I want to start by extending my warm welcome to the Phantom Phaeton Blog
This is my first foray into the world of blogging and my main goal is to expose the reader to the full-time RV lifestyle and to the possibilities and experiences that may afford the individual willing to make the leap. Making the decision to forego the 'sticks and bricks' dwelling and dispose of non-essential belongings (stuff that we had horded... Okay, me, stuff I had horded !)
I hope you will join us on this adventure... comments and feedback are welcome.
My amazing bride and I pulled the trigger in the summer of 2017 and purchased a new to us 2011 Forest River Georgetown, class A gasser RV.
We had done a ton of research and watched lots of YouTube videos in an attempt to prepare ourselves for what was in store for us. "ARVIE" provided "everything but the destination" and served us very well for five years.
We had grandiose plans of seeing every state in the glorious United States (Excluding New Jersey and California... with just cause) But, we still owned a recording studio and home in Pennsylvania. These two properties took a tremendous amount of time to maintain and that took up all of our spring and summer months. They had to go...
We closed the recording studio and put the facility up for sale, one down.
The housing market started to heat up, heat up? The market went insane and we had no intention of missing out on the run. We sacrificed the late spring and summer months of traveling preparing our home for sale. Everything fell into place and we accepted an unbelievable offer the day it went up for consideration. Suffice it to say we made a tidy profit at closing.
Being 'homeless' was a new experience for both of us but we were headed for the great state of Texas and this new chapter in our lives.

ReplyDeleteVery nice blog entry,... thanks for sharing some of your personal experiences in a great getting to know you way. It's an admirable quality to be able to share one's life without scaring folks, or at the least have them second guess their asking the questions. Tiffin Motorhomes is the front runner in our choice of abodes, sure would like an RV that has no slides though, favoring the keep it simple approach. Ciao
