Who is this “Neil the Northpoint” and why is he so important?

Embarking on long journeys with our home-on-wheels has been an adventure unlike any other. Over the years, readers have shown curiosity about the lifestyle behind these extended trips—some spanning over 100 days! Questions often revolve around the logistics of travel, how we can get along in such a small space, and what does the RV look and feel like, particularly on the inside? So, this blog post will be all about the 5^th wheel trailer we affectionately call Neil the Northpoint, and many of the comforts we enjoy on the road.  

(If you want to know why we call the RV “Neil the Northpoint”, please check out the Sept. 30, 2024 blog post titled “1,000 Islands is more like 1,800 Islands, depending on your definition of an Island”.)

Unlike many of our previous posts, which primarily consist of written content accompanied by images, this post will incorporate video clips to enhance your understanding and visualization of our experiences while travelling. As a side note, there is a reason it’s called “Glamping”, so please do not be to judgy! 😇

Judy and I did extensive research before buying our 5th wheel camper. We chose a floor plan that maximizes living space for us as a couple, unlike many other campers with floor plans that focused on sleeping capacity. A salesman introduced us to the term "Couples Coach," which inspired our blog's address: https://www.couplescoach23.blogspot.com.  And when we do have guests, the bunk room and associated ½ bathroom make for a great guest suite. 

This is my 51^st blog post. I can’t believe it! My first blog post was published on June 3, 2023, just about 2 years ago. This milestone represents how far we’ve come in sharing our journey. Thank you for being part of our adventures, and we look forward to continuing to explore and share our discoveries, as we tell… the Rest of the Story.
