DOROTHY’S STORY
Dorothy was built in Kansas. But she’s not in Kansas anymore …
Why we’re selling: We’ve had an unforgettable time traveling and living in Dorothy — some of our best memories! We’re selling because we’re “settling” down now with new jobs and a mortgage (fun stuff). Honestly, we considered keeping Dorothy, but we don’t want to slow her down. She’s made for adventure and we’d love for her next person or family to enjoy the lifestyle as much as we did.
Where Dorothy’s Been
— British Columbia (her favorite!)
— Alaska
— Montana
— Oregon
— Washington
— California
Where She’d Love to Go
