Welcome to Kosher RVing; we are Bill and Sima Bozin. We are a retired, dati leumi couple, originally from Chicago, living in Israel. Recently, we bought a Winnebago Travato RV for the purpose of traveling the U.S. and possibly Canada. The purpose of this blog is so that family, friends, and anyone else who is interested can follow our travels and join in the adventure. In the RV we have our own kitchen, refrigerator/freezer, bathroom, shower, beds, and a whole lot more. All of the comforts we need so that we can travel self-contained.
Our RV is a Class B conversion van. It started out as a Dodge Promaster cargo van and was converted by Winnebago into our home-on-wheels. The Travato has many of the amenities of the larger RVs, just in a smaller, easy-to-drive package. Yes, one of the basic tenets to making this a successful adventure is that the two of us really do get along quite well, which will be necessary while traveling and living in such close quarters. As Mike Wendland (a fellow RVer and journalist) has written, “small home, big back yard.” And that is the purpose of this trip: to explore nature, see interesting places, and create new experiences.
After reading the above and if you are still interested in our travels, please follow us at www.kosherrving.com. Not only will we write about where we are and who we meet, we will also discuss the process it took to fulfill our dream and how we deal with day-to-day issues concerning kashrut, Shabbat, and other issues related to Yiddishkeit. If any of you decide to join in the travels, please consult your halachic authority, as we did.
Time to give credit where credit is due. Without the valuable work of our daughter Tomi Mager, putting this blog together, it never would exist. As anyone who knows me can attest, computers and I have a mutual non-aggression agreement. I don’t attempt to program them and they promise not to blow up in my face. I am limited to basic use and input. I come from the days of pre-electric typewriters and never seemed to acquire the knack of switching to a machine that is smarter than I am. Thank you, Tomi.
Take care and have fun,
Bill
