Vermont to Tennessee

I started my Vermont to Tennessee migration after seeing an RV on the road while driving south with my daughter to Myrtle Beach. I thought, "I could do that." But it was only a whim, until it got stronger for two months straight. At that point, it became inner guidance. In September of 2020, I decided to do it. My friend Brad convinced me that I needed to learn to drive a truck before going out with a trailer behind it. So I bought a Ford 150 with a towing package. It was easy to learn to drive it on the road. I learned that as long as you and the other guy are both in your lanes, you will pass without incident.
In November of 2020, I bought a travel trailer. It was a toy hauler, with the front half of the trailer containing queen-size bed, kitchen, and bathroom, and the back side of the trailer open, with a ramp in the back. When stationary, I used that space for a kitchen table with two wooden chairs, a desk chair, and a computer table. When traveling, the computer table was folded up, the kitchen table and chairs were ratchet-strapped to the floor, which had numerous tie-downs available. My e-bike came inside and was ratchet-strapped in place.
