The Adventure is getting underway while we are still living at the beach...

The Frank and Rene story started in 2011 and this story is a very happy one :)  Rene has spent most of the Summer 2012 with Frank in Long Island, NY working as a host camper at the beach.  Work on the RV was started last winter with new flooring, upholstery updates and some 'homey' touches being added.  Rene sold her house and what few items remained have found a new home in the 29 foot Fleetwood Tioga Montara Class C Motorhome along with Frank and his items.  The season here is coming to an end so our LIST of preparation for an upcoming year of travel is underway.  So far there are three categories; Maintenance, Install and Auto Repairs (these will be done by the professionals).  Frank is confident we possess the know-how and mechanical skills to install items such as solar panels, Jeep tow hitch along with a long list of maintenance items to complete.  Rene is scouring all the items she can read on RV organization, budgeting, green RV Living and how to keep your travel costs down.  We will roll out in November with stops to see family in North Carolina and Illinois, then we will head south, west and eventually travel up along the Northwest before setting our sites for Alaska - Summer of 2013!  As Frank's logic goes "We might as well go to the furthest RV spot first".  Eventually we plan to visit every state and stop at any of the National Parks or National Monuments the state has to offer. Our practice trips have gone wonderful and we are confident this will be the first of many 'Endless Adventures in the USA'.
