We Bought A Van RV (and Weekly WI)

 While not necessarily the plan in this phase of life...

We bought a van RV!

 


While there are many benefits to my current career choice, the biggest one is the ability to retire in my 50s.  The Hubs and I had talked about once we retire, perhaps we would travel around the US in an RV. 

 

I’ve watched some YouTube videos, explored the different options, checked pricing, and visited RV shows.  But we have never really shopped for an RV.  I mentioned to Kenyon there was a used RV that looked pretty good base on You Tube (spoiler…not the same RV year/style) and surprisingly, the agreed to go tour it on our Juneteenth holiday off together.

 

Um, the used RV was a no-go.  It is easy to try and talk yourself into something you don’t really want because overall, I really do want a van RV.  It just doesn’t feel like the right time.  Plus, we have an HOA with rules about “behind fencing” which complicates things more.

 

To make a long story short…I asked if they had a Winnebago Trovato we could look at to confirm we liked that size/layout much more than the no-so-great used RV option and WHAM…we bought an RV.  It is a 2026 Thor Tellaro 20L Sport model and was a killer deal.  Hence why we bought an RV about nine years too soon.

 

I am sooooooooo excited!  We pick it up on Wednesday and I can hardly wait.

 

How else has the week been going?  Pretty good.  I lost 1.2 pounds last week.  Tuesday & Wednesday were great with my commitment to activity.  By Thursday, my week got busy, and it is packed from now until next Sunday.

 

I hope to have at least another small loss for my end-of-month weigh-in on Tuesday.  I head to Seattle for a couple days with my favorite gal pal Dawny and then it is bac to business for the month of July.  I’ve got goals that need slayed and overtime money to earn.
