Kirk W Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 It is fairly common for those who anticipate going on the road full-time to wonder about what will happen on holidays. While we are no longer fulltimers, we still remember some of those gatherings as being among the most enjoyed in our years of experience. This year our RV is stored away and we are snug in our home-base but we usually use it to travel to one of our son's homes for the big gathering. This year we will just be making an overnight trip but will join two of our sons and family for the day. Would you share your plans for the special day and also mention if you are a fulltimer, or even just traveling by RV for the holiday? EDIT: I failed to mention, we will be with the sons in a northeastern suburb of Dallas. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

WeBeFulltimers Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 We are full-time and will be sharing Thanksgiving with our 3 children and their spouses and also our 6 grandchildren in Eastern Tennessee. Once again we have reserved a large enclosed pavilion at a state park for the event. It is fully equipped to include large kitchen and fireplace. Works great for us!

Dog Folks Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 We will be at our winter home in South Florida and entertaining our son, in our RV. Since we started full timing, this has become a tradition, as the RV is our home.

dzwiss Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 We will be celebrating our Thanksgiving this year by enjoying a wonderful potluck Thanksgiving dinner at the gravel pit in Senator Wash LTVA north of Yuma.

Chris-n-Dennis Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 We're full timers now and park hosting at Sunset Bay, Oregon this year. Plans are still in the air as to having dinner some visiting family at home (site B4) or at the Coos Bay Casino which is having a Thanksgiving buffet. Weather will play a big part in the final decision. Berkshire XL 40QL Camphosting and touring Our blog: cndtravels.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandsys Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 My best RVing Thanksgiving was the meal at Rainbow's End. They cook the turkey and gravy and everyone else brings sides for groups of 12. That's a nice size table for group conversations. Being off the road for now, Dave will make a pumpkin pie and buy a precooked turkey breast and we'll go right for the turkey sandwiches since we don't need that huge meal and there will not be a big family gathering here this year to share all those other dishes.

Dennis M Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Well, we had planned on being at Desert Trails in Tucson to enjoy dinner with our friends there. Then I had surgery on my foot the week we had planned on leaving so we are sitting here in Illinois with 8" of fresh snow! We will have Thanksgiving dinner with Nancy's Mom and sister and hopefully the following week I will be recovered enough to drive the truck and we can head finally south. AND we will be heading out as full timers since the house will be sold and whats left of the furniture in storage!

LFDR3116 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 We are at the gulf coast, MS. The owner of the park puts on a huge feast (free of charge) for the campers, his employees and families and a few relatives. We did this yesterday. Santa also made an appearance for the children handing out candy canes and telling them he was keeping his eyes open noticing who were the ones that were being good boys and girls. The kids loved it. There wasn't a person who wasn't stuffed and there was still enough food so that anyone who wanted could take home leftovers. Pat DeJong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mionerr Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 We will celebrate with just the 2 of us. We rarely spend time at Thanksgiving any other way. We enjoy cooking the dinner together and eating the leftovers for days. Our kids are all too far away and mostly in cold weather locations. Well, so are we, but not next year! This year will be interesting as it is our first Thankgiving as fulltimers. Haven't lit the oven yet. It will be an experience.
