Living simply while loving the journey

Living a simple life while trying to thrive in everything we do. If we don't do what we love, it isn't worth doing!

Scrapping that idea..literally!

We have decided to scrap the trailer that we had because it was going to cost over $5000 to remodel the whole thing. We are going to be scrapping the aluminum and selling the frame. Hopefully we can make back some of our money.

Our new home!!

Living room area, I will change out the cushions.

Kitchen, everything works.

Bedroom, there is enough room for our king bed!!
We have found a 5th wheel, 1979 Road Ranger, that only needs a few things to be road ready. There is lime green carpet that will be taken out, it needs a new toilet, and some other minor repairs. It was only $2200.

The guy that we bought the trailer from has been so kind to us. He is letting us pay him in increments and holding the trailer for us until the snow stops, and the driveway clears up. On top of that he has been searching craigslist for a truck that will be able to pull the trailer. He found an ad a couple of days ago and called us. Turned out that the truck was very close to where he lives and said he would check it out for us. After looking at it and telling the guy our story the guy dropped the price to $1200!! We just got a 1990 Chevy 454 Dually truck to pull our trailer. John, sold us the trailer, bought the truck for us so that we can pay him back for that as well. He knows we are in a tight spot as far as money is concerned so he snagged the greatest deal ever and we are so excited about it. People are amazing when you give them the chance to be. I am feeling overwhelmed with gratitude at the kindness and support that people feel towards us. Thank you for encouraging us to live our dream of becoming rags to road!!!
