New member from chilly Iowa

Hello,

Carol and I are both retired and anxious to get back on the road. We've graduated from a Northern Lite 8.5 truck camper to a 2015 Thor Axis to a 2016 Thor ACE in a few days short of a year. We were fortunate to be able to travel for seven months and over 12K miles our last outing. We have commitments that are keeping us at home until after Christmas but plan to find the warmest spots possible after that.

I've enjoyed reading through the forums and learning from others. I'm sure situations and questions will arise that we can find assistance with from the members.

Dennis and Carol

We're jealous as we're stuck in the cold until spring break.

I am up in St Paul, Welcome to the site. We are leaving in January for Florida. There are two RV's in our party. We are going down for the first time and will be spending about 6 weeks. We just retired this year and have been traveling a good part of the summer. Good luck to you. I am on my 6th motorhome since 1990 and am still learning from all these nice people on this site. I read the new post every morning with my coffee.

Welcome from just up the road in chilly Minnesota. We solved the cold and snow problem by going full time in 2011, and now only go back in the summer. Enjoy.
