    Planning a Full-Time Fifth Wheel Setup 3 Years Ahead

    Wife and I have decided to full-time RV once our youngest graduates. That doesn't happen for 3 years, so we have plenty of time to plan.

    Well, finally going to "settle down."

    As many of you know, I have spent my 70s and part of my 80s on the road full time.

(Could have chosen other son's area...

    What mail service do you use?

    We've become a bit unhappy with our present mail service and are thinking about making a change. This may or may not also involve a move from South Dakota to Texas. What service do you use and why? If you were starting again, would you use the same service? Thanks.

    Greetings

    I found this place while trying to figure out where the grounds are located for my lighting circuits, looks like a good place. It's been my experience that forums are excellent sources of knowledge. I'm not an rv'er in the normal sense, I rent a space in a park and live here full time, my 33'...

    Full-timers looking for insurance

    National General Insurance has informed us that they no longer have coverage for full-timers. We bought with them as they also included coverage on contents. A friend is with Progressive so we will get a quote from them provided they can include contents. Any other suggestions?

    RV Newbie
