hi to y’all out there wherever you are. Hopefully it’s where you want to be. My husband and I are getting ready to go full time in a 5th wheel and we have a new duramax diesel 2500HD Chevy 3/4 ton with all the trailer towing upgrades. What is the best 4 season 5th wheel, under 30 ft. now days? I have been heari...

I recently bought an '87 Jamboree with the intent of gutting it and installing a mobile sharpening service. But the more I dug into the coach the better the mechanical systems looked (aesthetics need some work, of course). Then, while planning the shop layout, I realized the actual volume of my equip...

This is Jerry and Betty in Texas and have just signed on. We have both just retired after putting in over 105 collective years of working. Since 2004, we have traveled by car to most of our USA for fun, to meet friends or family and we've done it by taking 2-3 week trips and staying in the hotels. We now want...

Thank you for allowing us to join your forum. Since this is an introduction, here's a short about me: I will be 56 in January. I grew up camping almost every spring/summer/fall weekend as a kid until about 17 years old with my parents, 3 siblings in a couple popup campers in the mid 60s to late 70's. I have a...

Hello All, Like the subject says DW and I are closing in on retirement and are strongly considering the full time RV lifestyle in either a 5'er or a Class A. One of the reasons for considering the fulltime lifestyle is because we don't know where we want to retire. We had a tent camper for years and real...

We are long-time RVers (weekends and vacations for the last 20 years) who attended two RV Dreams rallies, and we are finally ready to full time. We started our RV life in a 25’ fifth wheel and then went to a 32’ Class C motorhome. Shortly before we retired this year, we sold the motorhome and purchased a...

Hi everyone, as you can probably guess I'm brand new here. The reason I joined is that I'm in the process (a long one) of deciding what RV my wife and I purchase when I retire in a little over 2 years.

It took me awhile but the Rally in Pigeon Forge pushed my wife over to my side and is now agreeing that we need to go full-time. We are about to list our house and I told my boss I will be resigning my federal government civil service position in the April timeframe. My wife (Jari) is legally blind due to Mult...
