What is the BLT?
The BLT is what I consider the Best Little Trailer, a 2011 17-foot Casita Liberty Deluxe which was the full-time home for me and my crew from August 2011 to May 2018.
What is the PTV?
The PTV is the Perfect Tow Vehicle. It's a 2005 Chevy Express Van with a V-8, 5.3 liter engine and equipped with a 200-watt solar panel on the roof and two AGM batteries inside.What is a blogorino?
A blogorino is a reader who opens up the comment section of this blog and writes a message. Blogorinos are kind and friendly and fun to know!-
CATCH UP WITH RVSUE AND THE CREW!!

Thinking of you today and wishing you and Bridget a very happy and peaceful Thanksgiving. I also want to say thank you for the effort you put into your blog and sharing your adventures with us.
Happy Thanksgiving Sue! So many things to be grateful for, including the enjoyment I get from seeing this beautiful country with you. Thank you for doing what you do so the rest of us can dream.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Bridget. Hope to be traveling some of your peaceful campgrounds soon.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. I have the stuffing and Brussels sprouts au gratin in the oven; working on mashed potatoes. Pot luck is at 1pm. Later I’m home with a good book and leftovers and my apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream. Yummy!
Awesome picture! I find it interesting that a bird can be so ugly and handsome at the same time. I’m thankful that you enjoy sharing a wee bit of your RV world and travels with us. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your furbaby!
God Bless you and have the bestest day…:+))!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving all! We have a lot of wild turkeys in Roseville, but none as large,or fat or beautiful as your photographic subject. Have a blessed day Blogorinos.
Sue, Bridge and All of Your Blogerinos, Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy turkey day to you, Sue and Bridget.
I’m sorta late to this party but left greeting on the last page. Anyhow here’s wishing you and Bridget and the entire gang a very happy thanksgiving.
Sue, I am so grateful for your generous sharing of your journey. You’ve inspired a recently divorced artist to take up the gypsy life. I am in the process of getting my ducks in a row and cleaning out the stuff as well as looking into rigs, domiciles, etc. There is so much to do before launch but you’ve enabled me to visualize how that will look for me and my dog and kitty.
Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you! And a pleasant Thanksgiving Day to the two of you.
Happy Thanksgiving, Sue and Bridget:)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Off to our Aberdeen VS Hoquiam 3rd Annual WATER BALLOON FIGHT! After that, we head to the Rustan Way kids house for fun and food. Got my Orting Grandkids shopping done on a certain Amazon link! YAY!!!
Hugs from Hoquiam!
Barb
And to you and Bridget, Sue!
Have a great Thanksgiving day. We are enjoying the beauty of Sedona and then off to a vegetarian Thanksgiving meal. That turkey is safe from us.
Teri
Wonderful picture. We are just down the road from you in Apache Junction. Glorious sunshiny Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy!
Hoping you and Bridget have a great Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
What a beautiful turkey! Hope he’s having as good a day as the rest of us. Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving Sue and Bridget.
Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Hi Sue, and Happy Thanksgiving to both you and the Bridge!
I remember Ivie Creek, it has been my favorite camp so far!
I hope y’all have a great holiday and don’t get overstuffed!
Chaunte’, Shea, GiGi, and Spike
Happy Thanksgiving!
Love the photo! On my list of things I’m thankful for today is you, and the inspiration you provide for all of us to follow our dreams. Hope your Thanksgiving was a wonderful one!
A very Happy Thansgiving to you and Bridget!
Just to give you a update on our RV. We finally got our sprinter sportsmobile the middle of August. Went camping with aunt and uncle, learned the ropes. Then we found a full hook up campground at rainbow res. which is run by Tooele Army D. And the state of UT. Can drive right up to a handicap ramp. Hubby can go fishing. We went and stayed for a week and came home and went again. And again. Until they closed at the end of October. We have never had so much fun. Can’t wait for spring. It opens back up the first of May. We were the only ones there! Just loved it.
So if anyone out there is worried about traveling with a wheelchair, don’t. We have enjoyed the freedom to be able to get out of the sticks and bricks. Hubby even caught a fish!
Thank you so much for your blog and giving us the thought of “ya we can do this!”
Dear Michelle,
When I read you found a good camp and you and your husband went back, again and again, I laughed out loud with delight for you. Then you followed that with “We have never had so much fun” bringing forth tears through my laughter. I’m very happy for you both! Thank you for sharing your story here. Regards to your husband… 🙂
I would love to hear more about your Sportsmobile. We almost bought one back in 05, but that was when it was difficult to get a Sprinter certified for CA pollution standards,so ended up with a Leisure Travel van that spring, which we still own and love? So happy you found a way to get out into the wilds.
Velda
Our Sportsmobile is a regular 2500 van. So only 19’4″. It has a pop up top. We have a UVL lift that is housed outside the van. Inside we have a porta potty and shower. Sink stove and fridge. Goucha bed/couch. We only have a grey tank. We also have 2 solar panels. 2 AGM deep cell battery. And a second alternator, that will charge the batteries in minutes. And can be used to run the AC. We got it out of CA. We put hand rails all around the inside.
6+ years of being home bound. We love the freedom. My husband is way more alert and with it since we got the van. He had a massive stroke and has no use of his left side.
Thanks Michelle for your reply. Sounds like you got the perfect RV for you two. Our Sprinter LT is 22 ft long and is the 2500 series, and we love it. We have a wet bath with both grey and black tanks. Sofa bed at rear which makes a king sized bed. All the rest similar to your I suspect. Do you have a wheel chair ramp? So glad it has been so positive for your husband. What a blessing for you both ESP after being housebound for so long. Take care and have fun. We love our Sprinter LT.
That sounds like the perfect Thankgiving story. So glad that you took what must have been a huge leap in faith and had such a success. Happy camping.
That is a stunning turkey! Good job getting him in full display.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!! Thinking of you and the doggie today. May you have lots of love, lots of sun & lots of happy, quiet boondocking hours 🙂

