Hi, I'm 60 something and will be traveling alone. I have never owned an RV but did travel with my mother & stepfather across the country in 1995. I drove my van and they drove their C-class RV. We stayed at some wonderful campgrounds and saw some amazing country.
I have a million questions but I'll start by reading through the postings here as I'm sure many 1st timers have the same questions. I'm interested in learning all I can about full timing as I will be making a decision by the end of the year about putting my house up for sale and will want to get on the road sometime in 2015.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
There are many ways to get ready for full timing with an RV and learn during the journey. I am taking my time to learn. I bought my first 5th wheel two years ago when I turned 50. I had never owned a 5th wheel and did not have a truck to pull the 5th wheel. However I had been renting and decided to buy and move into a 5th wheel. I keep the 5th wheel in a campground and learn about RV maintenance and ownership. Six months later I bought a F350 truck and have been learning to drive and back and set up the RV. I have moved to two campgrounds in the last year. My DRV 5th wheel may not be the 5th wheel I have when I retire, but I am learning along the journey at my own pace.
