Hi all, I bought an 80's 18 foot travel trailer, a Bendix Citation. I can't find much info on it. It's getting some work done...front corner has come apart and needs fixed, and the electrical nee...

I am going to go against the grain as well and suggest you strike out on your own. I am a 65 yr. old single female. I bought a 19 ft. travel trailer last year. My only experience with a travel trailer was when I traveled with a friend for a week. I never participated in hooking up or driving while pulling the trailer.
I have had to learn everything. Just stay calm and take your time. An excellent book is the Idiot's Guide to RVing third edition. It covers everything.
As far as these single groups, I would recommend you stay away. You will meet plenty of solo travelers in the RV parks. I felt the same way as you when I first started out. I thought it would be nice to join a group in a club. WRONG !!!
My experience with a group was terrible. Sorry, but the Loners on Wheels group that I met up with was an awful experience. All they do is camp at the park and stay there. They play cards and have potluck dinners and GOSSIP about each other. I breathed a sigh of relief when I left. I also hope you don't mind them telling you where they want you to park and don't expect to have any privacy like having a nice quiet breakfast and a cup of coffee alone in your trailer. If you do, you will be the target of their next gossip session for being unfriendly.
Like I said earlier, you will meet a lot of wonderful people at the RV parks but pick and choose your own friends.
