Second Step
Today I found it.
After visiting 10 dealers in two states, spending hours searching on-line, studying photos, and walking through what seemed like hundreds… I found my new traveling home! In my search I found units with features I liked, but never one with ALL - size, condition, room, comfort and price. Until now. I am the owner of a fifth wheel. Here she is.
Now it’s time to tell why I needed a fifth wheel.
It was my intention, upon retiring, to go flying, a lot. To land in every state, traveling until finally getting all the flying I want. A friend pointed out that a lot of money would be spent on hotels with this style of travel. To solve this problem, The Shuttle Method is conceived.
From Point A, I’ll pull my fifth wheel; say 300 miles to Point B. I’ll park it and make my way back to Point A by catching a ride with another pilot or by taking a bus or train. Next I fly back to Point B which is now my new base of operations. From here I can explore, camp, and make local flights until I’ve seen everything I want. Repeat as needed.
I'm so excited about my new CampHouse that I had to include this interior view. I'll make the three-hour drive to Oregon early next month to bring her home, with a side trip to a hot springs..got to try her out!
About 140 working days left until The Shuttle Method begins.

Congrats! I really like the layout. And your idea of the Shuttle Method is perfect.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!! What a grand idea---IT looks like a great home on wheels to me...NOW if you need A driver for your road crew- (holds up sign)

THIS is so exciting!!
It looks like the perfect size and I love the layout. Even has a comfy-looking chair. Your shuttle method seems to be the best of both worlds!
ReplyDeleteI am officially asking permission to use this while we visit next summer. That is if you are not somewhere far far away!
