Sometimes you just have to make the decision to act, and so we have. This week we bought a 26 foot travel trailer from ExploreUSA in Kyle, Texas. It is a 2013 Hill Country model and the best design for our needs we have seen. Once I walked through it, I was sold and could not be persuaded to consider a different brand or model.
Two slide outs in the kitchen and living areas make the trailer seem huge, though it is not. It has a huge bathroom with skylight, an outdoor kitchen with refrigerator and sink and an arm that holds the gas grill, an outdoor shower and speakers (so we can listen to Creedence Clearwater Revival while washing the sand from our feet), a queen-size bed and entertainment center with a swivel for the TV so it can be viewed from the living area or the bedroom. It is a luxurious arrangement for boomers like us who want to travel and be comfortable.
We also bought a Ford truck, an F250 diesel with just 75,000 miles on it to haul the trailer across the USA and to our first major destination this summer - Alaska. Between now and June 1st we will go on some shake-down trips to get used to hauling the trailer. We will also complete the task of getting rid of all the flotsam and jetsam of our lives and storing the few things from which we cannot bear to part.
