In my last post I said some announcements would be happening soon.
Tracy and I decided that since most of the areas we wanted to visit within a two hour drive we have seen. Traveling more than two hours away diminishes our time to visit and return the same day. We needed to make some changes in order for us to take longer trips.
With my business I do travel some. When I do I spend weeks at a time on these projects away from home. That forces me to stay in hotels. In the past Tracy has traveled for business and spent a good amount of time in hotels. We both reached to the point of not enjoying them. Especially this pandemic has really screwed up our experiences.
So Tracy and I decided to bite the bullet and make a major purchase. After much research , on site visits, negotiations, we finally made our decision and placed the order last April.
Everyone, meet Becky.
She is a Beacon made by Vanleigh. 39 feet long. She has a king size bed, full living, kitchen, dining for four, and a washer & dryer. Everything we need to enjoy our trips. A home on wheels.
We ordered a 2021 model, but they built the 2022 model. A little different than what we wanted. The shower is smaller than the 2021. That is a small issue for me since I am taller than the shower. Luckily they installed a skylight above the shower. We will see how well I can adjust to the small shower.
When we ordered the RV, we also purchased a new truck. I wanted something strong enough to pull and handle the road with Becky. Besides, my old truck has over 240k miles on it.
Meet LJ and Becky
This photo is at the dealership with LJ picking up Becky.
Yes we named them. LJ is short for Lucy Jane. And we thought the name Becky fit.
Our trip home went much better than expected. I had never pulled something this long or heavy before. We live about 100 miles from the RV dealership.
LJ did a great job pulling and Becky was a good girl. She didn’t sway with the cross winds, being behind semis, or anything.
Now its time to personalize Becky for her maiden voyage.
Will keep you posted
