Today we bought an RV!

Today we purchased an RV... Our very first RV. It's a used 2015 Coachmen Freelander. Just in time for Valentine's Day, we're in love. We're calling him Clark.

Here's Clark from the outside. He currently needs a bath because he's been sitting on a huge dusty lot for several weeks, but we think he'll clean up quite nicely:


Here's Clark on the inside. He's extremely beige, but he also has a lot of features we love: plenty of space for people to hang out, multiple sleeping areas, a double sink, an oven, tons of storage, and linoleum flooring throughout:


The restroom. Clark has a large crack in the shower floor, and that's one thing the dealership has to take care of before we pick him up and take him home:


Lots of seating and storage. The couch pulls out to become a sleeping area (though to me, it doesn't look all that comfy):


The cab area, the overhead bunk, and our driver:


The kitchen. We're pretty pumped about the relatively decent amount of counter space here. There's a microwave, an oven, and a double sink, plus a folding countertop that we can set up if we need some extra room:


After we'd toured the RV but before we sat down to crunch numbers, the sales guy took us out to an empty truck stop parking lot and had us drive Clark around. To our surprise, it was a pretty smooth ride; Clark is easier to handle than we expected.

What we're thinking right now: Wow... We're really doing this. We're all in. And we can't wait!

Enjoyed your blog, and love Clark! My husband and I are currently looking for an RV as well, no idea what we are going to name him, or her. Really enjoyed the parts featuring the kitchen and the storage. In our perspective RV we are definitely interested in having a nice kitchen and lots of storage.
