It’s almost time to head out on our cross-continent road trip. A few final preparations to complete ahead of tomorrows departure, we’re in good shape… we think.
We’ve been wanting to get a Class-B campervan for a few years and in 2020 we ordered from PleasureWay Industries of Saskatoon, Canada their OnTour-2.2 model. Based on the Ford Transit 350HD platform, the OnTour-2.2 comes complete with wet bath, galley and lounge/sleeping area. We picked up our van in October 2021, a full year after ordering.
Storing the van under a shelter in our laneway for the Winter was hard as we both just wanted to get out and travel, but van camping in Canada in the Winter is not how we wanted to learn about the ins and outs of our new van. So, we spent the time instead planning for our first retirement trip in the van.
And here we are…. After a long Winter of planning and preparing we are about to head out on a cross-continent trip that will see us leave Ontario, Canada and head to Indianapolis, IN to watch the Indy500 after which we will head West to Colorado and Utah before turning North to Idaho and finally Washington before crossing back into British Columbia, Canada. A couple of weeks later we will head East back across Canada arriving home in Ontario by early July.
It’s hard to believe that it’s all about to start!
