Howdee from the big city of Belmont NC. Born here and hope to be planted here also. Me and Helen(MOW) both graduated from Belmont and have been here our whole lives. I got my first RV when I was 19 and have had them all. Being a moochanic I have worked on about any thing that flies floats or rides down the highway. When MOW and I got together sixteen years ago (we dated in HS) she had never seen Niagara Falls so I bought a Tiffin and took her to see the Falls. She had been camping in tents and never in a motor home. Now she helps me get it hooked up and torn down with the best of them. Now if I could just get her to drive the thing. We currently own two Newmars Dutch Stars, [moderator edit] our newer one with a bigger refrigerator(long story)a 2003 4001 model. When mama says she wants something you just go with the flow. In 2015 after she had her last chemo for breast cancer on Wednesday we left on Friday and took I-40/66 across the country. Had a ball and seen all the sites especially the Grand Canyon. We tow a JKU flat and we took it and drove all around the Canyon just for the heck of it. Four Corners, Vegas, LA, Disney Land,Houston, New Orleans(Halloween) and then the Gulf before we headed home to vote. My friends all ask what was the best thing we seen, looking out the windshield and seeing the USA. So if you see a Dutch Star with a fellow who looks like Santa Claus and a Mean Ole Woman by his side pulling a green JKU Jeep hit the air horn and say HI.
