I'm 62 and still working. My wife, Lela, also works but won't let me tell how old she is. We have two grown children, one of each. We have two dogs, a Beagle and a Lhasa Poo. We live in Des Moines, IA. We actually bought our camper looking forward to retirement. That will be a few years, which gives us time to figure out what we're doing. Soccer is my favorite sport.

Boston: The history is moving. And it's neat to have a beer in the countries oldest pub. Chicago: I grew up in the NW suburbs of Chicago and have always loved the city.Yosemite:The most beautiful place I've seen. At least it was 35 years ago. Those are the favorite places I've been. The list will probably grow as we get to travel more.

About 20 years ago, we were in San Antonio TX and our minivan caught fire in the middle of a busy intersection. Great trip except for that.

Genealogy, flower gardening, carpentry, dogs, family,

Welcome to a wonderful way of life. I've been RV'ing for 33 years stgarted out with pop up trailer and it got into my blood. I purchsed my first motorhome in 1999 and now I'm into my forth rig. Hope you enjoy the RV life style as much as we do, you meet many woncerful people and very friendly people.

Again welcome aboard and be careful in cross winds

About backing up-remember that the trailer goes the opposite way you turn the steering wheel. The smaller the trailer the faster it turns,so take your time. As you back up and lose sight of the area you want to be,pull forward so you can see your target area in your mirrors.
A mall parking lot and a couple cones is a good
way to practice.
Also before you back into your campsite make sure there are no low branches or branches sticking out sideways that will scratch up your new baby.

Its like anything else the more you do it the better you get at it.
Hope this helps. good luck
