Wandering Wanda's Adventures

This is Wandering Wanda Winnebago. We acquired her on our trip to the Hershey RV show and have owned her now for over a week. This rig is everything we ever thought we wanted in a motorhome.

Some of y'all may remember we started out a year and a half ago in a class B. One long thunderstormy weekend was all we needed to move up to a class C, a Dynamax Isata 3. We used Izzy the Isata enough to know that it didn't have enough storage. Hubby and I both have our own mobility issues, and it was getting increasingly difficult to maneuver inside the RV, especially while traveling with our dog, Champ and cat, Mouse. The research during our last big trip which was a 17 day trip up to Michigan to visit with family and friends. We actually looked at Winnebago Vista 29VE, which we liked, and which had great storage, but it really did not have the floor plan I wanted. What I wanted was the Vista LX 27n plan, but that was discontinued. We also wanted auto gen start, which would protect us in case of a campground power outage or for when we were not on shore power, we could set it up to protect the pets from the heat. The 2020 Winnebago Adventurer has the floor plan we want and the features.

It also has a bed that does not fold and storage that goes on and on. One of the reasons I like this floor plan is that it has storage all across the back which is accessible on three sides. Love it.

We took delivery of it in Syracuse, New York on Friday, September 20th. We were fortunate to get a couple nights (each night on a different site) at the Villages of Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York. On the day we were to check out, we checked to see if there were any cancellations. There was, but it required yet another move, to a back-in site. It took a couple tries that first time, but I did it and we had a day to chill and have another delicious meal at the casino. We really needed that day, since Friday was exhausting for all of us, especially the pets.

We left the casino park on Sunday and spent the next three nights on the road. The first day was the worst, because I-81 in New York and Pennsylvania was the absolute worst. The last night on the road was very disappointing. We stayed at a park that we had visited on the way up, and both their restaurant and store were closed due to insulating in progress. It didn't matter, we still had some food in our pantry and fridge and we enjoyed our last evening on the road. Somewhere along the way, we discovered that our lights no longer worked on our awning and on the entry handle. Still trying to figure that one out.

We hope to have many more adventures in Wandering Wanda the Winnebago!
