A New Acquisition

In October 2025, after much shopping, Jenny and I finally took the plunge and bought a recreational vehicle.  The RV is a 2023 Renegade Vienna.  It’s a nice motor home.  It’s 25 1/2 feet long, and based on a Mercedes Sprinter van chassis.  We knew right away that we needed another vehicle to more easily explore the area we visit, so again after much research, I sold my old car and we bought a used Chevy Equinox.  The Equinox was the only vehicle we found that met the criteria of: not too old, able to be flat-towed (all four wheels on the ground), light enough to be towed by the Vienna, and able to hold our e-bikes.

In October and November we took the Vienna, sans Equinox, on a few three-day camping trips to make sure we knew how to use everything and that everything works.  And now, we’re two days in to our first extended trip avec Equinox. The itinerary includes several nights each in Hilton Head, SC and four places in Florida.  Then 2-3 nights each at three stops in Alabama before we drive back to Virginia in Three segments.
