Hi folks! I'm Wayzgoose, also known on some forums as aroslav. Ian (ilox) recommended that I join the forum since I'm just in the process of choosing my traveling vehicle(s) and mode and have tons of questions. Trying not to be snowed by sales people or resort managers, but not always knowing what's best for me.
I'm putting my house on the market in April and plan to be on the road by the end of August, exploring America off the Interstate. I expect to be on the road for two to five years, depending on how much I like it and how successful my project is. I'm a fiction author and publisher (work I can do from anywhere) and intend to go very slowly, crawling along the old U.S. Highways and talking to people who live away from the freeways. I'll be writing both a travel book and various fictionalized stories as I go. It's not about the destination (is there one?) but about the journey and the people I meet.
I'm trying to sort out whether I'm pulling a trailer or driving a small (B+ or C) motorhome. Going to RV shows and talking to people. Yesterday I was given a pitch (3 hours!) on buying a resort membership so I can have access to the Coast-to-Coast and RPI RV resort clubs. Sounded like a lot of money to invest in a location where I'll never go in order to get access to discounts in places I might go. Any input would be appreciated!
Happy touring!
