This fictional town had it all. But what if it wasn’t purely fictional? What if Mayberry did exist? At least, in some capacity. Well, it does. Mt. Airy, North Carolina. Hometown to Andy Griffith, the star of The Andy Griffith Show and the inspiration for Mayberry.
Located on Florida’s Gulf Coast is the picturesque town of Dunedin. This hidden gem of Florida should be on your must-see list. The wooded sub-tropical setting offers nearly four waterfront miles. Nearly weekly celebrations fill the delightful downtown. The surrounding streets are filled with sherbet-colored houses and a typical relaxed Florida lifestyle. Dunedin’s 29 city parks offer the community 270 acres of green space. While support for the locally-owned shops and restaurants offers a welcome reprieve from the all too common large chain stores with their commercial signs.
Wandering the streets of Dunedin you will find smiles everywhere while its residents enjoy the outdoors. Golf carts are a common sight. The golf carts are decorated for the closest holiday or favorite team. The trees of homes often display handmade “chandeliers” of solar lights. This delightful town is filled with personality!

With the changes to travel in the last couple of years, RVing is more popular than ever. People are taking their house on the road more and more – both as full-timers and weekend warriors.

We have skipped over the essentials and opted for the items that we find great for traveling and living an adventurous life!
