My Wonderful Husband was in Marines Infantry ( aka grunt) and we have called ourselves the Grunt family for years. Now we are making a HUGE lifestyle change and giving up everything that we have worked really hard for to pursue a life of more freedom and simplicity and becoming fulltime RVer. We have a opportunity coming up that will allow us to do this, our timeline is unknown right now but should be within 6mths to a year. Our traveling group will be Hugo (aka hubby), honeygrunt (aka wifie), Divagrunt (aka daughter 8yo), Devilpup (aka Son 6yo) and our Belgin Malinois (aka Tink), and our daughters Chihuahua (aka chloe, but we call her Ratta). We've been lurking the RV forums and looking at ALOT of RV's and trying to get educated before we hit the road.
We love finding out where people are going and what they are doing and it makes us EXTREMELY Jealous that we cant leave yet. SOON WE HOPE.
Like we have mentioned, we have been looking at alot of RV's and we think we found our new home and it is Open Range 427BHS. Seems to have most of the features that we are looking for in an RV.
Hope to see you on the road soon.

Hugo and Honey,
Welcome to the RV Dreams forums. Since you've been reading for a while, you already know that there are a lot of friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable folks here. When you have questions, feel free to ask them. You'll get a lot of good answers and alternative ideas and just a few smart-alecky ones as well.
Thanks for your service to our country and thanks to the family for making sacrifices for the one serving. You have all "served" even if you didn't paid for your service.

Welcome to the forum, and thank you for your service to our great country, Daddy Grunt! We are wannabes, too, and I have been doing my homework for months, now. You should see the spreadsheets I have put together. I have even figured out how much we can 'save' by getting rid of our sticks and bricks. It's a whopper!
I am eligible for retirement exactly 39 weeks from today! Like you, we CAN'T WAIT to hit the road. As you have questions, ask away! There is plenty of experience here, and very kind and gentle people who are willing to share with us newbies!
God bless,

Welcome to the forum . . . it's nice to see more families hitting the road! Open Range are nice rigs . . . just make sure it's durable enough for fulltime living.

Thank you all for your warm welcomes. We will keep you updated on our progress and any questions we have.
We do have one question: The RV we are wanting to get is a 43 footer does anyone know if that will be a problem for us at RV sites.
Thanks Hugo and Honey Grunt

Our trailer is 39' and so far we haven't had a problem. We haven't been to the east coast yet, where the RV sites are smaller in the older parks.
