Condolences.

I cannot fathom what you are experiencing, but I can relate what happened to my father when my mother passed away. They were avid RV'ers and while the TT never moved again my dad went on living a full and active lifestyle. He met a very nice lady and their travels were more of the get-on-a-plane and go to Hawaii, Alaska, Florida, etc...

I agree with others to hold off on selling the RV. Perhaps it may come back into vogue for you. God has a plan for all of us and I wish you peace.
Sold the TC, previous owner of 2 NorthStar pop-ups & 2 Northstar Arrows...still have the truck:

I want to add my sympathy and condolences. Almost every day on this summer's extended trip, we talk as we go down the highway about what a great time we have had during these RVing trips, and the wonderful places we've seen, experiences and adventures we've had. I'm so glad you had that, too.

My sincere condolences for your loss.
Hold the memories close.

All of our trails come to an end, eventually.
Hold those memories close to the heart.

God bless.

My wife and I offer our heartfelt sympathy. I cannot imagine going through what you are, and I hope that at some point in the future the memories can ease the loss in some small way. All our best for your future, and thanks for having the courage to include us all in this post.

I'm so sorry trailgranny. My husband and I sometimes talk of what we'll do without one another, but it's not the same as actually going through it. Sometimes I tease him and tell him that I'll sell the dually and fifth wheel and hit the road with a small class C or pickup camper with the grandkids loaded up. You need to do what's right for you. Take care of yourself.
