I’m glad I started this thread; it’s been helpful to me. BTW, so far I’ve named my home-on-wheels Escape Plan and The Behemoth, I’m thinking, after I do this winters repairs and modifications, of renaming it SunChaser. Whatcha all think?

I think it's helpful for many, Thanks! And yes the new name is fitting... :B

We spent most of the summer in Western Washington this year, looking at places that we might want to consider as a 'home base' because after 8 years of moving we've come to the point where we want to gradually ease into traveling only 1/2 of the year. While it was a glorious summer in the Seattle area, and my sister tells me it is still going on, I decided that even though I grew up there, I've spent to many years in areas where it didn't drizzle from October to April. We arrived in Mesa, AZ yesterday to begin looking for a park model while will be our winter destination and we will become sunbirds in the spring chasing the sun north to more moderate temperatures for the summer, and return to Mesa each year for the winter. We also decided to do this because it takes long each year to get through physician's appointments and we need to be able to take 2-3 months to get a problem thoroughly checked out, new medications tried, etc.

Barb, I agree!! As a homegrown Washingtonian we got tired of the snow (east side) and headed south to Chandler/Gilbert AZ (14 yrs) but have since returned home however we think our future plans could include another home base down south and become sunbirds. Of course this would be after we've traveled a while.
