6 Months of RVing - by the Numbers

We consider the start of our Full-Time RV living to be April 14th when we left Debbi's and Peter's driveway in Bethel, CT for Ellyn's brother's and sister-in-law's curb in Vienna, VA. We choose that date because it's the date our home was supposed to "close" on but it didn't actually close until the 17th.
