We spent five nights in Fries, Virginia at the Fries New River Trail RV Park. We came here because I would be speaking at Fries Baptist Church. Fries is a very small town with a population of under 500. Its main street runs parallel to the New River, one of the oldest rivers in the … Continue reading FRIES, VIRGINIA

I have been camping since I was a child. My first RV trip was with my grandparents in their truck camper. My first cross country RV trip was as a teen with my parents pulling an 18-foot travel trailer. So I got the RVing bug early. My wife and I live and traveled full time in our vintage 1999 Fleetwood Southwind Storm 30H, our 30 foot motorhome named Chance. We are the Second Chance Vagabonds.
FULL-TIME RVING PART 2

If you read this blog regularly you know we had to leave the road due to a serious health issue. Just a little over a … Continue reading FULL-TIME RVING PART 2
Medical Considerations for Full-Time RVers
We stopped full-timing eighteen months ago. We left the road for medical reasons. But now, due to a remarkable series of events, we are moving back into the RV again in a couple of weeks and resuming the journey. You can watch me tell the story here. Our experiences have taught us a few things, … Continue reading Medical Considerations for Full-Time RVers
GETTING READY TO GO
We are filled with excitement to be returning to full time RV living. But the doing of it is quite daunting. Mary and our daughter Melissa moved out of our 5th wheel just about one year ago. I was busy trying to die in the hospital. It is surprising how much stuff you can accumulate … Continue reading GETTING READY TO GO
WE ARE GOING TO DO IT!

(You can read the details of the medical emergency in The Unexpected Journey in earlier posts on this blog.) We could not foresee … Continue reading WE ARE GOING TO DO IT!
HOW WE BOUGHT A MOTOR HOME
Early on during my health crisis (you can read about it in my blog posts The Unexpected Journey) we didn’t think we would ever be able to manage our RV again. Even if I recovered, we doubted that we would be able to handle a thirty-eight-foot fifth wheel and the one-ton pickup we hauled it … Continue reading HOW WE BOUGHT A MOTOR HOME
HOW I SOLD MY RV
When you need to get rid of your RV, what is the best way to do it? If you are also thinking of getting another RV the issue is a little different than if you are just selling. We have done both. We traded in an RV when buying a different one and we have … Continue reading HOW I SOLD MY RV
The Next Chapter
When I became critically ill, while we were in the Rio Grande Valley, we had a decision to make. We were full time RVers. There was no way that I could do the tasks necessary to just manage the day to day routine of living and traveling in a fifth wheel. What were we to … Continue reading The Next Chapter
