I'm from north Florida

My husband and I will retire this coming summer. Once I get my retirement fund, we'll be purchasing a used Class C and hit the road full time. Will be selling everything, including our house (scary but ready to do it). We have tent camped for several years, mostly in N. Georgia and western North Carolina. Only camp in Florida in cold weather because of the bugs and critters. We are both born and raised here and have come to be really tired of our hot, muggy, bug-y. We will be travelling with our 2 very "mature dogs".

We retired 5 years ago and have wintered in your State of Florida since. We love it when we can turn on the TV news like today and see everyone in the northern States freezing their butts off!
P.S. I would skip the C class and go right to a gasoline powered A class. Wish I had listened because it is a costly mistake!

Welcome to the Fulltime Life from another Tallahassee Fulltimer
We sold everything and hit the road two years ago, loving every minute.

Good luck! And by the way I'm with Stano on going with the A. Been thru the other route and wished I had started with the Class A, with a least one slide.
