Wheels

Here’s Rambo Protecting Exodus—our 41 foot 5th Wheel AKA Home.

Moses has officially retired and now Rambo leads the pack. He is a 2025 Ford F350 Turbo Diesel STX and he pulls our home like a dream.

Speaking of Moses—We made sure they had a chance to meet and get to know each other before Moses moved to his new home. He passed his wisdom down to Rambo and now he’s pulling another family’s fifth wheel on their travels.

Next is Exodus…  our home on wheels.  Exodus is a 2016 Reflection 367BHS 5th Wheel by Grand Design. It’s a mid-bunk floor plan, which is PERFECT for our needs. Here is the floor plan for our home, followed by some more pictures inside and out. We have made a lot of changes over the past ten years, so I will try to show you the changes as well as how we started in the pictures below as well. If you look at the last couple of rows of pictures you can see some of our latest upgrades. In 2023 we replaced our original theater recliner with a new residential loveseat/recliner. So much nicer! Then in early 2024 we also replaced the back sofa with a countertop bar and barstools. This was the best upgrade yet! What took so long?! It opens up the whole room and is where we now eat all our meals. We got new benches for our dining room table, and we since turned it into my office! Speaking of offices, the mid bunk room has served many purposes over the years. It started as Elijah’s room, then became Greg’s office, then when we were sitting on the farm and I was going through my cancer treatment and recovery Greg had his office in a small shed—so then the mid bunk room became my office! (Picture of that below) We are back on the road now though, so it’s back to Greg’s office—so I decided to get creative and I turned our dining table into my office! Hey, whatever works! Oh, speaking of being creative and innovative, we even added a wine rack! Who says you can’t have the finer things in a tiny home? Below are lots of pictures of our cozy home and even after all this time—we still love it!

Since we have had to put the brakes on our sailboat phase due to all things plandemic since early 2021; We decided to add Lectric ebikes to our entourage and we couldn’t be happier.  That has upped our exploration level big time!  I got my white one (EVE) in December of 2020 to keep up with Greg on his then regular bike. I put over 2,000 miles on it this past year! Greg then couldn’t keep up with me, so he soon ordered his own, a black one (WALL·E) which came in April of 2020.  He is quickly approaching the 2,000 mile mark on his as well.  These bikes are absolutely amazing and has improved our lives and our travels immensely.  They also serve as terrific therapy for both of us.  With the ebikes we can pedal as much or as little as we want so regardless of my energy levels we can easily explore up to 26 miles on one charge! We are both excited to get back out west and ride these all through some of our favorite national parks.  We still plan on the getting the sailboat, but until God shows us that the time is right, we plan on enjoying our travels by land.  These ebikes are the perfect way to do just that!

And last but not least; This page would not be complete unless we include Greg’s adorable little minibike in our “wheels” entourage. The truth is, he sold it in Arizona back in 2022 (Due to inflation he sold it used for the same price that he originally paid for it brand new—so he rode it all those years for free!) I want to leave the pictures on here, because this was a big part of the many memories we have made over the years! Greg loved being able to rip around off-road, especially out west where there is plenty of BLM land and other opportunities for him to ride it. As they say, all good things must come to an end—but it sure was fun while it lasted.

  1. Love this update! I don’t comment on the blog, but I really need to.
    Having been inside your home, the pictures really don’t do justice on how spacious it is!
    Looking forward to your next set of adventures.
    Godspeed!
