In my last post in December, I indicated that we didn't know what our future plans might be. Well we decided in early January that our RVing days were coming to an end and we put our RV up for sale on consignment at the local RV dealer. Two months went by with only one offer which was low-balled for retail. As a result, we decided to visit the RV dealer's affiliated GMC dealer to look at the 2013 Yukon. In the process of discussing our plans, we suggested that maybe they would take both the big dually truck and the fifth wheel on trade for a Yukon. We were hoping it would be close to an even trade and it came out close enough to satisfy us. Therefore, last Friday we completed the deal and left DeMontrond GMC with a new 2013 Yukon in place of the big truck and RV. This does not mean we will stop traveling; it just means that we will travel as most "normal" people do and stay in hotels or with family and friends. We will live the bulk of the year in our cottage.
Oh yes, in making this decision, we decided to enclose the back porch and make it our bedroom. The added space has made a world of difference! We had found during the winter that we did not use the back porch for anything except storage. We originally thought it would be warm enough to sit and watch TV but that was certainly not the case. The wind blew in around the drop-down curtains so it was really an easy decision. We also pulled up all the carpet and put in laminate flooring.
