Welcome to Essex Junction, Vermont where we will be staying for the next six nights! We are here to attend a Tiffin Motor Home rally (Tiffin is the manufacturer) which starts on Monday. As Mike and I have volunteered to help at the event, we came in today to attend a mandatory orientation meeting.

These events are great fun as there are dinners and social events every day where you get to meet lots of new friends, but they are also interesting as there are seminars and talks on technical aspects of the motor home plus general “life” sessions as many folks who will be here live full-time in their motor home.

I was completely intrigued when I spied this rig arriving, pictured below. The owners have a 37-foot motor home and are towing a 26-foot trailer! Not only that, but the trailer is split-level! On the lower level, sits a truck which, when traveling, is strapped tightly in place and there is tonnes of work and storage space behind the truck. On the upper level sits a Polaris Slingshot (a two-seater, fun, off-roading kind of vehicle). Again, on the upper level there is more storage space. There is an built-in lift (elevator) which enables the owners to retrieve anything they need.

The big upside of the trailer is that you can reverse the motor home while it is attached! None of this un-hooking malarkey that we so enjoy!
