NEW SOLO RV'ERS CHECK IN HERE!!

[AZHarrison]

Hi, I don't have my RV yet, but I will have one by September. I will be soloing... no pets, just me. I lived full time with my GF 20yrs ago, we did it for 5 years and I loved it. Looking forward to getting back on the road.

I know this. That's why I was calling it a cheap version of the arctic fox by Northwood heh.. Was just wondering if anyone had one, and if so has the person that does have any issues?

Hi all, this is Baltz. I am a widower and will solo RV with my two dogs after my lease is up here in Dayton at the end of October 2020 (I am living with a roommate currently). My plan is to head for the Mesa, AZ area November through April to escape winter. What comes after, I don't really know!
Does anybody have any recommendations on where to stay? Looking forward to exchange more thoughts!

Hey everyone
My name is Paul and I retired last winter. I'm on the road work camping this summer in West Yellowstone with my two doxies. I currently have a job lined up for the first part of fall in Idaho. After that I don't know what I will be doing.

I see a few new posts by new Solo RVers to which no one has responded. I’d like to say welcome. Those of you with plans are a step ahead of me. When I wake in the morning, I seldom know where that day will be going. My RV is in the shop right now getting some needed warranty issues addressed. I hope to have it back next weekend so I can go camping. My girlfriend from Florida is visiting me here in the PNW and I’d love to show her the sights as well as meet some of the family.

Welcome to all the new members! Paul, what do you do with your dogs while you are working? I have been thinking about that if I do travel with my dog.I am wondering for my own future possibilities.

I currently work from 9am-6pm and I get to come back to my RV for an hour for lunch so I just go out with them just before I head to work inn the morning and again at lunch then again when I get back home for the evening.

My job in Idaho in the fall is a 14 hour a day job 6 days a week so I'll hire a dog walker.

Guess I should check in after a winter in Florida playing snowbird. Four months living in my 93 Pace Arrow, surprised me how good it was. With a trailer and hitch beefed up to 10k I towed a Camry down and back with little problems but am 62ft. The Pace is 36, no slides, was enough space for me.

hello gang. I've been gathering new and always useful information here on the site and figured i'd introduce myself in the newbies forum. maybe garner some more invaluable info. My name is Calvin and after being in the O&G industry for what seems like forever and spending so much on hotels that i could have retired years ago, i finally made the jump to a used 5.0 and haven't looked back since. I've been from Texas up to Wyoming, Idaho to Arizona, New Mexico to Idaho and all parts in between. I have met some of the nicest people I could ever imagined in some of the most remote camps. Fact is i've spent so much time in the 5.0 that i decided to upgrade to a larger unit. not because its too small, but have you ever sat in the Texas Piney woods in August? 100 deg & 100% humidity will drive an armadillo in front of a fan. Anyhow, just got back from boondocking in Gunnison Co state park for 2 weeks and will be headed back to Flagstaff KOA soon if anybody wants to meet up for a cold one and to talk shop. I'd love listening to informative rv'ing stories.
Cheers and safe travels

Iffn' you see that mean ole buzzard @FatChance down there, tell him Hi from Craig in Denver. His Mrs. FatWife (she isn't) is nice tho. They're somewhere very close to you.

I'm solo too, so I can post here.

Hey all,
Bought my first RV... 42 Tuscany. What a jump and learning curve, but full timing and solo'ing it in NC. I have made many posts trying to get help on new things to me and everyone has been very helpful. Did I say that learning curve was steep!

Greetings! New solo traveler after losing my copilot of 42 years to Alzheimers. We traveled for years in a truck camper until that got to be too much. I just purchased a 22' BornFree Built4Two. Not sure where this all will lead but am looking forward to hitting the road. I retired from law enforcement after 30 years and am SO GLAD to be retired! My current copilot is an 8yr old German Shepard Izzy. She has decided the front seat is where she belongs!

Hi fellow solos,
I've yet to find the right RV, but in the process of researching. I'm mostly retired since covid is making it tough to be a massage therapist. Moved from Denver to rural NM 4 years ago to care for Mom, who is almost 96. So can't really leave yet. My bucket list includes making it to all national parks in the west and maybe some in the east. I hope to organize a small caravan of like minded folks. I'm interested in experiencing the parks with hikes, maybe some biking, and learning about the history and nature of the parks. Maybe it's too much for some, but just driving around isn't my focus. Anyway, happy to be here and read the posts.... kind of an armchair traveler right now.
