Ready, Steady...Tow!

Visit our blog as we travel here, there any everywhere in our shiny home with wheels. Without a set schedule, with no reliable income, no expectations, and without proper medical insurance we are bound to run into failure, fun, trouble, opportunity and many new (senior citizen) friends. Co-piloting this adventure are our side kicks; Lois The Pie Queen, the saucy siamese vixen, and John Bunnay Ramsey, AKA, Senior Biscuit.

We are a happy couple of three years that met while traveling in Germany. We relocated from Los Angeles to New York City, and recently purchased a vintage 72' Airstream Tradewind, 25' trailer to live out of while we explore all points connected by land. We hope to achieve minimal cost of living and in exchange have extra free time to spend together and work on our our creative projects. The end result.. 1. We will have lived in many parts of the world we wouldn't normally have visited, 2. We will have opened our doors for various experiences that normally wouldn't cross our paths, stories to tell 3. We will have developed our own companies which we plan to continue after we decide to leave full time trailer life. We hope to do good things with our extra time too.

New York City, one week to go, perhaps..



Bill and I are READY for our Full-Timing RVing adventure, It's important the airstream remains STEADY while being pulled or we can have an accident and kill somebody. So we have been learning all about Sway Control, Receiving hitches, Weight distribution hitches, real nerdy old timer RV type of stuff, and then we will be in full TOW, (which will be a good portion of our time), hauling approximately 5,500 lbs once we are all packed up. Hence the name of our internets onlines bloggersphere web site. I hate the word blog. Why are we all forced to use it?

Bill and I will be adding to this blog periodically so you can all sleep at night and know where we are headed, sleeping, working and temporarily planting our pink flamingos. You will hear all about how our 28 year old tin can of a house with wheels "Ferlin" keeps us dry (or not) at night, random updates and how much gas money gets put into "Husky" the suburban gas whore. Oh, and of course The fabulous adventures of Lois and John as we travel across the US and cross borders.

As of now we are still here in Brooklyn, NY packing boxes for storage, for the airstream and Goodwill. It looks as if we'll be heading up to New Hampshire where the airstream is currently being stored and worked on at the beginning of Sept. or soon after. We started the renovation already and are having so much fun with it. It feels so good to tear out carpet, and couches and excessive wood paneling. It had a camper musty smell and we've take care of that for the most part. Thanks to Sean we have an architect looking at our blueprints, helping us with a more suitable interior floor plan.
