Even though we haven’t said much about our hunt for a motorhome (or RV in the USA), rest assured it has all been happening behind the scenes.
So finally on Friday, we drove to Harrisburg to check out our new home for the next 4 and a half months.
And here it is!………………………………
Our new home
The RV has two slideouts (the one featured is where the bunk beds are). The slideout on the other side is where the kitchen and dining room are. There is room to sleep 10 people. Quite a compact unit (called a Class C in the US. Class A RV’s are bigger, but don’t come with bunk beds.) We figured we have enough to think about whilst driving without it being the size of a truck!
This particular RV is a 2010 Four Winds Chateau. It is an ex rental, which is probably why we got it for such a great price. But for us, it’s perfect!
We’ve been shopping for bedding, bathroom accessories and kitchen utensils. Now that we’ve seen it, I’m sure there will be a few more bits’n’pieces to get (without the kids being with us!! Now THAT shopping trip “drove us crazy!!!”
The plan at this stage is to pick up our new home late Tuesday or Wednesday morning, fit it out with our stuff, then hit the road…….. with the first port of call being Niagara Falls.
All smiles.............for now!
Hey fantastic guys – well done. It looks like a great buy. Do you have a name for it yet?? “Howitts Hive” ???
I like that! May have to have a family meeting to discuss something cool and your suggestion will be right up there. Will let you know 🙂 Cath
I am glad you took a photo of the smiles – just to remind you latter. Seriously though, we are very happy for you and hope it is smooth sailing. Can’t wait to “travel” with you and see what you get up to.
Yes, hope the smiles stay there for the duration of the trip! We are looking forward to the next leg of our journey. Glad you can share it with us as we go. Take care. Cath
Looks fantastic. No where to hide though!!!!!!!!
Yes, we can hide up the other end in our room (has a door!) Bunk beds might become a teenage sanctuary. Lots of walks and getting out and about will have to be the order of the day. 🙂
Thinking of you all … and very envious. Take care and send plenty of pics
Hi Bill and Larissa,
I bet this brings back memories for Larissa. Having a great time and we’ll keep the pics coming. 🙂
Hi y’all do in Dixie?

Hi Nigel,
Cool. A new iPhone 4. Niagara should be great. Happens to be a long weekend when we are thinking about going there, so may have to put it off for a few days and see a few other sights first. See how we go.
Hope you are all well. Cath and Trev and kids
