Move your chair over a bit please....

Well, I guess I will be putting my chair around the campfire once again.:D We sold our old unit several years ago due to health and other issues and wondered if we would ever get back into the campground again. We have been talking about renewing the RV experience a lot about the last six months or so and today we pulled the trigger.

We knew we wanted a smaller trailer than the old 24 footer we had and several days ago I was passing a small used car/RV lot and spied a used 19 foot Hi-Lo, a 19T Towlite. I brought the wife back to look it over and for a 2008 model, it was exceptional. The cooktop had never been used and it looked like the bathroom had never been touched either. The previous owner had put all the manuals and owners papers in a three ring binder and all systems checked out in working order. :C Waiting on money to get transferred from one institution to another, and I will pull it home the first of next week. I knew we would one day re-join the group, I never took the brake controller out of my truck, it has just been hanging there waiting to be used.

I told my wife I will get it home and clean it up and winterize it so it will be ready next spring and she said "do you have to winterize already?" She was more ready to go than I thought she was...:W

    Thanks everyone for the welcome back!!! I figured out a long time ago that you either LOVE RVing or you don't, and we have always enjoyed the lifestyle from tent to pop-up to travel trailer. We used to go a lot, when work would let us, then **** happens, you deal with it and go on. We are both retired now but health limits us to shorter closer to home trips so we will take what we can get, and thank God we are still able to do that. We will be enjoying some old haunts, and seeing what all Arkansas has to offer, which is a lot!!!! The coffee pot is always on, or a Diet Coke in the cooler, so stop by sometimes..........


    Welcome Back!

    My coffee pot will always be on for you!

    Just remember, it isn't always the length or distance of the trip, sometimes the shorter ones are the most pleasant, we all Camp/RV, how we do it varies, but as long as you enjoy doing it is all that matters.
    When I was working, we could only get away for 3 or 4 day weekends, but when I think of how much we enjoyed them, I realize that length of time doesn't really matter.
    Welcome back and happy travels.
