Not only do I have cabin fever, I also suffer from CWS (Camping Withdrawal Syndrome). Thankfully this forum has been my support group .

It's usually this time of the year that I get into trouble on the forum. It was 3 years ago about this time, that the Phat Phrog Stunt Team was created. Turbs and I (along with a few others, ) still have a group text going, started around the same time. Have had many a good time with these peeps, with more to follow!

I cured cabin fever last winter when retirement was an option. Left for the southwest looking for warm weather in my Wildcat from U.P. of Michigan and found Arizona. We found a nice CG/resort and loved so much we bought a park model here to stay the winters. We now use the Wildcat to travel back and forth to Mich. & Az. and local camping when we get there. That is the dream of retirement.

I got a new F350 dually beginning of January. Can't wait to tow with it, so that makes waiting for spring even worse. A little excited I get to take 5th wheel for inspection in early March Hoping Easter weekend, which is 6 weeks away for those of you not counting, is our first trip out.

Well least ways im not the only one with the problem

Are you kidding me? Cabin fever is now Cabin Sepsis. Bought a new 36CKTS and a new to us truck. I can't stay off of campground websites trying to decide where to stay. Took the 5th wheel out for a test tow this afternoon, it's definitely a new experience. Probably going to have to take a few more test tows with it to get the backing up down. Plus I learned that I'm sure I wont be breaking any land speed records LOL. Come on spring break!

I have to say I am going crazy also. I retired early 4 rears ago take care of the grand children then my son moves away this year and takes my buddy and biddite with him. Reminds me of Harry Chapin's "Cats in the Cradle". Then a new knee this winter. All I do now is exercise. Up to 12 miles a day on stationary bike as well as all the stretching. I have been released from Physical Therapy which actually makes things worse as now there is no where to go. Things are so bad in the north east now we are stuck. Wife says she will not venture out.

I have a stack of new projects waiting to be installed on the coach. I might go broke if this keeps up.

We too have been planning a couple of trips. One to Southeastern Georgia to see my wife's sister and husband and one to see friends in Michigan. Beyond that, because of jobs we will camp for a couple of weeks near home and my wife will drive to work while I work from the Motorhome I've also upgraded to LED lights inside and am preparing to upgrade the outside lights this Spring. I've also bought ALLOT of stuff on Amazon and other places and go out to the property where we have it in storage to start it, run the generator and just dream about a campfire!!!!!
