We’re officially on the road now, 7 months ahead of schedule! The last couple weeks have felt like light speed, but we’re so incredibly happy to start our journey and have the freedom that most only dream of.
Our first day of motion was eventful. We secured everything and unhooked without much issue, but hooking up our Hensley-Arrow tow hitch was quite the task. It’s more finicky than a ball hitch, but we finally made the connection. Then, we find out there’s issue with our electrical hook-up from the truck to the trailer. Main reason: Playa dust. The truck’s previous owner is a burner, and used the beast as a fire truck during Burning Man. Quite appropriate seeing that our friends were on the playa at the time, and we were reminded of the experience in a very unique way!
It took us all day to figure out the electrics and make our way to our first destination, but we did without much issue and are very, very grateful to our wonderful friends who helped us out. We couldn’t have done it without them!
We needed to move spots in the RV park a couple days later, and hitched up, moved the rig, and put everything back together by ourselves. We felt like that was the day the training wheels came off!
We’re enjoying the country and the slower pace. Have a few opportunities brewing and we’ll see what comes next. We’re glad to have made it this far though – and couldn’t be more excited about how open-ended our future is.
Congratulations. I will be following in a couple of weeks myself and hope it goes as smoothly for me. It’s always great to see the RV Dream achieved.
yay for ya’ll!
