Craigslist and friends have been very profitable for us. We have sold everything we have listed and at list price. Score! Of course, we have only sold some small items as we need the big stuff just a little longer. I am sure it will all go when the time comes.
We got the battery replaced and the oil changed in the RV. It is running again! We still have a few more items to attend to, but we will take it out again next week for another shake down. Between the cooler weather and running RV, we are ready.
One of my favorite things we do is sitting out on our porch in the evening talking and planning our future. We have been brainstorming and have come up with some great ideas. We are now looking at selling both our cars and getting a better tow vehicle. We had originally planned on keeping my car and getting a tow dolly. However, my car is starting to need more work and we figure why not sell it now and either get something here or when we get to Florida. There are pros and cons for whichever we do. Of course, we can't sell my car until we have a replacement and we can't get a replacement until we sell my car. So, we shall see how that plays out.
I spent some time today looking at our route and planning when and where we will be stopping. It looks like it will take us a good 8 days based on our travel plans. We don't want to kill ourselves so we will drive about 5 hours a day.
We talked with our apartment manager and she said even though we can't get out of our lease early, if they get it rented before our lease runs out, we will get a refund of the rent we paid. Our lease expires December 31 but we are leaving on the 7th. We told her we could be out by November 30th if they found someone who wanted our unit. We have a very desireable unit so we don't think it will be a problem for them to rent it out.
So as not to be text only, here is a picture of our cat, Katie, helping us learn about our RV.
It will be here before you know it!!! Can I recommend that when you buy a new car, buy one that can be towed 4 wheels down so you don't have to bother with a car dolly. We have a Saturn ION and all we had to do was put the car in "N" and pull one fuse. It pulled behind our motorhome like a dream.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what we thought. We definitely want to avoid the tow dolly. Thank you for your advice.
ReplyDeleteSame advice about not towing with a dolly. We have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee, automatic with 4 wheel drive that we tow with all 4 wheels down. It does NOT accrue miles when towed!
ReplyDeleteIt was great for off trail riding as well as snow. We stored our yard furniture in it while traveling. We used the Brake Buddy system for supplemental braking.
