Hello from New Jersey

Greetings,
My name is Joe and my wife is Joanne. I'm 66, just retire and purchased my first RV. I'll be taking possession of a 2005 Adventurer, 38J and I have to admit I am scared to death. I'm a bit concerned that at my age buying my first RV may be too much for this old dog to learn. But st the same time I am very excited about starting this new chapter in my life. It's been 15 years since our last vacation so it's time to catch up and see this beautiful country and hopefully make new friends along the way. I'll try not to be to much of a pain with a million questions.

Regards,
Joe

Congrats on your new to you RV

Good for you getting out on your retirement adventures. You have joined a friendly helpful group. We love to help in any way we can and will answer questions and give advice when asked. Remember when in a campground just ask you camping neighbors and they will most likely help. We all were new to rving at one time.
