Welcome to Toad the Towed home on the Internet! I’m Dennis, and I’m thrilled to share our story and experiences with you. Our RV adventure began in the late 1990s when I was introduced to the world of RVing, cruising down the open road in a cozy Class C with my parents and grandparents in their own Class A motorhomes. Those early memories of exploration and togetherness laid the foundation for a lifelong love of RV travel.
As life took its twists and turns, I stepped away from the RV lifestyle for several years, tending to the demands of everyday life. However, the allure of the road and the yearning for new horizons never truly faded. In 2021, that yearning led us back to the RV world. This time, it was just my partner and me, embarking on a new chapter of adventures.
Our journey began with a smaller Class C, a vehicle that allowed us to embrace the freedom of the open road once more. But as life tends to surprise us, we soon realized that the RV lifestyle was about to take on a new dimension. Our child and grandchild started camping with us, adding new layers of joy and togetherness to our travels. However, the confines of our compact Class C proved to be too snug for the expanding circle of our loved ones.
The solution? An upgrade to a more spacious and comfortable Class A, providing us with the room we needed to enjoy every moment on the road with our growing family. Yet, one aspect of our RV journey remained unchanged – the desire for independence and exploration.
This time around, we decided to make a significant change in our RV setup. We equipped ourselves with a towable vehicle, a faithful companion that would grant us the freedom to venture beyond the campgrounds, to explore the hidden gems and treasures awaiting us just off the beaten path. No more feeling trapped at a campsite; we were ready to embrace the full spectrum of RV travel possibilities.
And it was during this transition that we stumbled upon a meaningful connection, a serendipitous twist that would soon become a cherished part of our RV identity. In our quest to personalize our towable vehicle, we uncovered the perfect moniker – ‘Toad.’ This simple yet profound name spoke to us, embodying the spirit of our RV adventures.
We decided to take it a step further and acquired a personalized license plate that simply read ‘Toad.’ And that’s when the magic began to happen. As we adorned our trusty ‘Toad’ with personalized decals and unique touches, we found that people around us responded with genuine enthusiasm and curiosity. Our ‘Toad’ had become more than just a vehicle; it was a symbol of our journey and the adventures we embraced.
It was this outpouring of interest and connection that inspired us to launch Toad The Towed, a platform where we could share our experiences, insights, and the undeniable joys of RV travel. Our goal is to not only document our unique journey but also to offer advice, inspiration, and valuable insights to fellow travelers and those considering the RV lifestyle.
We invite you to embark on this incredible journey with us, to explore the world, embrace the open road, and make each mile count. Our Toad The Towed blog is not just about our story; it’s about the stories we create together. We look forward to connecting with you, learning from your experiences, and sharing the magic of the road less traveled.
Thank you for joining us on Toad The Towed. Here’s to many more miles, memories, and adventures ahead!
