New to RV life
Hi from Ashland, VA. At the age of 66 and with no prior RV background, we took a leap of faith and purchased a Forest River Sanibel as our new full time residence. #whatwerewethinking?

Gutsy move. 
Most of us have started small and worked up. You went straight for the big-time! Lots of TT/5ver/Motorhomes out there for sale after the newbies took one trip and didn't like RV'ing.
Hopefully, you're not one of them. We're here to help if you have questions.

Not sure Gutsy is the correct word. After 41 years of marriage we're no Sissies.😃 Every day has a new lesson. Our attitude is, it's got to get easier! The hubby chose the rig. I'm the "CFO" but he has veto power. Happy Travels!
