First RV

We are new to RVing although we've considered getting started for a long time. This August we purchased our '99 Southwind 34N, and we've been out for weekend trips 3 or 4 times already before winterizing. Next year we plan to do some more serious traveling. Ford V10, gasoline, 56K miles, one slide, fairly conventional interior layout...

We like the queen size bed, and the separate lavatory/shower arrangement. And, with the exterior color scheme, we are finding we won't easily lose our MH in the campgrounds! Here are a few photos. See you on the road!

Nice looking coach.

Now you need to jump in it and head south instead of winterizing it.
