In June 2005 we sold our home in Indio, California and retired. After the sale of the house closed we moved into our new 40' Monaco Knight motorhome. We had been planning this course for about three years prior to the sale of the house and had carefully selected the coach based on what we thought we needed to be "full-timers" on the road.
We moved into the coach on June 4, 2005, and left the Coachella Valley on June 21st. Our first summer was spent in mostly in Oregon, the Dakotas, and Wyoming. Winter 2005/2006 was Florida and summer 2006 was primarily in the eastern portion of the country. We spent this last winter mostly in southern California. In April 2007 we headed for the great northwest and have been in Oregon and Washington since May.
In our first two years on the road we put 21,000 miles on the coach and another 25,000 on our Jeep touring around. Most of the first two years we were truely "on the road" only staying in one place for a week or less. We have since slowed down somewhat and are enjoying a more relaxed tour schedule, staying in most places at least two weeks.
