October 2020, we decide to look at few dealerships to see what is out there and warn the kids “were not buying anything, just looking” … an hour into looking at RVs on the lot it’s mom and dad who are giddy like kids and ready to buy. A few quick weeks of research online and talking to ANYONE willing to talk to us about their experiences (thank you FB friends and forums) we decide ordering an RV is too big a gamble for receiving it in time with current demands, renting an RV is not economical or convenient for the amount of time we want and miles we wish to cover, so we found what we wanted on a lot and bought it! We took our new toy home for weekend, slept in it in the drive way, then put it away for winter, sad face. Now to name what feels like a new family member… Mat chose Harvey because he liked how it rhymed with RV. Maddy chose Betty because she just is a Betty. Kim chose Crystal because that’s the anniversary gift for 15 years of marriage which we celebrated the same week we bought the RV. And Emerson chose Peggy because we’re all Hamilton fans and it makes us smile. So we decided to use them all: meet Crystal Betty Harvey the RV…and Peggy. Later we when bought our 2014 CRV to tow across the country there was an easy and natural re-assigning of “…and Peggy” to the car behind the RV and now I have my first ever vanity plate.
