Greetings, after being pushed in retirement by my employer at 63, My wife and I and our dog Sandy are enjoying the anticipation of travel in our recently purchased RV. It is a previously loved 2003 Rexhall Rexair 3550 BSL. We traveled from Ohio to Southern Arizona in our PT Cruiser ( all three of us. Sandy goes where we go.) We picked up the RV and a dolly, and traveled back visiting friends and relatives along the way.
I know almost nothing about RVing, and have joined this forum for an education.

Hi from Minnesota and a BIG WELCOME to the iRV2 gang. Nice to have ya aboard.

Ya might find your "employer" may have done ya a BIG favor. My wife and I retired in 05, sold the house and stuff, and have been on the road full time ever since. It's been a hoot. Give it some thought. Ya might like it.

Hope to meet ya down the road sometime, and, again, WELCOME!!

Steve & Lynette

Hi there Bobb.25 and Sandy too. Welcome also to IRV2. As a Rexhall fan may I invite you to check out the Rexhall RV Club. Ask Janice about a complementary Family Motor Coach (FMCA) membership. Happy Trails!!

If you take the time to read you will most definitely get an education.
