I hate intros, but you deserve to know what I've gotten into...
That said, I'm really not grumpy, just a touch sarcastic. I recently purchased a 2017 Thor Four Winds Class C. I'm retired Air Force, and coming close to retiring from my second career of Cybersecurity. I love camping but the wife, not so much. We got this to basically get from point A to point B without worrng about packing a suitcase and where to sleep.
I'm an adult leader of the local boy Scout troop (2 sons,--both made Eagle) so am comfortable in the woods.
I'm a former fighter Jet mechanic, so I'm not afraid of a screwdriver or wrench.
I picked up this RV just in time to winterize it before Thanksgiving 2018.
Hoping for an early spring to get out there!

Thinking I see a 10-15 year old DP in your future - After the class C the DW in a Class A might just LOVE Rv'ing.
Sure makes going from A to B easy and Fun.
Welcome, and Good Luck,

vt800c,
Congratulations on your ownership! My husband is also a vet... Army. Our son did a short time in the Navy. We appreciate and thank you for your dedication and service to our country. As a government employee and a civilian. You now deserve to enjoy what you have worked for. It sounds like a very nice Coach. We are still looking for our first but we have come across this model. Very nice features and amenities you have. We have decided to stick with a Class A and will hunt until we find the perfect one.
God Bless and safe travels with your new coach!
