We started our Full timeing 2 weeks ago

We love being a full timer now, but we did have a big misshap with our tow car. The pin that attaches to the front bar sheered off and went went through the car grill ripped the bumper off. Scary!!!! So, we stayed in Brookings, Or until our car was done.

Thank god we has Good Sam they paid for it getting fixed and bought us a brand new tow bar.

Yikes, that's a scary way to start you FT adventure!

Glad to hear you are okay, sounds like it could have been a lot worse.

Is this your first toad experience?
If so it should only get better from here.

Congratulations on your new full time status!

Welcome to the forum and congrats of going FT. Sounds like you've gotten off to a bit of a rocky start but I'm sure things will get better from here.

We will be celebrating our 6th anniversary fulltiming next month - doesn't seem possible that 6 years have gone by. Only regret is that we couldn't go sooner.
