NEW ADVENTURE
This has been a WILD year for us!! We were sitting down in Mathis,TX with the temps on an average with heat index 115#&*# ! One day we looked at each other while sitting in our condo on wheels & said "we miss camping"! Mobil Suites is a beautiful RV but never felt like home. We wanted something that was more mobil! After discussing many options we wanted an airstream ( mostly me). We knew we didn't want new because we wanted to make it our own....we sold the Mobil Suite AND found "Queen"! That was her given name so decided to keep it!
Our first look at Queenie in FL!! She was a beauty but needed some work!
