If you travel around the internet reading and joining forums you may recognize my user name - FastEagle - because I’m a joiner. I do use other names but that one is used most often.
I don’t have a canned introduction. It evolves with time. Might be close, similar or look just like others. I assure you I do not have it memorized.
In 2002 after living in Jacksonville, FL for 19 consecutive years and building two homes from the ground up we decided to sell everything and go RVing. We did a lot of homework - not nearly enough - and decided on the fifth wheel. We did not want any truck larger than one ton so that hampered our super fiver dreams. In the end we got a three slide Everest with a 14.1K GVWR. We added a washer/dryer and upgraded the single AC to 15K to help offset the W/D weight. The specs say the trailer is 37’3”. Actually from the back edge of the ladder to the leading edge of the hitch protrusion it’s 37’10”. We have always called it our 38 footer. It now has over 70,000 road miles and has been very durable. It and our Dodge Dually have, on average, a GCW of 22,000#. Our truck is rated at 23,000# GCWR with the auto 4.10 combination.
A few years ago we came off the road and now reside in a small manufactured home community in the SC foothills just 50 miles north of Asheville, NC. It’s a 55+ age restricted community and all yard work including trimming and blowing is provided, so that worry is out of our minds while off roaming around the country.
I have a number of RV related blogs and will post them as I get situated in this forum. I’m a prolific RV tire poster. We have some hobbies that are easy to do on the road and I’ll post them in those forums. Long winded at times too so I’ll quit and give you time to digest.

Cal and Linda,
I welcomed you elsewhere, but then I got to thinking that you might not check back to that category. So, allow me to welcome you again. From what I've seen of your comments so far, you will likely be a valuable source of information for the rest of us.
