February 17th is THE DAY!!!

We have decided to put our trailer on consignment at Gib's RV in Coos Bay, Oregon - they will set the purchase price - and we will start our new adventure. We will be taking the scenic route from Southwestern Oregon thru the California Redwoods then over Tehatchpi Pass and on to Tucson. After a few days visiting in Tucson we will then head to New Mexico and up I-25 over Raton Pass and on to Colorado Springs. We are looking at this trip as part vacation plus the adventure of moving.

Once we arrive in Colorado we will be searching for an apartment and changing our lifestyle from one on wheels to one a little more stationery. In setting up our new household, we will be using thrift stores, moving sales, freecycle and Craigslist in an effort to do this as economically and eco-friendly as possible. Watch this blog to see how we progress.

Any posts in the next few weeks will be sporatic and dependant on time and computer connection availability. Pictures are dependant on my camera arriving from the repair shop before we leave - have my fingers crossed!!!

I've also started writing on Squidoo and hope to have that linked here soon.

See you on down the road.

Due to requests to see the interior of our trailer I am posting a tour here.

Starting at the computer area we installed and where I spend much of my time (to the left is the couch that opens into a bed) and then panning around to the kitchen where I love to cook and bake.

NOTE: I don't have a picture of the couch area and the wall at the far end of the couch - my camera quit before I could get a picture of it. There is a full-length mirror on that wall. The couch and computer area are in the front slide-out.

We have a free-standing table which I find very useful for baking and crafting as I can put it where-ever it is the most useful.

The front blind is down for picture taking but allows much light and a view. The gas range runs on propane, the refrigerator is gas or electric and automatically switches if the power goes off, the microwave is electric only.

The refrigerator, front door and tv area, coat closet and hall towards bath and bedroom.

Similiar view as above but showing the movable table in another location.

This view is from the bedroom looking towards the living room and the front door. The shower and toilet are across the hall from the sink.

The bathroom sink is to the left of this image. You are looking at the back door and left side of the island queen bed.

Center view of the bedroom showing the back window.

This view shows the bedroom closet slide out with double closet doors for hang-up clothing, 4 under-drawers and to the right are 4 smaller drawers and a tv cupboard with pull-out tray. It is wired for cable and tv inside the cupboard with electrical plug-in as well.

Announcing Price Reduction on Trailer

After research we realized that $14,900.00 was too high for the current market so so we have reduced the price to $10,900. Please contact me at kaelliott1@verizon.net or call 541-297-4341 for details. Trailer is located in Coquille Oregon 97423 at the Rivers Edge RV Park - space 15.
