Hello, just 4 months to go until retirement and then we hit the road, read every book on living in our motorhome and seeing this great country. We are going to keep our home in Michigan and travel in the winter, we will have to do workamping, which we don't mind as long as it is along the lines of hosting, my husband has bad knees and can't walk far so uses an amigo for distance, but hoping to use a golf cart provided by the campgrounds, also financially we have to work or at least volunteer for FHU and site, without selling our home things are going to be tight, my income will be cut in half with being on SSI and a small pension and my husband is on SSDI, we have a small house payment but our motorhome is paid for. We want this so bad and most of all need it for peace of mind, not too mention for health reasons! We are hoping to find something in the Southwest where the weather is great in the winter months. We plan on selling a lot of extras we don't need anymore, even hoping to rent our furnished home out for a year at a time and when we come home in the spring stay in a campground around here and camphost! So wish us luck and would love some input from anyone else out there with handicaps! By the way I am in great shape and hold a CDL with passenger indorcement. Viola and Craig Cooksgone!
