Trying to become a Florida Resident hits a snag
How we picked our future home on wheels
Houston....we have a problem!
The day someone walked in our house
Finding the Right Hitch
Now What?!?
When we sat down to think about how we would do this, one thing immediately came to mind: I didn't want to drive an RV. The idea of living in your car (or driving your house) didn't appeal to me. If your car breaks down, so does your home. A traditional (Class A or B) RV was too large a vehicle for me to comfortably drive, and you'd have to end up towing a car behind to get around once you get to a destination, and that seemed too much. So I started thinking, "What is the smallest car that would pull the largest trailer?" We never owned a truck, and never really wanted one. I found a list of the towing capacity of every vehicle and began looking for the unicorn of vehicles.
Everything Must Go!

Our next Home Game - MetLife Statium for the Giants and Jets. This was a 2 for 1 since they share this stadium even though today the Giants were the “home” team. Giants missed a field goal at the end for the Jets to put it into overtime and win it by a field goal. Our seats were covered from the rain. We lost our umbrella (not allowed) and purchase a blanket to keep warm. Next stop - Florida!!! #whatthehellrvdoing #wth #nfl #giants #jets #metlifestadium #rvlife #bucketlist #peaceout #hitches
One of the things we’ve learned on this journey, is Home is where you park it. One of our goals is to see a “Home” game in every NFL stadium in the US, so we figured we’d start with our original Home. We enjoyed a cold cheesesteak and a warm beer, and got to sing #flyeaglesfly #whatthehellrvdoing #wth #homeiswhereyouparkit #hometeam #fulltimerv #nfl #goeagles #lincolnfinancialfield #eagleshomeopener #peaceout #hitches

#amazing #waterfalls at #yosemite #nationalpark. There were #clouds early on so much we couldn’t see #halfdome but #elcapitan showed up. We learned that #fire is part of a forest’s lifecycle. We always thought fire was bad.

The Eye of #antelopecanyon. Such a cool experience. The Upper Canyon had more imaginative “objects” in it. The Lower Canyon colors were more vibrant. #whatthehellrvdoing #wth #fulltimerv #peaceout #hitches
Wow wow wow. #lowerantelopecanyon was Fantastic!! So glad we were able to make this happen. Apparently the Upper canyon is the more picturesque of the two. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow #whatthehellrvdoing #wth #rvlife #fulltimrvers #peaceout #hitches

WOW!! This is amazing!! Many times over the last almost 2 years of RV life I have wanted to ride bike with Dan and couldn’t as my recumbent bike was in storage as we had no way to bring it with us!! Well my amazing husband Dan DeLong figured it out. He has a wonderful friend of ours Harley weld us a custom made rack that allowed for our other bike rack to sit on top. Thank you so much Harley for making this happen and welding a dream of ours together. Next step is Dan is going to put a kit on my bike so it can be an e-bike so I can keep up with him and get stronger and stronger!! I might not know how to ride a two wheel bike but that doesn’t stop us from making riding with Dan a reality. Stay tuned for a future Tour de Tucson where I ride with my husband!! Can’t wait to check that off the bucket list one day! Thank you honey for making this happen! #birthdaymonth #blessedandgrateful #biking #rvlife #bucketlist #50isthenew30
#24hourtown is a phenomenon that occurs every year. Roughly 5000 people are expected to congregate in the desert for this 24 hour mountain bike relay race.

#24hop @epicrides this is one of the events that I’ve been wanting to experience. I did NOT want snow to show up.

I was #screwed. Somewhere in #pennsylvania I picked up a screw in one of the tires. Our neighbor in #maine is a #contractor from PA and his family went to the same high school as Theresa.

Woke up to 3 inches of snow this morning. Normally wouldn’t be as big of a concern, but we were “supposed” head to our next destination. Not today. We’ll give it a day to get cleared up and head out tomorrow. #snow #whatthehellrvdoing #notwiredforthis #migratesouth
#2021 to some was terrible, loved ones were lost. For us we began a journey toward creating our own path in the safest way possible. We hope to see you down the road. #happynewyesr #2022 #whatthehellrvdoing #wth #rvlife #rvliving #fulltimerv #peaceout #hitches
Opening the vent in the bathroom is needed to make sure the humidity escapes. It’s just out of reach for Theresa so she asks me every time. I found this extension rod so she can do it whenever she needs to. #short #verticallychallenged #shortpeopleproblems #rvliving #fulltimerv #whatthehellrvdoing #wth #peaceout #hitches

#winter is coming….our furnace is #propane. With the heater running, we wanted to ensure we don’t run out of gas. We called the gas company and they will come by every week to tip it off and we return it when we leave.

This is the main reason we didn’t opt for a typical RV that you drive. A #recall can happen, but if it were to happen with an #rv you drive, we would have to find other places to live while this is sorted out. #btw when the car tells you it needs attention, it’s really helpful. #whatthehell #rvdoing #rvliving #fulltimerv #peaceout #hitches

Made it to PA safely. Few delays. The tire and a trip through a Blue Beacon to be nice and shiny. New parking home for the next 3 months.

Moving day. This is the first time we pack up to move somewhere else. We are a little bit nervous and a lot excited. Nervous that we’ll forget to tie something down, but excited that at the end of the day we’ll be in another location on our way to a new destination. #whatthehellrvdoing #rv #rvlife #nomad #peaceouthitches
We are about to leave our first stop and we were thinking what we would like to collect as mementos for the places we’ve been. We were thinking #stickers but then decided to look at #magnets when we were at #charleston #market and found @kadiesueart hand painted magnets. She even put the year on it while we waited. What do you collect? #whatthehellrvdoing #peaceouthitches
The campground owner has cattle and opens up a field for them to graze in the morning. Buster and I say hey…or hay… to them. #whathehellrvdoing#cow#dogwalks #peaceouthitches

Before we were married, I would come down to the lobby to see if Theresa was working at the desk just to see her. To mask my intentions, I would buy a 5th Avenue candy bar.
