Hi everyone
We did some RVing about 12 years ago and are planning to retire soon and get another RV. I am sure some things have changed so joining the forum to get back up to speed. So thankful for this forum.

After such a length of time... Yes a few things have changed and Your RV'n style might change as well .........(weekender vs part time vs Full time)

Just keep in mind that Your RV...
Your 1st coach is a learning tool..
BUY USED! & buy one with everything you "think" you want and will need..
As You will make mistakes and have booboo's We all have.....(sometimes more than twice..)
Within a year or two you will discover..about the RV

What you love about the RV...
What you can kinda-sorta tolerate with the RV..
And what you absolutely hate about that !@#$%^%$#@! RV.
Then you can go get what you should have gotten in the first place..
Happy Hunting

Remember..Every day you put off retiring..is just one less Day of being retired

So much has changed in just the last few years. All the new electronics, new construction techniques, even the power train.
