2026 Traveling and Moving Forward
We returned to our roots this year for travel. Realizing the larger RV and tow car had become more work than we preferred, we downsized to a camper van, actually a Roadtrek like our very first one in 2010. This Roadtrek is diesel, and the interior set up feels less crowded than our prior vans in spite of its small size, only 19.5 feet, so we took to it immediately.
The true test occurred this summer, when we drove 3,000 miles + to and around western and central New York State to visit family, friends, and to camp. Six weeks of travel, camping, and staying with friends not to mention a lot of photography of the waterfalls for which areas of the Finger Lakes are known, and we headed back. We stayed at campgrounds in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Kentucky, and visited and camped in state parks.
