I am dreaming of fulltiming at retirement time in 4-6 yrs. I will be going Solo, and it scares my son and family! I will be spending the next few years, purging, simplifying, and educating myself by reading a bunch of sites like this! I am so glad to have found you! Are there any chapters of your group out west? It seems that your get-togethers have been in the Great Lakes area, I would love to rub shoulders with other like minded people out here! Hope to get to know you better!

Not necessarily groups out West, but several of us that stick to the West Coast. Where are you currently located? We travel WA/ID/OR/NV/CA and AZ for 95% of our travels, following the good weather, of course.

Welcome!! Have met quite a few solo's out there and continue to be impressed. Know a few of them that travel in groups, some travel by themselves, but all seem to really enjoy themselves!! Welcome!!

Janeen,
Welcome to the RV Dreams forums. You will find the folks that participate here are very friendly and helpful. As for groups, RV Dreams doesn't really have those, but there are RV Dreams folks all over the country. What you may be seeing for back East are Howard and Linda's seminars, and they are staying East because of Howard's dad's health.
While we aren't traveling yet, we are currently in the Colorado Springs area, and we've met up with a few RV Dreams folks here. If you are interested in meeting folks from the forums, just post a question in some place like "Community Chat" to see if anyone is in an area where you will be. You can also check out the forum category entitled, "RVillage Members Discussion Forum." I guess if you sign up for that, as long as folks keep their location updated, you could find where you will be.
Have fun with the research and planning.

Sounds like you need to include a portable Hot Tub, a few candles, something nice to drink - Nightmares gone!

As I read more, I see this site is more packed with info than a "club" type thing! I am anxious to get out on the road, but there is a lot of work to do first - Like retire! Thanks for your post!

Thanks for your post!. I guess I am not really all that alone ~ I have a 13 lb boyfriend that takes his half out of the middle! Really, what my main concern is, is maneuvering a truck and 40' Fifth wheel. But I guess, it is something that I can learn to do!!!

We've not attempted a huge (to us) 5er trailer but that isn't stopping us from taking on the challenge when our time comes, so we're cautious, but not afraid. Dream on! Game on! The only thing we have to fear.... is fear itself. No Fear!
