Hello all,
My husband and I have just purchased a 2002 Embassy Triple E motor home. Although it is old, it is in very good condition and only has 50,000km on it. We bought it from a family friend who unfortunately was recently widowed and will no longer be RVing. Her husband was an auto mechanical instructor at a local technical college, kept excellent records and added extremely useful notes to the well organized manuals. I really wish we had had the opportunity to meet him, apparently he was a great guy, and I would have loved to have him walk us through the systems and operations.
We are planning on retiring at the end of 2026 and travelling extensively. During the Canadian winter, we plan to travel internationally (Asia, Europe, Australia, New Zealand etc.). In the Canadian summer, the plan is to live in the RV and travel across Canada. The intention is for the RV to be our sole Canadian home. We will winterize it and store in at whatever location we end the RVing season in, and then return to that location and continue on when we get back from our international travel.
We have no experience with RVing so this is all new to us. We have been working on understanding the RV system by system. So far we have:
Wish us luck!

- Done an inventory of the equipment in the storage compartments
- Run the generator
- Worked out the awning
- Leveled the RV using the hydraulic leveling jacks
- Extended the slide out
Wish us luck!
