The last post on this blog was back in 2018. A lot has happened since then.
The Captain passed away in 2019. Without her I figured my RV'ing days were over and I sold the Starship back to the dealer we bought her from. It was almost five years exactly from the day we bought her to the day I sold her back, so I guess you could say we completed our "Five Year Mission," and boldly went where a lot of other people had already gone. We didn't quite hit all four corners of the lower U.S. but we did get to Washington State, Maine, Florida, and the north half of California. (You can have the south half.) I truly can't remember or figure if we hit all the lower forty-eight states but we may have. And Hawaii too, by the way! On a rented Sporty.
Anyway, I decided to venture out one more time and I just bought a nice 2014 Fleetwood Bounder Classic Class A which I have tentatively named, "Starship AZ-Roo", or possibly "AZ-Kanga." Both names because the Bounder's Icon is a "Bounding Kangaroo." Zoom in to the photo and you will see it on the side of the rig. BTW: I'm open to naming suggestions. If you got 'em, send 'em.
I am busily preparing it for a trip back east to my brother Greg's house (estate) in North Carolina. He has been holding a "Guys Only" family get together for our riding brothers, grandsons, nephews, and close friends for several years and I've never joined them. All of the above mentioned folks ride Harleys' and Indians. I on the other (contrarian) hand have borrowed a nice 2000 BMW Classic Custom motorcycle, along with its enclosed trailer from a good friend and expect to take a bit of ribbing about it right up to the moment I blow their doors off.
