Time to transition from the boat to the travel trailer. A time that always causes me heartache — I love living on our boat … but I’m so excited about our new adventures to the national parks in our Lance 1685 travel trailer. The RV lifestyle is similar to living aboard since we’ll be moving our “house” from neighborhood to neighborhood as we please. Cannot WAIT! Coming Mid-March … 2.5 months, 5,500 miles, 12 states (+ or -) our “new” Lance 1685 and our old Toyota 4 Runner (please...
