Hi,

I have been looking at this forum for some time but have never jumped in.

We have been camping for over 30 years now. We started with just a conversion van. When we started a family, we upgraded to a pop-up, then to a 31' travel trailer, and then to a 31' Class 'C'. We are now looking into a Winnebago Class 'A' diesel pusher.

We were both born and raised in Southeast Wisconsin and moved to the Tampa Florida area in 1994. I still have a few years before retirement, but enjoy taking weekends and vacations to do some traveling. We might go north over the Christmas break to try to catch some snow.

Thanks to all of the people who run this site and put in all of the work to make it a very successful site.

wlf00... We are glad you have decided to finally stop lurking around and join in the fun!! I think you are the oldest registered lurker here... over three years is a long time! (I promise you that I will be gentle with you the first dozen posts...if you do them within a few months. )

You will find everyone here more than willing to give you their opinions on whatever rigs you decide to compare before choosing your next RV ...so feel free to post questions and ask for opinions frequently!

Again..welcome out of the "stealth mode" Please visit & post often!!

Bill & Elaine: WELCOME to the iRV2 forum bunch. You'll find it pretty helpful and there's a great bunch of folks here. OH, we're headed your way soon as we usually winter at Bay Bayou over in Oldsmar near you guys. Our son is soon returning home to Tampa from a whole year in Iraq (Air Force EOD and 4th tour over in that area). Needless to say we've been pretty concerned this last year and look forward to having him home for Christmas. Anyway, again, WELCOME. Swing over and say Hi at site 166 Bay Bayou sometime. Bye for now. Steve & Lynette

Bill & Elaine;

I also would like to welcome you to IRV2. I think it is great that you decided to start actively start posting.

Winnebago makes some excellent diesel coaches and I hope you will drop down to the Winnebago Forum and ask any questions you may have on Winnebago products. We have a wealth of info there.

Don
