My wife Sharon and I have been camping since we got married. We started with a very used 1963 Starcraft popup. Those days were fun with the four kids and dog; setting up in heavy rain, cooking out over the fire, walking one of the kids in the middle of the night to the bath house !!! The memories are good , but I’m also glad we moved on too . I still have the popup , its a utility trailer now .
We’ve had a few trailers 22 foot to 33 ft . Then when the last child left the house, ( do they ever really leave ? ) around five year ago we bought a 1995 Winnebago 32 foot . Oh , what a thrill it was to drive in that . It was then I started to really think about going full time and retire as early as I could . Actually, I think the first time I can remember thinking about going fulltime was on Vacation to Disney with the kids and our golden Cody, driving there in a conversion van pulling a 33-foot weekend, we stopped for gas. Always an event in itself with bathroom calls (those years there was no time to waste to stop just for potty breaks, after all we only had a weeks vacation !!!!) Sorry for rambling on there. As I was filling up the tank I looked up and here comes a BIG class A pulling a jeep. Oh my, it was BIG and had shiny windows everywhere, Two air conditioners on the roof and did I mention it was BIG? Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better then this the door opens and without any effort the steps actually came out AUTOMATICALLY !!!!! At that exact time , I knew that some day , some how I’d get me one of those auto steps and maybe a rv too . ...
Sharon and I now have a 38 foot with two slide outs and everything goes as planned on the after my 55 birthday ( 22,NOV, 2009 ) we’ll be leaving to start our new life and adventure .

PALSAL,
Welcome to one of the friendliest forums on the net.
You didn't say, so I'm wondering, does that RV of yours have those AUTOMATIC steps?
Be sure to jump right in with any questions or answers.
