Good day all:
I'm another Dave W. I was raised in south Florida. After one year in college I did six years in the Army. After discharge, I went straight to Nevada and lived and worked there for 42 years. I'm practicing being retired now.
In my former life, I was a radar technician in Navada. In that capacity, I also worked on special projects, or installations, at other locations but was always based out of Nevada. My address of record now is in Alpharetta, Georgia, but I keep my RV in Talladega, Alabama. I split my time between the two locations when I'm not on the road. I made the trip to Alaska with the beast last year and went swimming in the Arctic Ocean at Prudhoe Bay, AK. By the way, no, I didn't take the trailer north of Fairbanks. I drove the truck solo to Deadhorse. When my number is called, I can honestly slide in sideways with a smile on my face and say what a great ride it's been.
I've traveled around much of western Europe. I've also traveled all over the "lower 48", usually on the Harley Ultra touring bike tricked out for some really serious road trips of a month in duration. Unfortunately for me, my spinal surgeon hinted that perhaps I might start speaking of my riding days in the past tense. So, I sold the bike.
I started doing my research on RVs back in 2018, when it was "we". I bought a 2021 Silverado 3500 dually late that year. After I had the truck parked in my driveway, I ordered a 2022 Grand Design Momentum 395 toy hauler as my first RV.
There were four "show stopper" requirements for an RV. Number one was to have access to the bedroom and bath, including the shower, with all slides in and ready for the road. The second requirement was hydraulic disk brakes. 35,000 pounds is a lot of weight to stop going down the mountain. The third "show stopper" requirement was to have space to install a residential washer and gas dryer set. The fourth was to have a 7 kw generator installed. And the 395 Momentum filled the bill. Although I'm disappointed with the build quality.
That's about it in a nutshell.
