With our four children and three grandsons living between British Columbia and Ontario, this house on wheels will allow us to visit them more often. Our plan is to spend the summers in Canada and head south as snowbirds do for the winter months. We intend to crisscross North America, see all the spectacular sights that Mother Nature has to offer, meet new people and make new friends. You know... just to stop and smell the roses once in a while and enjoy life. How's that for a concept? We invite you to come along on our travels. We hope you will enjoy the ride."
CYP (Added 11/27/10) "Hello and welcome to our site! Charlie and Yvonne here. We have been retired for the past five years and are full timers, but also lived in our RV for the last 4 years that we worked while living in Mississippi. We started out fultiming in a motor home and shortly realized, once we started to travel, we should have been in a 5ver, being towed by a HDT Truck with it being registered as a motor home. Not saying that all motor homes are bad, but ours seemed to require frequent maintenance. We are in a 5ver now, and will take some time to get to the HDT. Our first few years have been concentrated on the east coast. We were born and raised in New England and retired out of Mississippi, after working in Appleton, WI for 3 years.
