Our One-Bedroom Condo on Wheels

Wednesday, 19 May 2010

Some will look at this 40-foot (~12m) Allegro Phaeton and see a toy — a really big, fancy toy.  We look at it and see our retirement home — a one-bedroom condo on wheels.

Welcome to a Virtual Tour of our One-Bedroom Condo on Wheels.

The beauty of this 2009 Phaeton is that the former owners have already optioned some of the things that were on our wish list.

Mui completed the purchase of the “gently and lovingly used” coach in Portland, Oregon just a few hours ago.  I’m going to have to wait until July to see it in person; that’s when we’ll be flying to Portland to bring the Phaeton here.

For now, the Phaeton is parked in a storage facility in Portland.

Although we’ve taken the first step towards realizing our dream of touring the US and Canada by motorhome, we still have a few years to go before we can retire and go on the road full-time.  In the meantime, stay tuned for our weekend adventures aboard the “condo on wheels” coming to a blog near you.

  1. How exciting! My husband spends HOURS online fantasizing about our 'retirement' RV. Right now, we tow a 26' travel trailer. It's not roughing it, but it's far from luxury. Some Class As are so posh! I like the floor plan your RV has. We'd go for the king bed too. Right now we have a queen and it's definitely not a 'full time' bed.

    Will you be driving it to AK this summer?

    Travel safely and enjoy!

  2. Susan, thanks for commenting. We really lucked out with our RV purchase; especially since the previous owners had already opted for some of the things that were on our wish list.

    Unfortunately, we have limited time for our AK vacation this year, so we're not driving. That adventure is going to have to wait until we can dedicate more than two weeks to the grand state of Alaska.

  3. Your Phaeton makes our goal of getting a Leisure Serenity look a bit measly. May your travels be full.
