Sorry for my slow reply, I was out if town TT shopping. Please excuse my typos as I'm on the iPhone. As always thanks for the time and replies!
Yes as many have said we are waiting to upgrade the TV until after we have placed an order on the TT.
I hadn't realized reace would alter the configurations of the
escape interiors.. I will be shooting them an email to see what's possible.
I almost bought the 25b25fb this weekend. However just prior to looking at the bigfoot I had looked at a non
fiberglass arctic fox. Man those things are heavy, but seem very solidly built. The 25 p floorplan had a slide so obviously when I stepped into the model I wanted to see the bigfoot felt tight width wise. I decided to wait and do a little more hunting as we still have time. Although I really think the bigfoot is the one. The 21
escape seems a little restrictive. Dinettes aren't very comfy on rainy days when trying to read for any period over 45-60 minutes.
It's been years except for the few hospital weeks after my transplant since I slept in such close proximity to my mum. I understand we will definitely need space. However, I am an experienced backpacker and do hope as my health improves to take some solo overnight-5 night trips just me, the dog and a tent. This is why both dogs are coming. As single women we both feel safer with the dogs and will not mind splitting up. Between exploring the local sights, hiking, photogaaphy, kayaking and requisite campsite outdoor lounging, I don't expect we will both be inside for more than sleeping unless it's a rainy day. And that's why we have Truck to escape to the nearest town or indoor attraction or we can bury ourselves in the laptops editing photos or reading a kindle. Perhaps I'm overly idealistic. But I do recognize the challenges. we will meet up at times with her friends or mine at various stops. I anticipate boondocking solo for a week at a time while she visits with old sorority sisters in az,nv, and mt. And we plan to visit a few major cities along the way (months apart) where we will actually splurge to do the whole hotel thing, dine out, spa, catch a nfl or MLB game or see the symphony, while the dogs spend a few days at a doggie spa.
I like our not entirely flushed out plan
The dogs sleep on their own beds or sofas (my dog grabs a leather chair at my apt). My mum's dog usually sleeps on his own dog bed but has been known to sneak up on a sofa. I think we will try putting dog beds or blankets down at night for them to nest in. When we are both away from the campsite at same time we will either put the dogs in a doggie daycare for a few hours or leave them in the rv in their own soft sided crates with appropriate climate control going. After a long morning hike they tend to sleep.
Thanks for the feathercraft heads up. I'll look into that as well. But with a cap/topper on a truck we will be able to just mount some kayaks and a SUP on top of the car. The bikes could be placed in the covered truck bed, if I decide to bring them.
Thanks for letting me ramble.
