Hi all,
My name is Maggie and I live in the Southwest Orlando area with my 14 year-old daughter. I work from home and we homeschool, so we decided it would be a wonderful plan to do some exploring, RV style. I have some experience with RVing (friends and family members), but most will be new to me.
I just purchased a 1994 Four Winds (Ford E350). Why a 1994, you ask? Basically it was all I could afford for now (don't even ask about the 1977 I almost bought). Anyway, it's old, but seems to be in good condition. It has about 30,000 miles on it, runs great, looks ok. All appliances work well, etc. I picked it up in Sanford drove it about 60 miles to Kissimmee yesterday and it handled well. I have someone doing a t/u on it now and checking for any issues. Then, it will need a serious cleaning.
I have been on this forum for a few weeks and am so happy to read all of the advice that everyone is offering (getting the one I was looking at inspected, which led me to a much better RV and purchasing a coach-net membership, etc.). I would love some suggestions of great places to visit and where to stay while we're there. Also, any safety advice for a single mom with a daughter traveling alone (we do have a dog with a great bark that will be traveling with us also)???.
Looking forward to a great adventure!
