Just for fun "around the campfire"

We must have largest and most diverse group of Rvers here. We're all anonymous so how about a little survey? Just simple answers.
How long have you been RVing.
Your current rig type.
Still working or retired.
How many people and pets in the rig.
Weekends, weeks, months or full time.
FHU, state/national parks, boondocking.
Destination? CG or what's in the area around the CG?
If you could start over, what would you change?

I'll start.
Rving since 1998.
Class C with toad.
Retired.
Single/never married.
Months at a time.
FHUs.
People or places to visit near the CG.
I would have started with the C instead of a B.
  • RV'd 20 years ago with 3 kids (3 TT's - S, M then L) then quit. Started back in 2012 with a bigger TT.
    Current rig is a FW (see signature line)
    Retired twice, but still working, but VERY close to fully retiring - could happen any day now if things at work stay like they are today! :)
    Camp with DW and 2 rescue dogs.
    Mostly camp weekends, but try to do at least a full week each year.
    Mostly camp in a nearby state park on a lake with FHUs.
    The destination is usually the park with short exursions outside it.
    If I could start over I would start with a bigger RV. We went S, M then L.
  • Since 2003.
    1993 Dutchman Classic 5'er
    Still Working
    2 adults, 1 little person and 4 dogs
    Weekends with a few weeks thrown in.
    State parks and occasionally Disney
    The park is the destination.
    Kept the travel trailer so we could bring a golf cart.
  • RV, since 1988 with family
    Current unit 5th wheel
    Still working, like job too much to think about stopping now, have 5 weeks of vacation plus all holidays and weekends.
    Just the two of us mostly
    Used to go for 2-3 weeks per year with the occasional weekend.
    Will only go with FHU or water and electric, did the Nascar with gens and on board water, too much trouble, and not doing without electricity, need the a/c.
    Like staying near the ocean, since moving here we are here, so have not been out with the RV in the last year or so, but will start again soon.
    Wish I would have gotten the Super Duty diesel from the start.
  • Rving since 1985.
    Travel Trailer.
    I'm retired, wife has 5 more years to work.
    Two folks, two dogs.
    Weekends, mostly.
    FHUs or at least water and electric.
    What's to see in area. Fishing if available.
    Would have gotten a diesel truck to start with.
  • Rving since 1996
    Class C no toad
    Retired
    Married travel with DW, grandson and DWs Mom
    Weekends, weeks
    FHU's DW insists
    Places near/far from c'ground
    I would have started with a smaller C
