The Chiweenie

Nala is a small but mighty chiweenie who loves to explore and make new friends (especially female ones). She has a big personality and likes to be the center of attention. This will be her first major trip with Deb and Jerry; she was just adopted as a rescue dog in March 2026. Her favorite pastimes so far are lying in the sun, chasing lizards and birds, and trying new foods. She should get plenty of practice on this trip. She is 6 years old and weighs approx 11 pounds

The Humans

The humans on this trip are Jerry and Deborah Jones from Oro Valley, Arizona. They have been looking forward to the trip for months! This will be the first major trip in the Sunflyer for them. They recently sold their home in Washington state and are living full-time in Oro Valley, Arizona. They are not too excited about spending everyday in 100 degree temps though. Hence this trip to cooler climes. It will also give them a chance to visit iconic places like the Black Hills and Santa Fe.

The Winnebago Sunflyer

The 2027 Winnebago Sunflyer is the perfect vehicle for exploring the great outdoors. It's spacious, comfortable, and equipped with all the amenities you need for a memorable road trip. Deb and Jerry purchased it recently in Las Vegas and are anxious to try out all the bells and whistles. It is certainly an improvement over their last RV, a class B camping van.
