Well, in January I posted it's our dream to travel around the country and work. The time has come.
See my blog for our story: http://travelbug-susan.blogspot.com/2011/10/life-is-big-adventure-october-8-2011.html
First job is amazon.com in Fernley, NV, Oct. 30 to Dec. 23. Will anyone else be there?

Hawaii to Fernley/Fallon will be a bit of a shock to the system. We overnighted in Fernley in early November one year and our water hose froze. So be prepared and you will be fine.
Congrats on going full-time, it is always adventure.

Actually the shipper's map for directions to pick up our container included "Kayak 2,750" miles from Hawaii to Oregon. (Can't remember the exact number of miles, but Bob and I laughed and laughed over that one!)
Thanks for the water hose info. We're thinking of buying the heated water hose kit. Does anyone have any experience with those? Are they worth the money? If we don't get the heated water hose what other options are there to keep the water line from freezing?

We see you expect to be full-time in Dec. 2011. How's that coming?
We're in the final stage of going full time. Bought our truck and 5th wheel in Sept. in Portland, Oregon and will pick them up in less than two weeks, then off to Fallon.

We don't leave the water hose connected if temperatures are well below freezing. We use the hose to fill the freshwater tank and then put the hose away. It's near impossible to keep the CG spigot from freezing, but you can leave the water dripping in the sink, just make sure the gray tank has enough room.

Thank you for the info. We've read the average temp in Fallon in Dec. is 17 degrees F. Brrrr. I'm glad I have lots of warm clothes. But I think I may need heated blankets!

A little behind schedule but plans are falling into place. Purchased a diesel pusher 2 weeks ago so we're moving in the right direction.

Amazon at Fernley does not pay utilities on your site. It may be cheaper to use propane instead of electric. I forgot to mention that we don't leave the sewer hose deployed in freezing weather either...
