I have been trying to buy an RV for about a year now and was able to finally find the right match. RV buying is hard work, as is selling. The RV I found just happened to be about as far away as possible (Independence, OR) and getting it home to NJ was going to be a huge challenge/adventure. This trip included A LOT of firsts for me. First time owning an airplane, first time behind a C/S prop, first time flying outside of 100 miles of my home airport, first time flying an RV solo, first time landing at a class B airport, first time over BIG mountains, first time flying VFR over the top, first time flying in weather less than 2000' OVC. It was an experience of a lifetime and one that I am glad I survived.
This was my eventual route. The weather was not helpful at all as the poor guys at SnF will contest.
3100+ miles and over 20 hours.
Worked half a day then headed for the Philadelphia airpoort to get on a big bird for Portland. Had 1 stop in Phoenix with a 2 hour layover.
On top leaving 10000 or so.
By the time I got to my hotel in Portland is was 12 midnight, 3am for me, and I was quite happy to see this bed!!!
