Hello from Ranger Bob, Ranger Eli, and Nurse Sue

Sue and I finally retired after 35 years each in the military and Dept of Army. Never had one toy in our lives and finally bought a new RV. We recently were adopted by a loving stray that has amazing physical abilities (translation is he climbs the walls and I cant get any sleep-ha). We named him Eli as a gift from the heavens and Ranger for his persistance and strength. Hence , Ranger Eli. We have never RV'd before but we are all about to get on the Road and meet the wonderful people in the RV world.
I have never been one to be intimidated but the thought of driving the RV really unnerves me. Sue, Eli, and I really enjoy reading the postings on IRV2 and have learned much. Best to you all. Bob

Welcome, Bob and Sue..retired Air Force here living in the boonies of Autaugaville AL. Haven't been on iRV2 long, but have enjoyed it.. As the old sayin' goes "the only dumb question is the one you don't ask". Hope you enjoy retirement as much as Nancy and I have..
