Nomad exploring life wherever I am
For the last year and a half, the screen and shade combination in my Alto’s big front window (BFW) has been broken. I made a series of cloth covers for nighttime, held in place by velcro, finally settling on a two-sided, double-thick quilt-type cover (thanks, Peg, for sewing the binding and velcro on that beast). Finally, this summer, when I got to Quebec and the Safari Condo factory, I would pickup an actual new screen/shade for it, and for the other three windows.
May 2 is my Alto-versary, celebrating that day way back in 2016 when I picked up my shiny new blue Alto F1743 and became a full-time vagabond. I honestly had no idea what I was doing. I liked to travel, I didn’t mind driving, and there was a lot of America and Canada I wanted to see. Seven years later, I’m kind of surprised I’m still out here.
I always enjoy looking back at the year and seeing what I’ve done, where I’ve been, and how the numbers stack up. Here’s a link to my 2022 Year in Review.
Everyone who buys a camper, whether it’s a 42-foot Class A bus or a tiny tow-behind has a list of requirements in their head as they are making their choice. Or sometimes they don’t… Some people go through 2, 3, or even 4 campers in the space of a half-dozen years, realizing that first one didn’t have X, the second didn’t have Y, and so on. So it does pay to think about what you’ll be doing with — and in — your camper before you shell out the big bucks to buy one.
Happy 6th birthday, Breeze! Woohoo!
