We are Gene and Eileen from Northern VA and we are planning on retiring in the spring of 2014. We have spent the last year or more going to RV shows and dealers. They are all starting to look alike. This past September we rented a class C from Cruise America in Tampa FL and stayed at the Bay Aire RV Park in Palm Harbor, FL. for a week, we had a great time and enjoyed the RV experience. The camp hosts were very helpful. Then we went to the RV show in PA and have since narrowed the field to 5th wheels and small class As. Leaning towards a 5th wheel. We have settled on a floor plan that we like with a few modifications. Next up is getting our house ready for the spring market. We hope to sell our house, buy a MH or a 5w and truck and take it to the 2014 Spring Rally. We are happy we found this web site early in the process, (early 2013) it has provided lots of answers and guidance.

Gene and Eileen,
Welcome to being active participants on the RV Dreams forums. As you've discovered this site earlier, you probably know all about the advantages of both Howard and Linda's experiences and the knowledge base that is the forum members. Feel free to ask questions as we all learn from each other and that can help us keep from learning those expensive "ah-ha" moments.
Good luck with all your research and planning.
Terry

Welcome! and good luck with your plan!! We've been officially full time for 1 week now and are loving it:) Our grandson is on fall break and came to stay 3 nights with us. He was sooo excited to go "camping" in the "coolest house ever" on his break:) We roasted hot dogs and made s'mores over the fire, fun memories! The only down side is the house sell fell through, hopefully we'll get a new buyer SOON or the previous one will get another buyer for her home!

Hello from Jean & Jocelyne, finally your dream ain't so far. We also went to the Hershey RV show and let me tell you I had a hard time leaving without my RV. We hope to join the fulltimer community around september 2015. Good luck for the sale of the House and the final details.
