Preparations Begin

After hour and hours of discussions we finally landed on our future type of RV. It would be towable. To do that it was time for the 2019 Subaru to get traded in (it was paid for, thanks Covid!). We (I) searched local dealers for a truck we thought was up to the task (We'll come back to that after Launch.) All told we got a great deal on the truck maybe that was an omen.

Next was RV shopping. Again , visiting many dealerships and doing walk-through's we had landed on a Imagine Travel Trailer. I say we, but really that was me. Michael had other ideas so we also checked out a 32.9 ft Reflection 295RL 5th Wheel. The layout was what we wanted and we'd heard a 5th wheel was easier to tow from all our Xscaper friends in Galveston.

We took the leap, traded the van in on the 5th wheel and started planning our future to hit the road in 2021.

First tow!

A truly frightening experience but we made it and even managed to get it parked in the site with our Xscaper parking peanut gallery to cheer us on.

It was funny how much room this took up compared to just the van and Subaru!

We did our last 2 weeks in Galveston getting used to this style of RV life. Honestly it's all a blur now!

MINE!

Marty starts to make himself at home. He got all comfy on the recliner. Then he found his new sun spot for when it's cooler out and we keep the door open.
