We were out of it for about 8 years, as we bought a cabin in upstate NY in '06, but we didn't sell the Class C. I tried to keep up with it, but sitting for so long was obviously not good and costly to get back on the road. We got the bug again when I heard my married son was looking for a small TT because he wanted to do with his family in the future everything we did while he was growing up. We both had diesel pickups, so it was a no brainer to get a TT that we could both use, so we traded in the Class C. My younger son is in college, so get-a-ways have been just the wife and I, and we have a great time dragging the house around. Never was a big fan of lugging suitcases into hotels. And of course, I don't miss the times you finally take your shoes off and lay down on the bed, and get asked to go get something that we forgot in the truck. With the RV, everything is always with you. Enjoy, there is a lot to explore! Safe travels!
