Sleep much better now and will be even better when we hit the road. We don't have all the amenities in ours but we will have what we need. No debt was the first requirement. Unemcumnered money in the bank was second. Try it, you'll like it. Or maybe not. You can always run up more debt.
Well we made it to retirement (Oct 14) and full time (Nov 3, 2014). And the journey and mutatiin continues!

One of my RVing buddies abandoned the Island and now lives over by you. He plunked himself down in Sardis off of Promontory Drive.
One of the motorhomes in the attached is his.

Nice guy and we miss him and his wife.

Too many too far to the left to be able to try to get along. The forest economy die and every attempt at new job creation is thwarted by the dimwits of the environmental movement. Denise and I are selling out too very shortly.

We were going to come down there this year but had to have my last Cataract done in late Jan. That and the low dollar as well.
This year we are planning an across Canada tour, and maybe Arizona in the winter.
Nothing but time on our hands now!

I hear ya about the dimwits, I am not allowed to watch the news anymore!
We were going to come over there with the coach for a tour but would need a bank loan for the ferry.
I am getting pretty good at whining like an old retiree, don't ya think,

What troubles me is that my current MH has lots of toys, FAR more than my previous rigs, but...BUT I do not have:

Heat pump
TPMS 4 slides (only 2)
Electric basement door locks
Keyless entry
ScanGuage (et al)
Residential refer
Solar panels
LED lights
Satelite dish
Clear coat
Diamond Shield
Bra
Toad guard
Full width Mud flap
Spare tire
Engine performance chip
Motion sensor lights
Window awnings
Mini-fridge
Freezer
Washer/dryer
Ice maker
Dishwasher
Extra bath
Extend-a-stay
Outdoor recliners
Exhaust brake
Bike rack
A BIRD? (no clue)
Rope lights
2 way radio
Extended Warranty

Why do I not miss this stuff, and why am I happy without them?
Why this is downright unAmerican! You must strive for more and bigger. Now get out there and make Camping World great again!
