hours a day/7 days a week/365 days a year. We absolutely LOVE the lifestyle. When we bought into The Villages we really weren't ready to give up the road completely, but it was a good time to buy. Now we love both. We spend about 7-8 months a year in our Villages home and 4-5 months a year in our motor home - The BEST of both worlds. We don't make it work when we travel. When traveling, we seldom travel more than 250 miles on any given day. We don't travel every day. We don't try to see everything in any area. We figure we'll be back some day. We usually don't hit the road before 9 AM and we're usually off the road by 4 PM. We always stop at a campground and NEVER spend the night in truck stops, Wal-Marts or Rest Areas. We started out in a 23 food class C in 1983 and have worked our way up to 43 foot Class A Diesel Pusher. We flat tow our Saturn Aura behind the motor home. Unless you are an unconverted hyper personality, you should LOVE the experience.

We are headed to the Great Northwest this Summer. Maybe we'll meet you on the road. You'd love the National Parks in Utah.
