Full timer, kind of.............

Hello Everyone......

New to the forums, been RVing for about 25 years, kind of. We live in Minnesota in the summer on a 40 ft long Harris houseboat up in Voyageurs National Park. The winters are spent in Mississippi on the gulf coast in the Winnebago Adventurer 38G. Sort of a full timer in an unconventional manner, if you consider the houseboat an RV. Retired educator, spending 35 years in the profession.

I look forward to participating on the forums,
Joe

I work camp at a small (43 sites) near Bay Saint Louis, MS.... Bay Hide Away RV park and campground. Come down and see us, we were voted by Woodall members as the most popular campgrounds in North America.
