Why A RV?
For the last year or so, I’ve been daydreaming about a little more freedom with traveling. Especially since a summer home is out of the question, I thought about how I could realistically travel more up north and have a place to stay–and how I could elongate my road trips.
My mom and I head to Nashville every year, we planned a week long road trip through California last year and have traveled out to the east coast and we recently went up to the Upper Peninsula–but I want MORE of this! I’m not ready to give up my land home, but I want this little home on wheels to get a lot of use and take me new places.
Meet Fiona the Tioga!
I’ve been shopping online and looking at used RVs–I’ve been more interested in one I can drive myself and if I had a group of friends or family, we could use the space to eat, drink and even poop on the go! I was first looking at conversion vans and my stepdad talked me into looking into something little bigger with a kitchen and full bathroom.
He found this listing for a 1993 Ford Tioga, looked at it the next day, then I drove out to test drive and the day after that, I came in with a check to pay for it! So meet Fiona the Tioga!
Next Steps with Fiona
My plan is to camp ASAP and plan a trip hopefully in October out west and somewhere between then get started on updating the interior. Lots of plans for Fiona! I’ll be sharing more on the RV as we get rolling, pun intended.

Steph and I keep talking about doing something like this for a trip out West (like Route 66 or something). Congrats!
