Happy RVers

Before we departed California, we got a chance to visit Gaylord and Margie Maxwell in Yuma. We bought our Coachmen Destiny from them back in 2003, and we've stayed in touch with them ever since. We share our joys and misfortunes (Gaylord says the warrantee has expired on our coach!) . They tell us that the Destiny is the best motorhome they ever owned, and that includes quite a string of RVs going back to the 1960s.

Gaylord Maxwell

We shared a bottle of wine, had some lunch at Olive Garden, and remarked on the state of the RV industry. We told them that we're looking to buy a new(er) RV, and we discussed the options for that. They brought us up to date on their wonderful family and life in Idaho. We told them about our new house in Maine, and our travels through the last year.

Gaylord is the inspiration and together they are the perspiration behind Life on Wheels, an educational endeavor for prospective RV owners and current RV owners to study the lifestyle and all aspects of RVing. We attended the courses twice in Des Moines, Iowa, prior to departing on our fulltiming journey. The instructors gave us much needed confidence to separate ourselves from the sticks and mortar life and venture forth. When we're in a place where we can go again, we most likely will do that, too.

Margie Maxwell

We think they made a good decision to buy this RV back in 1996, and we're glad we got a chance to meet them and have them be our friends.
