Hi Everyone, I don't know how to honk online but here goes. Our name is Walter & Dawn Bates, recently retired, together we raised two kiddos and are now empty nesters (except for Bella the Pom & Dolly the Standard Poodle). We love to travel, meet new people and visit new places. After months of research we purchased a 1999 U270 Foretravel in May this year, received my class B driver license endorsement (required in Texas if MH over 26,000lbs), installed our own 50amp, water & septic hookups and have taken two trips. We are not currently planning to go full time but who know what the future holds. We ran across Howard and Linda's very helpful website and are looking forward to meeting them other like minded folks at the Fall rally.
