We spent months researching what we wanted to do to expand our nature hikes for this year!
It's been fun to go online and learn so much about camping in the Southeast!
Over the years my husband and I have hiked, backpacked, slept in tents and just about every kind of camper they make. We even owned a motorhome for a few years and really enjoyed traveling in that.
But to go to the State Parks and campgrounds we are interested in, we needed something small!
So we bought the smallest travel trailer we could find that had everything we wanted.
We wrote down our 'wish list' and the Grand Design 'Adventure in Motion' met all of our needs.
A special thanks to George and Katie and everyone at Camper's Inn RV that made our dream come true!
The link HERE shows the AIM floorplan.
Come on in!
A view from the back! It's tiny!
It has a murphy bed that easily folds back into a comfortable sofa for daytime use.
It has a small dinette.
The kitchen has 2 burners, a deep sink, a confection oven/microwave and a refrigerator and freezer.
It has lots of cabinets, wardrobes and storage bins.
AND...a full bathroom along the back with a shower, toilet and sink.
A pocket door closes the bathroom off...don't worry! lol
Everything we wanted in a little more than 19 feet...that can be pulled by our Chevy Silverado!
We just picked it up a few days ago so we are busy learning the systems and figuring out where everything needs to go. There are things to purchase but we can use our 'extras' from our house.
So we'll be able to go a little farther away from home to 'discover the real Florida' and when the weather improves we would love to travel to some of the campgrounds in Georgia.
I was going to begin this post with "Someone's been very good this year" because we picked up the trailer just a few days before my birthday! How about a BIG RED BOW for the top!
We are excited to plan some camping trips. Have you ever been camping?

I haven’t been camping in years and I miss living in the woods. That looks like a great camper!
I am so excited for you!! Love the look of the camper and the size of it. I can't wait to hear all about your first outing. Have fun!!

How exciting. Oh the places you'll go and the stories you'll have to share. I'm excited for all your upcoming adventures.
How exciting! It is wonderful. I'm sure you'll have many great times.
We've owned a few without the years and always enjoyed them.
Dear Diane and Ron, What a luxurious way to camp!! Your new trailer is beautiful; and will be a lot of fun. The best part is: you will make so many wonderful memories!! This was a great Birthday gift! I hope you will have many nice trips to add to your memory bank, and I know you will take a lot of photos!! Enjoy! Love, Aunt Helen
Wow! Enjoy every minute. Looks wonderful and I'm looking forward to reading about your new adventures.
Wow--what fun--
just hope that you will be taking 'us' along with you--can't wait to start traveling--
hugs, di
That is both lovely and exciting news :)
It looks lovely, enjoy your camping trips. I'm already looking forward to seeing and reading about your coming adventures.
All the best Jan
Congratulations, Diane! Yes, we love camping. Until a couple of years ago it was always with a tent = that got old (so did we). Now we have a 21 foot Escape trailer and we drove all the way across Canada with it last summer. It was the perfect size for such a trip with all the conveniences we need. We're looking forward to doing more camping this year. Enjoy your trips!
I can feel the excitement in the air! I am delighted to read this blog post and to imagine all the wonderful adventures you're going to have. I love how compact it is by having that Murphy bed in the back. I have never seen one that had that before. I'm sure that we'll be able to tag along on all your adventures and that is also exciting to me. Have fun my dear friend and enjoy every minute :)
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Lots of fun times ahead for you!
It sounds like you are set for a myriad of upcoming adventures! You must be so excited -- it looks darling and I know you'll be having many wonderful times to share!
Dear Diane,
that's a cute pretty camper! And very luxurious inside!!!
I've also owned two small campers in my life, but none of them were ever so beautifully equipped: The first was when I was still a teenager: My parents had a large caravan that was on a permanent campsite in the summer, and my "dwarf " (from 2nd or 3rd hand) stood next to it like the kid from the big camper. I LOVED this retreat. Later, when I had my own small family, we wanted to go winter camping in a ski resort that I also knew from my own youth, and so we bought a small caravan that was winter-proof and second-hand and spent in it every ski weekend and some winter holidays for about 4 years. It was a nice time, but then some things changed at the campsite and something new came into our lives! Change is the only constant 😉
Have fun with your great camper and belated birthday wishes to you!
All the best, Traude

I am so excited for the upcoming travel posts. :-)
We enjoy camping too. For the past two years we have been doing camp/kayaking adventures. We pick non motorized lakes we want to kayak and find a campground near by.
Congratulations and give us camping tips too, I always like to learn a few new tips.
Love, Carla
I like the small caravan/camper. Despite its size, it's very modern and well-equipped. I hope you can visit beautiful places. No, we always opt for a bungalow, drive there, and stay for a week, engaging in activities like walking, running, and cycling.
Hello! What a beautiful camper!!!! I would love something like that someday! And Happy Birthday, my friend!
Looks like you are well equipped to do some distance travel.
Congratulations on the travel trailer. It is really pretty. Hoping that you had a wonderful birthday.
It might be tiny, but it looks like it has everything you need. So fun! Many adventures lie ahead.
I love it--- perfect for yall!! What a perfect birthday present! Can't wait for the first adventure!
We started out camping in a two room rent hen we had the kids, usually at camping grounds and then graduated to a tiny caravan followed by a one a bit bigger. I loved tenting but you get to the point where you want a bit more omfort.
Hoping you have a great time in your wee van. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures.

Diane, happy belated birthday! What a cute little camper and I can't wait to see and hear all about your new adventures in it.
aww... wonderful.....
waiting your reports of your observation when travel with RV.....good luck.
OH how exciting! I am so happy for you! We talk about this a lot but just can't seem to make that decision to do it. I am happy that you will get to do some real exploring with this lovely little camper! Can't wait to see the pictures you will be taking!! Happy Birthday indeed!!!!
Felicidades por la caravana, me ha encantado. Estoy deseando ver los reportajes que hagas en tus viajes. Abrazos.
Hi Diane, Wow, thanks for sharing your selection of an RV. It’s a great choice! I love it and thanks for sharing the pictures! Hope your travels are wonderful! John
Your new caravan looks very nice! It must be wonderful for you to try it.
Oh that's deluxe. I know it is small but it has it all over tent camping. You can move around without packing and unpacking everything plus you can stay dry when it is wet and warm on cold mornings. It has everything you need.
Congratulations. Looking forward to your posts on your adventures using your new trailer.
Congratulations! Looking forward to your being on the road blogs!
How exciting this looks perfect, I have always wondered about van life and I like the idea of still having a car for sightseeing. Will be following your adventures with delight too!

Your new caravan looks amazing - such a perfect size for just ttwo - and including a bathroom! a must have for me. Enjoy your travels and exploring.
Beautiful. Have nice trips with your camper.
Holy spokes! Congratulations on the new camper. Y'all are gonna have a ball. Be well.
Congrats! You will have such fun! I miss those days, my hubby and I had an over-the-cab pickup camper, tiny, no facilities, but so nice to travel with! Oh, the places you’ll go….
I’m sooo happy for you! Florida exploring will only get better and I can’t wait to see where you go and what you do! And you know we are campers, like you having camped in pretty much every possible way there is. And loving it all. Your new one reminds me of the tiny trailer, our most recently acquired one. But (It’s in Oregon now!)
