Parade of Motorhomes
My dad lives right on the Shenandoah River in West Virginia. It has always been my favorite river, hands down, so I love visiting here. He only built the house two years ago, so this is only my second visit from Florida.
He have several very large lots that are part of some private property connected to some land a church owns so they can run a retreat center. So, back here at the end of the road it is quite peaceful.
At the mouth of the road, before you get to the retreat center, there is a campground and it is filled with large motorhomes most of the summer. It’s a coveted camping spot and there are both locals and regular travelers who come back year after year.
It’s not a bad way to spend your summer! Before my dad built his home here on the river, he had a river lot in his old hometown and he owned an awesome Gulfstream that he would put on the lot each summer. It was like a slice of paradise. His brother is looking for a motorhome now so he can bring it here to one of dad’s unused 5-acre lots on the Shenandoah and I’ve been helping him shop — which happens to be a lot of fun.
We started out by doing a lot of online “window shopping” using Rvs.com. You can look at real time inventory there and get a good idea about pricing for new and used vehicles. That set us up to be ready to go out and physically look at motorhomes.
I wish I lived closer. I would follow my uncle’s lead. Florida is indeed paradise in the winter, but I think the Shenandoah Valley holds that title in the summer
