Full timing for the first time.

My name is Angela and I have been living in my Fleetwood Southwind for just over a year. I like the quiet lifestyle and less area to keep clean. I learn more and more everyday. My parents passed away a few years ago and I inherited the motor home. I'm a little younger than your average full timer but I plan on my little house on wheels being my home indefinitely. Any tips, advice, or resources you could throw my way would be greatly appreciated.

You found the right forum. The folks here on iRV2 are incredible with their insights.
You did not mention the brand of MH you have but likely, you will find it in the Owners Forums. This allows you to converse with folks that have your brand and even your model of MH. It's the right place to ask question when you have problems. Even ones you did not know you had!LOL.
Good luck and happy motoring!
We are learning too in our quest to full time.
Tom
