First, the introductions. We are Bill and Laura. We lived in a 3800 square foot kid friendly house in Fayetteville GA with a pool, skateboard half pipe, trampoline, theater room and more.
After our kids turned into adults and moved out, we talked a lot about what we would do when we retired.
Given that we had this huge house, we initially talked about having his and her tiny houses joined by an indoor/outdoor kitchen. Laura and I liked to kid that she was born 50 years too late and I was born 50 years too early so having our own “spots” would seem ideal.
Then, one day out of the blue, Laura said “I want to live in a fifth wheel and travel”. After I got over the initial shock we decided to pursue that.
Downsizing was a huge chore, but boy did we downsize!
I mean we REALLY downsized! We bought a nicely used Heartland Bighorn fifth wheel and a 2024 Silverado LT 1 ton dually truck and our trek started!
Our plan is to make our way north to Michigan from Florida where we purchased our fifth wheel, keeping the driving time under 4 hours, which means stopping for at least a week at various campgrounds. We will spend about 2 weeks in South Carolina where Laura’s family lives and then end up in Michigan where my family lives. After spending about a month in Michigan, we will meander back south, stay in Fayetteville for a couple of weeks then end up in Florida for the winter. We’ll be staying there for at least 6 months and then do it all over again!
Back to Georgia!
