Hi,

We just got a motorhome after years of travel trailers. I just won't drive the TT--with the van it's 52 ft long and just a tad scary for me. So we opted for a MoHo.
We both still work--I am an acupuncturist and my husband is a Canine Physical Therapist so our lives are busy with patients but since we are both self-employed we can take LONG weekend trips. We love dry camping in the forest with our dogs and also going to dog shows.
We look forward to getting to know all of you and learning all we can about our Motorhome.

Welcome to the site. Sounds like you are already set to "go-on-the-road" if you choose. With your type experience, you could travel rally-to-rally and spend a few days working the kinks out of old drivers and their pets and live the dream.

Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome! Ron, as much as I would LOVE to do that we need an underwater treadmill and pool for the dogs--doesn't hurt drivers backs to use them either

Also it's a little hard to be on the road with the 5 mastiffs we currently have!

Welcome from us too! We travel with 4 dogs (but they are nowhere near as big as your Mastiffs!!). This is a very helpful group. Happy traveling!
