In another 5-6 weeks, we are going to pick up our new 32' Springdale 5th wheel. We have had a couple of pop ups, a 21' hybrid & an older 20' TT. I also have moved a couple of 28' transportation trailers around a yard & into a dock but that was 15 years ago! What advice, tips or things have you...

We have camped since our kids were young & now we have 2 more grandkids to treat to the camping experience! We have done things even when fuel costs were higher than they are now that we could not have afforded if we had to use hotels & restaurants. I agree with everything written in the above...

I guess I would start something if I paraphrased that to read: "Half the income, Twice too much wife"  :o It isn't that my "Honey-do list" is killing me...it's that my wife is going to kill me if I don't get more on the list done!  ;) Vic

Thankfully my father taught me the "glass is half full" theory! If you run into a problem, you either fix it or learn to live with it...sure makes life a lot easier & less stressful! One of the big things in retirement planning that bites most people is medical expense. You are getting older &...

Congratulations, Poppy, on your new 5er & your first trip with it! We are looking forward to picking up our new 5er in about 7 weeks...something about  a little snow up here in Canada! Reading your comment about picking the floorplan that suits you made me smile because that was the advice we...

I retired three years ago & I can tell you that retirement ain't all it's cracked up to be....it's better! Our income is half of what it was when I worked but we seem to be able to do more with it & seldom notice our "poverty". We find ways to do the things we love usually without creating...

Kevin, you are receiving lots of great advice from the posters here. Having worked our way up the RV ladder & having camped with our sons and now their kids, I would like to add a couple of things to the discussion: Based on our "kids" experience, let the kids help pick the unit you buy...

Funny... we are called the Great White North here in Canada but the midwest & northeast US has gotten a lot more snow than we have sitting about 30 miles above Lake Ontario! Hi, my name's Vic & my DW's Darlene. We reside in Peterbough, Ontario, Canada about 60 miles northeast of Hog Town err...

Moving up from a tent through a pop up then a 21' hybrid to our new 5er, it only seemed appropriate to call the new trailer "The Palace"! More space, more luxury, more amenities.....definitely, in our situation, the name fits! :) Now all we have to do is get a TV & pick the trailer up to take it...
