Good to meet you. Hope your house sell fast so you can hit the road in your class C.

Hi and Welcome Doris and Bob and good luck in your new life. Nice part of the country there in Hickory!

Sunseekers · RV-Dreams Community Member

Thanks Mark! We just listed our house this past Wednesday and have already had a # of showings with one offer in the works.

We can't believe it! Now we have to hustle to downsize yawn

We checked out your blog...so cool! Not sure if we will start one or not, maybe once we are on the road.

Take care and keep saving for your dream

Bob and Doris

Hi Marianne57 and thanks for the welcome. I see you're planning on going FT in 2016 in your Solitude. Very nice! We looked at those when we were thinking 5th wheel but then we did a complete 360 and decided to go class c motor home...go figure hmm

NeilRach04 · RV-Dreams Community Member

Nice to meet you! DW and I are from the Raleigh area, and are planning to begin our full-timing lifestyle in 2017. Like you, we have been following this site, as well as many others for about a year now. Lots of research and planning. RV-Dreams is definitely among the best, if not the best.

The very best of luck to the both of you!!!

Hi NeilRach04, nice to meet you also. I definitely agree that RV Dreams is awesome! They are very generous in sharing their wealth of knowledge. If it wweren't for them I'm not sure we would be trying this fulltiming thing...they have definitely inspired us. We can't believe we're finally moving forward with all of this...it's so exciting!

Did you get your Reflection at Bill Plemmons? We've been over to the Rural Hall location looking at the Reflection and Solitude, both are very nice rigs.

Good luck in your endeavors!

Yes, actually we did. Last year we bought a Keystone Laredo bunkhouse model at the Bill Plemmon's in Raleigh, thinking people would go camping with us, and nobody has in our first 5 trips. This year we changed to a rear living room model, for our future plans, at Plemmon's in Rural Hall. We were on a week long trip to Mayberry Campground and decided to take a day to run down to Rural Hall. Long story short, 2 days later we picked up our Reflection 337RLS. So far we love it. We are trying to plan another trip to Mayberry Campground in July. BTW - now someone wants to go camping with us, go figure, LOL!!

Nice to meet you. DW and I started full timing November 2014 and we love it. We are presently in Marion, NC. Hope to meet you on the road.

Thanks gilljr for the welcome. That's so awesome that you and DW are already out there fultiming. We hope to be out there within the next 5 months. We've got the house on the market and some possible offers already aww So hopefully it won't be long.

We are going to be camping at Tom Johnsons in Marion this weekend, we'll be on the other camping side across the road in site #12. Unfortunately we cannot go to the reunion because we haven't been able to go to any of the other rallies yet (probably can't until next year), but maybe (hopefully) we'll get to see/meet some of you all while we are there. Would love to meet Howard and Linda and thank them for all they do.

DH and I hope to meet you and your lovely wife

Congratulations and good luck! We hope to be in your shoes in a few short months in a new Class A diesel pusher. Maybe we'll be your neighbors in a campground somewhere down the road!

I thought it might be, thanks for that info. We'll have to ch

eck it out sometkme. Maybe we'll see/meet you and Rachael there.

Sunseekers · RV-Dreams Community Member

Thanks RonandBee! We hope you get to fulfill your dream very soon also. We are so excited, yet overwhelmed. I must say that once things start falling into place and moving forward, it does get a little scary, but then we never imagined that our house would go under contract within 1 week of listing it yawn

Offtosmelltheroses · RV-Dreams Family Member

Welcome to the Forum Doris & Bob! We also are in the process of trying to downsize! Sold a winter home in Surprise Arizona recently and trucked two UHauls full of "stuff" to Oregon where some of it went to the kids, some into a small place we still have in Oregon and some to garage sales. What a chore! April in Arizona is not the time to be moving furnture, particular at our age! We figure it's gonna take us another year before we're ready to hit actually hit the road, but in the mean time, we've really enjoyed reading all the posts here. This forum is so full of friendly and informative folks, We can't wait to get out there and meet as many as we can on the road.

Enjoy the adventure!

Thanks Jim and Deb, sounds like you're working hard towards a great goal and taking it one step at a tikeepinglike us who just dove in. Wd put our house on the market a llittle over a week ago, thought we'd have some time to get rid of stuff, and within a couple of days we already have a contract on it. Wow yawn now we rreally have to hustle and get rid of stuff. Goodwill here we come!

Good luck your plans and keep dreaming!

Welcome aboard....

Sunseekers · RV-Dreams Community Member

Thanks Cori and Greg (and Hobie too), it was so nice to meet you as well. Unfortunately it was way too brief, but now that we will finally be out in the RVing world hopefully we'll see you again sometime. We will be trying to get to one of the rv-dreams rallies within the next year.

Be safe out there

Sunseekers · RV-Dreams Community Member

Hi how are you. I am new, just joined from Rowan county. I'm going part time as far as working on road as vendor, being that you're from my state, I am sure the name Rowan county tells a lot about why I am excited to finally have means to sell elsewhere as far as markets, etc. Here I pretty much take care of my regular customers, many of which are long time customers and go door to door style or set up only where I know owner or people in charge. I like shopping at the local flea market and buying what I need but handmade is not profitable as far as selling there.
