Ron & Elena's Odyssey

Ron & Elena Engelsman travel blog
Welcome to our trip journal!

We started thinking about full time RVing in 2005. We got real serious in late 2006, started selling "stuff", put the house on the market in April 2007, and sold it in 10 days. We started our full-time adventure on June 1, 2007. After spending June in Southern CA to wrap-up loose ends we started traveling on July 2nd.

Our home is a 23' Komfort Travel Trailer. We pull it with a 2004 3/4-ton Chevy Avalanche. We had this rig for vacations before we started full-timing. We call our trailer "Da Honu", Hawaiian for "The Turtle".

You are invited to join us on this adventure by following along with us on this web page and travel log. The map below shows where we are and where we have been.

We like to hear from our readers. Sometimes we find several people asking us questions about the same topic. Occasionally we'll write an answer to a "frequently asked question" (FAQ) and publish it for all to read. So far we have published the answer to one FAQ:
FAQ #1 - Why select South Dakota as a domicile? - Answer, see Journal entry for Aug. 26, 2007.
