Hi, everyone. We've been full timing since April 2001. We actually started out in a 1986 23' Winnebago class A. That lasted almost a year. Then we bought a 34' Itaska. We kept that a couple of years and decided if we were going to really be serious RVers, we needed a DP with slides. We are now living i...
