Charlie

Home » Charlie

“Charlie” is one of our campers. Named after Charlie Brown because of it’s brown color, this rig remains in our seasonal lot in Vermont, where we spend most of our summer when we’re not using Leela for moving around. It features some of our key comforts, such as a dedicated office space for me, comfortable seating, an outdoor kitchen, and a separate bedroom for the kids, complete with seating and a table. This gives us a comfortable place to rest in-between travel sessions, and gives us a little more room, while still being able to be comfortably pulled by a half ton truck.

Charlie is a 32′ 2014 Sunset Trail Reserve, and we bought it in 2023 from a family who used it for weekend adventures for nearly a decade.

    I was fortunate enough to get in on the lottery at my local seasonal campground. We’ve parked Charlie (our last remaining camper) there. It’s about 25 minutes from my house, and will become my home away from home.

    I can hardly wait for April 1st to get back into RV life a bit, even if it’s just part-time.

    He’s home. That’s the last one. My stuff is no longer distributed all over the country, and I think I can finally say we’re fully transitioned out of RV life. What a crazy weekend.

    Judging by the conditions of the roads, and the various posts I’m seeing in Vermont, I think we made the right choice. The camper was a little buried this morning though 😅. We’re making good headway.

    We’ve opted to stay in the hotel for another night. The sleet is rough, and I’m really…really tired from yesterday. Slow and steady wins the race, after all.

    Well that didn’t go as planned lol. Turns out the blizzard that’s hitting Vermont this weekend decided to come a little early, so we had to scramble to get the camper packed today after making the drive from Ohio, then drive the rig to Albany through snow. We’ll finish this tomorrow, just glad to be parked away from the bulk of the snow.

    Picking up Charlie from Vermont this weekend. Reeeeeeally not looking forward to this drive. But once this is done, we’ll finally have everything consolidated.

    That’s a wrap for this summer! Starting our trip back to Texas this week. We have a few fun stops along the way, including the Smokies, the Poconos, and Shenandoah.

    Well it took all freaking summer, but we finally got this corner set up how we want. Just in time to start thinking about leaving ????. I guess we’ll get a few weeks out of it…

    We made it back to Charlie, our camper in Vermont, yesterday. We’ve all got Covid and I’m pretty much spending my day recovering. Gilmore Girls, fever reducers, and tissues abound. I’m so glad we got back before everyone’s symptoms peaked.

    Meet Charlie, Our Summer Camper

    Earlier this year we bought a used camper to put on our seasonal lot in Vermont. This post talks about the camper, and how it stacks up with our other campers.
