In 1995 when I reached my 57th year, I wanted to buy an RV sooooo bad! I believed then, that buying an RV was not something that my budget could afford. So all I did about that yearning, was to subscribe to Motor Home Magazine.
CANCER
In 2001 I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma, cancer of the lymph glands. I figured that I was a dead man. However, I lucked onto a terrific oncologist, and he saved my life.
I received chemo-therapy. After six months of that, radiology. By July, 2002, my doctors just let me recover. No treatment from now on.
On February 25, 2003, my oncologist doctor informed that I was "in remission".
[COLOR=]AN RV ENTERS MY LIFE
I left his office and drove directly to Manteca Trailer in the Town of Manteca, California. I got a 1991 Fleetwood Tioga, 27 feet long.
After cancer, I did not even consider if I could afford the Tioga. I figured then, that I could do anything that I set my mind to do!
TI0GA AND I GET MESSED UP
Fast forward to 2014. My TiogaRV and I got into a terrible accident. Tioga was destroyed. I had serous heart problems. After that, I lived in a senior apartment for two years. No thought of RVing again even entered my mind.
FATE STEPS INTO MY DESTINY
Making a long-story short, I now own two RVs. A 29 foot Apex Coachmen Trailer. And a Scamp 13 foot Trailer. The Apex is my Home Base. The
Scamp [Scampy] is my camping trailer.
Tomorrow I shall reach my 79th birthday. I believed that I was too old to ever RV again. But here I am fulltiming again.
I am posting this topic to you from Mission Beach in San Diego. Scampy is here with me. We are Day Camped here. Close to the water.
