Hi I came across this site several weeks ago and now I find myself checking in just about every day so I think I should join. The information I find here is invaluable for someone just starting out.
Right now I rent an RV several times a year for a couple of weeks for vacations. My first time out in an RV and I was hooked. Great people, casual lifestyle, this is something I want to do for a while. In March of 09 I will start fulltiming. I'm leaning toward the purchase of a 5th wheel, but that may change. I've already reduced my worldy belongings to the contents of a cargo trailer parked at my sisters house in Fl. So in March I will "hit the ground running".
As a side note. . . Howard and/or Linda if you happen to read this I think you have a really good site here. I would imagine it's a great resource for a lot of people. I'm sure it took a lot of work to set this up and even more work to maintain it. Bravo! (so I guess I better go buy a birdfeeder or a hat) Just kidding.
I hope you all stay safe in your travels and I look forward to seeing some of you in the future.

HI there Jim and welcome aboard.
We start fulltiming in February. We are now looking for a small cargo trailer to store those things we intend to keep. For some day we will buy a house again. No way would Len give up all his tools!
Hope all your plans come together.

Thanks for the welcome. I will be back in the states next month for two weeks renting an RV again and this time wandering around the Arizona area. I was stationed in Phoenix about 25 years ago and have not been back to Arizona since.
For some reason I always find it interesting to go back to somewhere you used to live. I wander around and re-live old memories. I gives me a good feeling.
