Welcome Deene and Sara! Sounds like you have the perfect background to do some adventuring :) It will be much better now because of: no strict schedules, no port of entry stops, being able to stop and actually experience the cool things you see!!
Fixing up an older RV is fun and challenging. There are so many good resouces on the web for ideas, instruction, and parts. I fixed up two - a 1976 Class C and a 1986 Class A. They were a bunch of work, and a bunch of fun. I learned so much about the inner workings of motorhomes, and it has stuck with me!
Good luck to y'all. I will keep an eye on your YT page for updates!
