Hi everyone,

I wanted to stop by and say hello. I am looking forward to learning and contributing where I can. My wife and I are possibly looking at selling everything and downsizing to an RV for a full time lifestyle. Life is much too short to see only one avenue of living.

So much to learn and a scary proposition to say the least! We have been plagued with health issues for the last several years and at our younger age it scares us. Cancer several times and failed back surgeries have really brought home what's important.

As I say, I look forward to learning and helping when the time comes.

Cheers!
Glen

Late wife and I (well at least I) were looking forward to going full time. I think she wanted her flowers more than seeing the country. Now I'm downsizing, should have set up a couple tables in the driveway and hang a garage sale sign! but I'm in the middle of installing WiFi and cell phone boosters in the MH.

Late wife had liver cancer, had three chemo-embolization's and then got a liver transplant. Liver was perfect but it gave her Granf vs Host Disease and that destroyed her bone marrow.

So now I'm in the process of cleaning up, paring down and will be selling the house, hopefully next year.

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone!

I've had one of my kidneys removed for cancer and then a year later a brain tumor has put me on a two year roller coaster of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Yuck. Six more months and they say I'll be done. My wife has had a failed back surgery that has left her debilitated and in pain 24/7 for the last two years. Sob story over, we're hoping for a new beginning in this RV lifestyle and that it may be an answer to prayers.

Mr_D, my prayers to you and yours. A difficult chapter indeed. Looking hard at a Monaco Signature, so your wealth of knowledge is a wonderful resource.

Cheers!
