My kind a girl! We are off on holiday tomorrow in our UK caravan, it is a big one but not as big as your fabulous motor homes, I am trying to talk my OH into getting one but he just bought a Harley so I will have to wait!

Hi,
My name is Sue, also known as rvdiehl, and I live anywhere in the US I choose. My husband and I have been living full-time in our motorhome for the past nine years, and we love it.

I am so in awe of this website and the huge audience from all over the world. I learned to cross-stitch as a child ...
