Here is our 05 Journey 34H  Jack & Peg  FMCA 403927

Welcome Dale and Linda!  My wife and I are pretty new to motor homing and are planning to go full-time when we retire next summer.  This is the place to ask all the questions you have as there are plenty of knowledgable people here to help you out! :)

Hi Ricki and welcome to the forum!  My advise is to take it slow, check-out all your systems in your RV before you take off on a trip, read all your manuals at least once, and most of all enjoy the RVing experience!!  This forum is a great place to get advice and to ask questions as there are...

Hi bostonchris!  We have one more year to go to retirement and will be full-timers.  RVing is the way to go and it will be an awesome experience for your kids to travel across country in a MH.  When our kids were young we did lots of camping in a large cabin tent and my kids loved it.  They are...

Hi rv10man!  Welcome to the forum!  Hope all is well in OKC!  Here in Maine it is nothing but Rain, Rain, and More Rain!!!  Hopefully, the weather will turn around soon as we have a 10 day rally to go to in July.  Happy RVing!

Rutherford "I have another question about something I found up on the roof, but never paid attention to it before. I have what looks like a vent tube sitting up a few inches near the front of the RV, but it has a metallic, kind of foil-like cover on it. I am not going to do anything to it, but...

My question is different from the discussion on the link you sent me to Indy Itasca, although it is an interesting discussion on what type of caulking to use.  I know what I plan to use, my question is how is the best way to remove the old caulking and it anyone had any special techinques to...

Thanks for the info on the Texas SP's dawop2!  I have had some time to check some of them out for volunteer camp hosts and they look like really sweet places!  I will have to apply to some of them next winter/spring for the 2010-2011 winter season.  I'm even thinking of claiming residency there...

I noticed today that there is some separation of the caulking on the joint where the roof meets the side wall near the gutter.  I can get the right caulking from a Winnebago dealer.  My question is how is the best way to remove the old caulking and apply the new caulking?  Anyone have any...

Congrats on your new Sightseer!!!  I know you will all love it,  have some awesome times, and build some memories that will last a life time!  I know you'll love the Winnie, they build a very good quality coach.  My in-laws have a Adventurer 35U and love it and we just bought an 05 Journey 34H...

Hi amblealong!  We just bought our MH last fall and haven't retired yet, still have a year to go.  We are planning on full-timing, but my in-laws have been snowbirding in Southern Texas for quite a few years in their 35U Adventurer and love it.  If you really plan on RVing do your research and...

Thanks dawop2! Sounds like a nice place and will have to check it out, especially if there is good fishing there!  Maybe we'll see you there in the winter of 2010-2011.  We can't wait to retire and go full-timing!  My wife has had it with the cold, snowy, and very long winters of Maine.  If I...

Hi gaulstat!  Good Luck in your adventure of full-timing!  Thanks for your service.  I'm retired from the Navy after 21 years and I have one more year to go teaching to retire for the second time and then we will be full-timers!  Looking forward to seeing this great country of ours while I'm...

Hi Xsailor!  Hope you find the MH you are looking for.  We bought our first MH last fall after almost 3 years of searching.  If you need any info or advise I'm sure you will find it on this forum.  Good Luck on your search and Happy RVing! 

G'day tbird64!  By the way I remember Melanie, my favorite was Candles in the Rain!  I guess that dates me!  I hope you have good luck in your RV venture and are able to accomplish getting one and getting it into your country.  Surprises me that it is cheaper to buy it here, ship it, and convert...
