We Bought an RV

The Diary of an RV Newbie, Part 6

September 5, 2020

Another phase of OPERATION: SHITTER’S FULL is complete: We bought an RV! This is a huge milestone for us because it officially makes us one step closer to living our tiny home dream.

I knew this was going to be a long process to accomplish — Hence the name OPERATION: SHITTER’S FULL…Thanks Cousin Eddie…

There was going to be a ton involved to include downsizing all of our stuff, researching, find a truck, and commit to buying an RV that was going to meet our needs. With some persistence and a little bit of luck, we found her!

We purchased a 2015 Forest River Vengeance Toy Hauler 39R12 and I named her. The hubs didn’t mind since he got to name our dog, so I thought it was fair that I name our rig. What did I choose? Big Perm.

She’s a big girl with a lot of style. Extending 43 feet (nearly 50’ with the ramp down as a patio feature), she is gorgeous. When we went and saw her, I instantly knew she was the one. Big Perm needs a little bit of a face lift inside because she looks like a 90’s hotel. However, some paint and a little sprucing up, I know I can make her feel less like an RV and more like a tiny home.

Everything has been falling into place. In fact, it’s a little scary, but I am convinced more than ever that we are doing the right thing. I found that if I have to fight every step of the way to make something work, it probably is going to burn me in the end. I have to say, I am extraordinarly pleased how these puzzle pieces are coming together.

I was already shocked how smooth it was buying our truck (who I named Chunk). Then we had a massive garage sale despite nearly getting heat stroke. Now, Big Perm is officially a part of our family and in a few days, we get to bring her home.
