ive years ago, if you had told me and my wife Apryll that we would have our own motorhome and would be cruising around the country, we would have said you were crazy. We’ve never been big on “camping” but, hey, it’s 2020 right? All rules are out the window! With the impact of quarantining and a desire to go on a vacation, we had to get creative. In reality, we have been “vacation challenged” for years because we own a somewhat ridiculously large dog and are the kind of ‘parents’ that can’t fathom boarding our dog. When your dog is 165 pounds, he doesn’t quite fit under an airplane seat so…an RV seemed to be the answer to all our prayers!
We hit the online classifieds and quickly got overwhelmed; but we persevered and ended up buying a 2011 Thor Hurricane 32A. My wife immediately gave her the name “Cinderella Coachella”. Cinderella showed up not quite “as advertised” and was quite a challenge for the first few weeks (on the way to our second camping site the main brake line ruptured through the tape someone used to try and conceal a leak!). But as we like to say, “Bad decisions lead to great stories!”.
In the eight weeks we’ve had Cinderella, we have had some truly amazing experiences. We’ve gone to Margaritaville RV Resort at Lake Lanier (beautiful!) and we’ve even done a couple of boondocking overnights for some ultra trail runs. It’s been a blast to be able to travel by ourselves and with friends, and most importantly with our dog Dino. He makes it very easy to meet new people at the campsites and he loves our new adventure-machine as much as we do. We can’t wait to hit the road and keep adding to our story!
