Anyone have an RV?

Marilyn · 03-06-2007, 05:51 PM

We, or actually, I about 2 weeks ago bought a 36 ft 5th wheel RV on E-Bay. We are planning for one of our daughters to live in it at college for a couple of years, and then use it to travel. Hubby is rigging up a truck he bought so we can pull it. We have never had an RV and actually know very little about them. We had a transport company bring it to us from South Carolina. As soon as we get the truck ready to pull it, we plan to take it to a local RV dealer who will throughly check it out for us and show us all the features and how to use everything. It has three slides, and we extended them. There is a lot of room inside. It even has a washer and dryer. Not a bad place to live for a little while at all. I would have loved living in one of these when I was in college.

Anyone on here into RVing?

Never had one, but it sounds fun!

Never had an RV, but would like to have one when we retire.

I've camped ever since my younger brother and I were small enough to sleep on one army cot. We started out with a 9x9 tent and then moved up to a bigger tent and then a small camper. After Dad passed away, Mom got a little bit bigger camper that she still uses today.

We haven't camped in a long, long time. We had a pop-up tent camper for awhile. Oh the boys camp with Scouts, but that's it.

Hopefully we'll have enough to buy one so when retirement comes, we can take off for some sightseeing with the furbabies.

You're not thick. We speak the same language, almost. There are a few differences in how we refer to some things. I've attached a pic of the RV. It's in really good condition, and we paid a really low price for it on E-Bay.

We are the new owners of an RV. We have had it about a month. We have always camped and ran the path of tent, camper, tenttrailer, then Hilton! We wanted to start traveling and getting ready for retirement, so we bought a 5th wheel. It is only 24 and 1/2 ft, but measures out to 27 total. Yes, they are very roomy. We have only one slide. We took it out last weekend for the first time and just loved it. We are getting aquainted with all the new things that come with having a potty and shower. We were very well suprised at how easy everything was to operate. I have made reservations for once a month to go to places with hook-ups and then we plan to do some boon-docking and just see the USA. We are taking all the kids and grands with us on Memorial Day. Looking forward to having the family all together back with nature? I did get 2 sites and we will be buying a tent for all the boys to sleep in. My son and DIL just found out she is expecting their fourth baby. She said she is sleeping in the trailer on a bed! We don't have a problem with that. We have plenty of room. I wanted the RV so I could travel and take my dogs with me. We have family in Arizona and Utah and now we can go take the pups and have our own bed to sleep in. I am excited about using it more this summer.
