Finding the Right Ride

So far my experience looking for a vehicle of any kind is zilch. Suffice to say I feel the pressure searching for a recreational vehicle that is much larger than my Honda Civic or my previous car the Honda Fit. I definitely see myself operating a tank in this scenario. The next step is customization. Since the trip will be several months if not a year or more, having the comforts of home in this RV will be really important. I’ve been looking at this as a form of independence. For this reason modifications will be vital to successful road-trip! I want to try the form of camping known as “boondocking” which is where campers utilize free, remote locations that may or may not have electrical or water hook-ups. I am looking into solar panels for this reason. I also want to invest in a really large fresh water tank and modify my rig with those to enable a more remote lifestyle. If all goes well, I will be living off the grid with very few month-to-month expenses. With an abundance of caution I have prepared for the route to Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska. There are over 30 stops along the way including visiting colleges, family, and art museums, as well as the National Park system and State Park systems. All together the trip will be 11,496 miles and that’s if there are not more stops along the way (which there totally will be.) Mileage is a concern. I am buying a second-hand RV and I need to be sure that the best miles are ahead of the whatever vehicle I choose! Wish me luck in finding the rig of my dreams. I will be updating you guys soon!
