We were 0-3 on the RV front today. The first RV of the day got too expensive before we even bid on it. We bid on the second RV and were the high bidder right up until two-and-a-half minutes left to go in the auction. Unfortunately, we got beat right at the buzzer, so at that point we were 0-2.
I had high hopes for the third RV, but things didn’t work out too well with that one either. I was getting ready to bid when the bidding suddenly jumped up above our budget. Oh well, I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.
So where does that leave us? There are a couple of more RVs coming up on EBay over the next few days, but the only one we are really interested in isn’t up until next Monday. In the meantime, I’ve tracked down three RVs for sale off of EBay. The first is at a dealership in Michigan, the second is being sold by a private party in Indiana, and the third is at a dealership in Montana. I’ll be following up on all three to find out more.
Finding an RV has turned into more of a job than I thought it would be. I’m anxious to get one so we are set to leave on time and so I can concentrate on other things, but I also don’t want to make a mistake and overpay for an RV. The search continues. . .

3 questions...
1). Are you towing a car with you?
2). Where are you planning to go i.e. what parts of the country?
3). Are you selling your house?

Queebs -- We will be towing our van with us. The plan is to use the RV as a base camp and use the van for any sightseeing/running around we do.
Our itinerary is not finalized yet, but we plan on heading out by Thanksgiving. We'll hit Kim's parent's over Thanksgiving, go to Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then spend Christmas with my parents.
We'll be with my parents for about four weeks and then we'll head to Key Largo, up the west coast to Sarasota, Cedar Key, then to Pensacola, New Orleans, and then three weeks in Texas (Houston/San Antonio/Austin/Dallas/Ft. Worth).
In the middle/end of March we'lll head to Phoenix, San Diego (2 weeks), Flagstaff (Grand Canyon), and then up the coast of California to Yosemite Nat'l Park. We'll eventually also hit Glacier Nat'l Park and Yellowstone.
We're not going to be able to make it to the Northeast. We don't want to go during the winter and we're planning on ending our trip in June 2008. However, we are hoping to get everyone to go out to Emerald Isle next summer.
As for your last question, we sold out house already and will be closing at the end of November.
