So, planning has been quietly going on in our minds. Taking notes here and there. Places to see and things to do. But first we needed to find some flexible accommodations, so brainstorming about trailer, 5th wheel or camper begun. We went back and forth a few times but soon ruled out a camper. So down to 5th wheel and pull trailer it was. There seemed to be so many more 5th-wheels available and we started answering ads on Craigslist and Kijiji. We looked but there was always something that didn't feel quite right to either one of us. Too long, too short, or the wrong layout or the most tacky interior you could imagine.
Then one Friday night a few weeks ago, we found a travel trailer. 22' long and the layout that we have been looking for. It was sitting in Vancouver, which meant we needed to make a whirlwind trip to the coast to look at it. It seemed like a perfect unit so after a bit of negotiations, we bought it.
In the meantime, we have found a few little surprises that need to be fixed before taking her (or him) on this long haul. After all, we are hoping to at least cross the Arctic Circle with it, so it better be in good condition. :)
Anyway, Sam thinks it won't be that much of a big deal to fix what needs to be fixed, so we are not shying away from the challenge. In the meantime I am having fun cleaning and making it ours on the inside.
