My New RV
(Preview)
Today I found and bought my new RV: a 2004 Georgie Boy Cruise Master 3625DS. I get to bring it home on April 1st. I would say that you have no idea how happy I am, but I am sure that all of you do know. I cannot get this big grin off my face!! I know -- pictures -- but I haven't figured that part out yet.

Grateful for the flexibility of this lifestyle!
(Preview)
We're finding a very unexpected blessing of not being tied to a house and yard. In mid-Feb. we unexpectedly cut our winter in AZ short by a couple of weeks, cancelled an art show in NM and a chance to explore a bit of southern NM on our way to TX to hurry to Dallas to be with Dale's Mom during her last few days...

I apologize, in advance, for this long post, but it might be time to update everyone on my/our situation.As many of you know, there was a point in time when I was counting down the months, weeks, hours, minutes, and seconds prior to retirement and being able to hit the road. The obsession took over and,...

Happy Dance! Happy happy dance!
(Preview)
I just went from a newbie to a happy Dancer! Just signed the papers on a 1998 Fleetwood Jubilee, take official possession on Sunday (been staying in it for the last 6 days), and start the trek back to my former abode to get my stuff out/sold/given away, and start my new adventure. Can't wait!

Favorite Howard Journal Entries
(Preview)
Well I finally got caught up on Howard's blog. I started back in September and read a month a day (unless life got in the way) and just finished. Somewhere along the way I started treating it as part research projects and took tons of notes on things I learned but I also marked down all my favorite journa...

We will mostly play it by ear, and go where we feel the next intresting sight/adventure is. We have a new 5er, truck, and will keep the Miata, especially for the...

RVing as an Introvert
(Preview)
How many folks here identify as an introvert (versus an extrovert?) I know I do. And by the way, this isn't the same as being shy or not wanting to be social. It's more about where you get your energy from - from alone time and time in smaller groups, or from being in larger groups. If you're not sure if you...

Will FT as a couple but wouldn't alone...does that mean anything?
(Preview)
Woke up this morning with the thought that if it wasn't for Lee, I would never in a million years be doing this. Before you jump to conclusions :) what I mean by that is I would never have the guts to do this alone. I see many women doing it solo and am incredibly impressed, but right now I don't have that kind...

Do you even wonder what happens to those that were active members and then just disappear? I used to read and post occasionally, but never gave it much thought as to where an active member went and why when they no longer were posting. Then, it happened to me! I became a non-active member (still a member,...

I have been following Howard and Linda's web site for a couple of years now. It put into motion a life long dream of living in an RV on the road. In May of 2013 we bought a 2008 42' Monaco. In October the house sold, what we did not sell we gave away. On January 15, 2014 we officially retired. On January 28...

No, it's not flowers blooming or birds chirping, it was an actual sighting of a 5th wheel on the highway!!! I understand, not a big deal for those living the dream....or even living in a warmer climate, but on my way to work today (in Pennyslvania) I passed a 5th wheel--on the road; it has to be a sign that...

Do NOT Attempt This At Home

In light of MarkS's image of his teenie car "appearing" to pull his new Trilogy, I thought an old e-mail message out to be revived. This thing floated around some years ago, so many may have already seen this. However, I feel we may have enough new RV'ers that they need to be initiated into h...

Mike is a major reason we joined this forum. He has his head screwed on straight and has been inspirational with h...
