PDX greetings

Just joined. We are selling our house and will be buying a 5th wheel to live in full time for awhile. Family of 5, kids aged 9-16. Plus a cat, small dog, and a rabbit. I'm leaning towards a 40' toy hauler. Looking forward to learning.

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In regard to the size of your 5th wheel, go as large as you can afford. Especially with that large of a family. Full timing RVs tend to shrink over time!!!

Welcome!

We had some great times camping with the four children. They sure learned how to stay organized. Have fun and stay warm.

Greetings from Salem !

Good luck on the 5er search.... get as large a coach as you can.... RV's seem to shrink in size as time goes along....

Happy trails
