Well this is as good a time as any to say hello.

The wife and I will be picking our new 5th up on Saturday and the house is up for sale.

We will be transitioning to a modified fulltime status as I plan on working for about one more year. We couldn't wait until I retire to make the change, so hopefully the house will sell soon.

Welcome to the forum. Tons of information here, and lots of people to help you with your lifstyle change to full-timing.

Welcome to the best, and the friendliest, RV forums!

You couldn't have found a better forum.

Hello Steve, Sandy and all you other fine folks.

Well we took the new fiver out for a week. Miraculously every thing worked (Not our normal experience). Gee I wonder if I am the first person to. ummm customise there new trailer on the second trip?? I was so excited when I pulled into Beachwood campground I sort of forgot about that thing behind my truck, and well I introduced the 5r to a metal fence post guarding the entrance to the campground. They didn't seem to like one-anouther and both came away worse for the wear. I told the gate dude I would fix the fence and he said I wasn't the first and probably won't be the last.
Steve/Sandy, I used to have a lot at Lake Tyee way up on the hill also had a lot at Skagit river woods, but that was all years ago. We are just now getting back into the RV life, the house has been on the market for a couple weeks and 8 people have looked at it. No bites yet.

Thanks for the kind thoughts everyone.

Hello:

I'm just into fulltiming, & this my second trip to SW Virginia. I was down here last October, & managed to cost myself & my insurance some bucks - somthing about gas station barriers & leaning poles after dark.

I just left CT - one week after retiring, & going to E. Tennessee next Tuesday.

Still trying to "shrink" myself into the 5r. The house had too much stuff in it - & I didn't want to get rid of enough.

Hello Bill and welcome

Looks like we both had a turn of bad luck. Lets hope our roads will be wider in the future so to speak. Tomorrow we will tow our rig to the CG and we have a bit more stuff to get into storage before the closing on our house.

Bruce

Hi Bruce, I too christened mine in the first week. We were coming back from Fort Worth and found out a friend was in the hospital. We were in the hosp parking lot and I had a tight turn to make. I saw the post, but knew i had to put one of the back wheels over the curb to make the turn. When i felt the bump I thought it was the wheel and the curb. NOT!!!! It was the side of the rv and the post aaarrrrgghhh. Anyway a friend of mine owns a body shop and all of the hurt panels are removable, so I am taking them to him next week for repair. I got lucky (I Guess) Best of luck and welcome to the group. Steve
