My husband has moderate/severe dementia and I am THE caregiver. I gave up FL last winter because of the driving pain..but I won't give up my RV even if it's just in the driveway!! Lol....I may be disabled and 74 yrs old, he is almost 83,but I have rved for 28 yrs.and owned 20 campers. You know what they say.."You can take the old gal out of the woods,but you can't take the woods out of her!!" Wish me luck,people,and I hope to see you down the road! Janalee
