FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Class C or travel trailer?
Class C (drivable) for one-step setup (park, level, done); a travel trailer for keeping the tow vehicle for errays and day trips. For a retiree full-timer, the Class C is the simpler choice; the trailer is for those who want a car at the camp.
200 miles a day?
Yes — the retiree road-trip pace. The point is not to get there; the point IS there, every day. Stop early, explore, relax; the 500-mile days are for the young and the employed.
National Parks pass?
Yes — the America the Beautiful pass ($80/year) pays for itself in 3 park visits and covers entrance to all federal recreation lands. The retiree's best $80 a year; go everywhere it covers.
Camp chair and awning?
Yes — the retiree's RV life is about the campsite, not the driving. A good chair (reclining, cup holder), an awning mat, and a camp kitchen turn a parking spot into a living room. The setup is the home.

Retiree leisure road-trip and my cross-country kit share the 200-miles-a-day-is-the-pace gospel — a camp chair and an awning turn a parking spot into a living room. The setup IS the home, agreed.