Happy Thanksgiving RV Sue, Bridget, blogerinos. Perfect Thanksgiving photo!
“RV Sue, time to get yourself a Walmart roasted CHICKEN!” said the turkey.
So much to be grateful for this holiday and high on that list is this community. May you all embrace the bounty of a an abundant universe.

Belated Happy Thanksgiving!
Covered in snowflakes as sparkling as their eyes the pups prance in hoping for treats-this time fruit is what we share.A diced peach and strawberries for them,mine dribbled with chocolate syrup- “Dining like royalty” the glad game is easy to play here.Good morning,Sue,using your adaptation(with no material things such as toys) is fun.Gifts tangible in different ways are sweet to consider,thanks for adding the twist!
Happy Thanksgiving a day late, Sue and Bridget. Many thanks for sharing all your travels. Hoping you had a lovely day.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Bridget!!
P.S I am thankful that my best buddy,my dog Juice, is thriving.You,and some readers, might remember Juice.She is the dog that had the cancerous tumor and had the front part of her jaw and teeth removed.She is healthy and playful and even getting a bit chubby.Thanks to Cornell University Veterinary School.
Juice will be headed to Arizona with us after Christmas at home.
God bless you all. That is wonderful
Great picture. Did you have that Turkey tied to a tent steak!! LOL
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Bridget!!
Well, Burp!, It’s over for another year. We had a real feast, just the two of us but I couldn’t ask for a better dinner companion than Detta. I did a little of the preparations and quite a bit of the cleanup. Reminded me of my days as a military trainee in the mess hall back almost 60 years ago scrubbing pots and pans, etc. I assure you this meal was much better than any I had there. I sure hope all of you had a great day too.
We had a great one AZJim, And I agree, All food Outside of the Army Is great, REEEAAL FOOD!!!
Hope you and Bridget had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Your blog puts a smile on my face and I can’t wait to one day be more of a spur of the moment RV’er. We travel in ours throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall but I am still working full time and have a few more years left. Luckily I get 6 weeks of vacation a year and that sure helps to be able to still work. Hubby retired a year ago this month. He has become quite the house husband!
Keep safe in your travels and enjoy every day!!!!!
Hope you & Miss Bridge had a wonderful Thanksgiving! God Bless!
Late to the party, but just a note to say we feel blessed to have found your site as we educate ourselves about the full-time lifestyle. How bad have we got it? I spent Thanksgiving day building our roof-top solar combiner box. A few months ago, I could not even pronounce “combiner box”. Happy Thanksgiving!
Yay! I am thankful for this minute of WiFi to hope you and Bridget had a most wonderful Thanksgiving! Now to send it before I lose my signal! Love ya’ll!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Bridge too Sue. Enjoy your weekend, I hope it is quiet and peaceful. We’ve got houseguests with two small children, not used to children, so it’s not so quiet. But fun in a different way…right? And eventually everyone goes home. Much to be thankful for in many different ways.
Dawn, Keep repeating this manta to yourself…”We can do this…We can do this…We can do this”….earplugs help too. Happy Turkey sandwich week!!
A very belated Happy Thanksgiving! Just ordered 2 paperwhites through your blog. Keep a lookout! Finally convinced my husband it would be worth it for him to get one as well. Still eating Turkey! Hope you and the Bridge have a wonderful blessed weekend!
Happy belated Thanksgiving to you RVSue and Bridget and to all blogorinos.
Hello! Would it be possible for you to put a link to your Amazon site under your Menu heading at the top of your blog. For some reason, I can only get the link by going to the past shopping ideas you post at end of some of your posts. I want you to get credit for all of my purchases, but my old phone does not show your entire home page. Thanks so much! I so enjoy your blog and want to support your lifestyle with my meager purchases. I just ordered the Ken Burns “Roosevelt” dvd’s. I hope you get the credit. Take care and hug your little companion for me.
Happy Thanksgiving Sue and Her Royal Highness, Bridget!! We are thankful every day for your blog. Your photos are amazing, especially liked the recent post with the close up photos of desert plants. Thank you also for sharing the ups and the downs; it is actually comforting to know that we are not the only ones “blessed” with breakdowns when we camp….I guess it just goes with the territory. We too ordered a Kindle paperwhite (and cover) through your blog this weekend; the blogorinos gift of choice this Christmas! I hope it show up on your sales soon.
