A BARGAIN ADVENTURE
Have you ever thought about buying an RV and taking off to travel our beautiful country?
A few years ago that is just what we did. It didn't take us long to find a Fifth Wheel RV and a BIG Ford truck to haul our bargain purchase. We were lucky to find both for a "second time around price." We did get the "thrifty buy" of a lifetime. We havent't traveled the United States in it yet but we leave tomorrow for our first long trip.
WE ARE GOING TO MAINE.
From where we live, that is 1250 miles one way.
So this is what our bargain looks like.
It was used but in excellent condition.
NOW FOR THE BIG FORD TRUCK
It is parked in front of our cabin that is on our property. The terrace steps take us down to our front yard. Can you guess...we live on a mountain. Our home is not the cabin, it is to the left of the cabin. Lots of loving family and friends stay in the cabin when they visit us.
Now for a peek inside our RV.
The RV has three slides that give our RV the look of a small apartment when we let them out. See the carpet line by the table? When the slide is in, the table and couch rests against the kitchen cabinet on the right. The other two slides take the bedroom and kitchen out. It is surprising how much larger the RV is with the slides out. They are electric and very easy to move.
The living room/kitchen. Both of the chairs turn around and they are recliners. This position is necessary when the slides are not out.
Our kitchen. There is a microwave above the stove. The fridge is to the right. the freezer and fridge have oak doors.
The dishes etc. in the cupboard are all thrifty buys. I love a good bargain.
Two small steps take us to the bathroom and bedroom. Behind the mirrored double doors is a large closet. The throw rug is another thrifty buy. The bed is queen size and sooooo comfortable with a memory foam mattress.
The bathroom sink and to the left a very roomy shower.
Gotta have one of these.
Back to the living area. The TV and VCR are all built in. The cabinet above is where the dishes are. the fridge and freezer is to the left. There is tons of storage above all the furniture in every available space.
2nd time around thrifty purchase. I love this.
Last a couple of pics of our poodle Cheri'. We are trying to get her used to the RV. We will be living in it for a month.
This is proof that she is happy in the RV. Her froggy position is her absolute most comfy way of resting.
Last, I must share a gift from my dearest friend Beverly at How Sweet the Sound She gave this to us when we purchased our 2nd time around, thrifty RV home on wheels.
I apologise for the lengthy post but I didn't want to leave anything out.
Keep on thrifting. I am going to check out all of the thrift stores I can find in Maine. I wil be posting from Maine as well.
Love,
JEANNE
