We are Your Hosts on this trip - Niki, Jack, K.C., B.B. and Stanley
Since 2009 we have ventured up and down the East Coast from New
England to the Gulf Coast and from the Atlantic Coast to the Mississippi.
We've enjoyed four different RV's - including a motorhome and three Fifth
Wheels - but never a Class B. We have corrected that oversight
with the recent delivery of our 2018 Roadtrek.

What is a Snowbird RV trip really like?
Is RVing something you might like to do?
We had similar questions when we started this adventure
so now we post our plans, route maps, campground and
dining reviews, costs and summaries of our trips on
this website and often on our
Day Trip Blog
to try and help others.
