Time flies when you're having fun. I just realized that 4 years ago on October 18th 2003 Lorraine and I officially became RVers and more importantly FULL TIME RVers.
On October 18th we spent our first night in our new 2955RL in our driveway in northern NY. On October 20th, 2003 at 8:30 AM we pulled out of our Brier Hill, NY driveway on an unknown adventure. Since than our voyages have taken us from New Hampshire to California, from Michigan to Florida. There are still many places to go and many many sights to see. You know we don't regret one single minute. Oh sure there were bad days but the GOOD days far out weigh the bad ones. Yeah, there were many times we missed the old stick house and in my case my brand new garage/workshop but that very quickly became a fading memory.
Also on October 29th 2003 was the last time Lorraine and I experienced freezing temps. On that morning we awoke to 28° and a frozen water regulator. I threw that regulator in the trailer with the hose still attached and we headed south. That was the very last time we were in temps below 35° and we love it.
That same morning we tripped a 15AMP circuit breaker where we were connected to the stick house. That same morning we blew the 30 AMP fuse to the front jacks. Luckily I had a 30 AMP fuse in my tool box.
As thay say, "all things come in 3s" and those 3 items may have been the reasoning that we had so few problems since than.
Knowing than what we know now, would we do it again? In a heartbeat!!! And we have no plans of changing our lifestyle in the future.
Having never owned an RV prior, I feel Lorraine and I are living examples that, once you set your mind to it, anyone can become FULL TIMERS and I do mean anyone.
Lorraine just had a physical and passed with flying colors and thanks to the VA I have good health through medications. So as long as our health holds out so will our RVing lifestyle.
One last thing and a very important one at that, This 4 year adventure was made even better by our very close family and friends of the Montana Owners Club. It was the MOC family and the many MOC friendships we have made, the huge knowledge base that this forum provides, and all the MOC rallies we have attended that made the past 4 years even better. So THANK YOU MOC!!
IT JUST DOESN'T GET
ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!!!
