I sure do appreciate the suggestions, the detailed campsite information and the general advice. Hopefully it will keep coming. I feel much more confident in what I read hear than on the internet in general. The RV Park near Buckeye AZ looks interesting and I intend to look closely at the State &...

Hi All, We are new "full timers" and have been on the road for about 40 days. Thus far we have been visiting family & friends. Traveling in between places we have tried truck stops, a visitors center, a church parking lot (with permission) and a couple RV parks. We are presently in Colorado with...

Our 2008 Tiffin Allegro 32BA owners manual shows a terminal marked "Battery Charge" on the plug at the back of the motorhome. Does anyone out there know where this constant 12 volts is fed from? That is, where is the fuse that protects this power source? Our MH is built on the Ford F53...

Mr. Bojangles, Thank you for your kind words. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that "fulltiming" will be what I imagine. I was expressing what I think, what I hope and what I believe we will experience when we embark on our new lifestyle. Time will tell. The reality is out there and we are...

"When in doubt, don't". So we didn't. We are staying put, for now. At least as far as our declared domicile is concerned. Therefore we will pay the higher sales tax on our just purchased MH.  We needed to make a decision rather quickly.  And as it turned out it was the health insurance...

The one (1) week anniversary of buying our MH (in which we will Fulltime) is still a few days away. An RV Forum thread titled "Don't fulltime", as one might imagine, is gonna get my attention. I thought "this is going to be interesting". Rather than "Oh darn, what did we do?" It was an...

It's done. We have taken possession of an '08 Tiffin Allegro Open Road 32BA. Thanks again to all who shared their thought and considerations. We think we made the right choice. It's a lot bigger than what we started looking at and it's has all of our "musts" and most of our "wants". Although we...

We plan to move out of our appartment the end of this next April and into our, soon to be purchased, MH. Through next summer we will split our time between the MH and our sailboat and hit the road next fall when the sailboat comes out of the water and into winter storage. We keep our sailboat...

Thanks to all who replyed to my "most popular motorhome for full-timers" question. A lot of good comments and points to consider. As far what kind of full-timeing we will be doing. I don't think I could say, entirely, until we get started. Although I can say for sure that we will on a budget...

I would like to ask what Folks would say is the most popular Type (as in A, B, B+ or C) and size of motorhome for Full Timers? And maybe some reasons why. Jim

I have been studying about and searching for "small class A" motorhomes recently. Ever since a salesman at a large RV dealer suggested one would be better for our purpose than the class "C's" or "B+'s" that we were asking about. We plan to full-time starting about a year from now. But may buy...

We looked at '05 Gulf Stream "Indedendence" class C recently and wondered what others know or feel about them. This one is just shy of 30' and in pretty good shape. It is on the Ford 450 chassis and has the Ford V-10 motor. The length is a little more than what we thought we would want. This...

Thanks Tom. I will take your suggestion and study those pages carefully. I do admit that until your reply I had only looked at the message boards. I see now that there is a lot to learn elsewhere in addition. One of the aspects of Full-Timing I want to learn about is Boondocking. With so much...

Hi Everybody. First I would like to say thank you to all those who established, organized and have maintained this wonderful discussion board. It's a good one! My name is Jim. My wife Bertie and I are giving serious consideration to becoming "Full-Time RV'ers". We do not presently own an RV but...
