Hi all,

My wife and I are recently retired, on the bad side of 65, and considering checking out the RV lifestyle-- that makes us complete outliers in this forum, right?

In fact, we've booked our first rental in mid-October on Outdoorsy-- a 25' Winnebago Fuse that we're planning to drive over to Vermont for 4 or 5 days. If we're still married after that, my vision is to buy a used Sprinter or Transit Clas B MH and spend a chunk of winter exploring the Southwest.

So at this point, I'm trying to do a bit of due diligence and research so I know what I'm getting into. I promise to ask a large number of stupid questions... so brace yourselves!

Sounds like a good plan and there is a very high level of tolerance for otherwise stupid questions as most of us have done stupid things (and the rest just didn’t recognize it

) and been stumped by simple issues from time to time

. So go forth and conquer and ask away.

Cheers

Fellow Maniac here! First 38 years near Augusta, working the last ten years at the nuclear power plant an hour up US Route 1 from you until it closed down in 2000, and have spent the last 20 years in southwest Michigan at another nuclear power plant. Retirement in five years (age 63), I hope.

29 foot motor home on wife's insistence. You sound like you won't have as much issue for winter storage if you are doing southerly winter exploring!
