    I'm glad you are having a good time. The cactus Christmas ornament is really cool. My cats love the Christmas tree. Its the only time of year they behave badly. We put large bells on the bottom of the tree so playing or climbing I hear them. Take care of yourself and,Tara and Opie. Happy Thanksgiving

    The hard thing about schoolies is that the maintenance is pretty intense. If you were somebody who could do your own repairs, it might not be too expensive, but if you're not then it's possible it would become prohibitively expensive. I love the idea of a short bus as a schoolie, but I decided that the risk on maintenance requirements didn't work for me.

  • @VickyGeagan

    Eric, I have been decorating for Christmas since October. Your outdoor lights and Christmas tree look great. Merry Christmas.

    Oh, Eric, I’m haveing a blast following you, I think I’m going to put some lights out also, at 71 it’s time to have some fun!
    Your lights are just beautiful, and your tree is lovely, I love your spirit!

    Eric a four season Rv is a great ideal for you since with the new property you will be able to stay longer before you have to leave and you can come back earlier

    I know of no RV that’s insulated well. We have a 4 season Grand Design 5th, the insulation is always a joke. The tanks and such though is a plus.

    Usually, you can find used school buses for conversion in Fl .
    Cheaper prices in the agricultural counties than high population counties like Orange, Lake & Osceola. 😊

    Hi Eric! Oh how I wish I could be in Q for the holidays. Love your camp setup.
    I am still home based at TTO but have taken two trips to Virginia and TN this past year. No TTO booking for Jan but will be at Sothern Palms in Eustis instead. Hitting the flea mkt while up there.

    Quartzsite looks like the best place to spend Thanksgiving on the road. I'm curious how you're planning your time to enjoy everything, looks like nonstop things to do.
    Stay happy and safe travels

    @wes7195 8 месяцев назад

    You need a vehicle made for you! I am glad you are considering building out one. You are very detailed, I saw that when you were fixing the rotted bulkhead on Tilly and really made it look great. It would be nice if you had a RV junkyard as good as that one in Washington for any parts that you may need. Anyway I hope you find a good one for the build if you decide to go that route.

    You could build a roof deck for race season. I always felt a custom rv of some sort is the best option for you. Even a moving truck can be turned into a badass home on wheels. But i love the tour bus option the most

  • @lisapage768
    @lisapage768 7 месяцев назад

    I've had many rigs. I priced out building my own schoolie and the long term costs were a little too much. I think it would be more interesting to see what else you can do with your Tioga. I get it, though, I don't like how a 2 season limits you to the South in the winter. Cheers🍹

  • @ejs6010
    @ejs6010 8 месяцев назад

    Taking a schoolie and building ot out could be interesting. The problem is, many RV parks will not welcome such rigs. Some parks even reject RVs over a certain age (20 years old or so). Just something to consider. Happy Thanksgiving from Albuquerque, NM - rain or snow may come here in the next 12 to 24 hours.
