We traded our Winnie, our reliable travel trailer for a brand new Thor motorhome. Motor Homes are self contained houses on wheels with cooking, bathrooms, heat and air conditioning and a queen size bed. Ours is compact, comfortable, and easy to drive and park.
Our little rolling home has all the comforts of a larger home. Small shower, smaller queen bed, closet space for a hermit with no clothes, a table with space for 2 people or four kids. Even a smaller fridge with a freezer.
And, it gets nearly 12 miles per gallon of regular gasoline.
Look at the image above. Right in the middle next to the fridge it says “STEP UP.” That is THOR code for TRIP HERE. After tripping a few times, I purchased a ramp from Amazon, trimmed it to fit, and installed at the step. No more tripping.
Motor Homes have lots of windows to look at the scenery and absorb the heat. Our first upgrade was to have the windows tinted. As we were walking around Thousand Trails we found Chris Cabral of Mobile Window Tinting. Chris and his friendly dog Duke travel the country from one Thousand Trails to the next in his travel trailer and workshop/Jeep. When he finishes, we will have lightly tinted driver and passenger windows and darker bedroom windows.
The tinting and factory supplied drapes will help us sleep while still letting us see the scenery.
