How Buying An RV Changed The Way This Family Traveled

The last month has been a great personal experiment. I’ve flown to Florida twice, first for the Universal Orlando re-opening day and then stayed in a socially distanced Marriott Vacation Club. After watching COVID-19 cases skyrocket around the country since my trip to Florida, my risk tolerance for my typical travel patterns has rapidly decreased.

Looking forward to the rest of 2020, in my novice opinion, I don’t see anything getting any significantly better nor do I see many countries allowing Americans to visit. With a 3- and 5-year-old in the house since March and prospects to get out the rest of the year dwindling, my family looked to alternative ways to hit the road again.

That leads us to Betty: our new 37-foot Passport Grand Touring 3351BH bunkhouse floor plan travel trailer.

We took the plunge like thousands of Americans this year and are headed out on the road for a few week-long stints at a time.

There’s an overwhelming amount of information to try and absorb when it comes to the recreational vehicle world. Much like points and miles, you simply can’t try and understand it all from the beginning. What’s most important for my family is we understand this is a grand experiment that we’re purposely undertaking due to COVID-19 preventing our typical work and travel patterns from happening.
