When we left La Cruz de Huanacaxtle and headed to Seattle, our plan was simple: Get a cheap RV and tour America by land. Route TBD. We had hoped we could find something vintage and cool looking which we might want to keep and then renovate in the future, but the quality of those rigs was so poor and we didn’t want to do a renovation up-front. That lead us to expand our search to the ”less-cool”, but more modern rigs. In the end we found a 1991 Winnebago Chieftain 25RC with a diesel engine. We were drawn to the diesel since we are more familiar with the care of a diesel from owning sv Deep Playa. The layout has a dedicated bunk, stand-up shower and a dedicated dinette\sitting area. These match with the way we live on the boat and that works pretty well.
Right now the RV is getting some brake works, tune-up, fluids changed, etc. We’ll hopefully be able to pick her up on Monday, give a deep cleaning and start moving in.
More adventures to come !!
Will this RV be on the playa looking for the trash fence next month?

Sorry, no plans to make it BurningMan this year. Can’t imagine anything that’d do more ruin it.
I keep thinking the Seattle Sailor\Burner crowd need to throw a sail-in burner event some place.
So glad you love the blog, do keep in touch!
Seattle Sailor/burner event sounds awesome!
We took my Moms RV to the playa last year and after an entire day of cleaning it upon returning, you would have never known it had just spent 11 days on the playa. Ok, for thats not totally true, but it is mostly true.
