So ... Driving home from the RV Show

We have had quite a last 15 months ... deciding to start camping 15 months ago we bought a truck and 5th wheel, what we should have done was join a camping forum ... fast forward to today we have bought 2 trucks and 2 RV's and as of last week we have now bought a 3rd RV we will pick up next Thursday ... that said we have absolutely no regrets only wish our learning curve was a little quicker ... We got the current truck knowing it would allow us to upgrade to the camper we wanted based on what we finally learned ... again no regrets or looking back .... I guess the idea of buy your 3rd RV first has come true .... I plan to stay here and contribute and keep learning ... there are many members to thank and your help is always appreciated .... I will have many more comments I am sure .... I would like to say our 2 Rockwood's have been excellent ... thanks Frank

He updated his signature block to reflect. I already found him on the other forum and noted he's coming to the dark side.

Not exactly. You don't actually buy the other two.

Too bad he’s gone to the other side......his purchases were really good for Forest River stocks.

I’m sure the automotive sector appreciates his business too.

Can't see signatures on the app.
Have to go looking for it.

I can see his signature in his profile, using the green app.

That’s why I don’t subscribe to “there’s an app for that”.

I should have been more clear.... Yes, in the profile but not in each post like when on a computer. That's why I said, you have to go look for it.

So when someone posts "it's in my signature," you have to back out of the post and go to their profile and then back to the post when using the app.

Picker, not sure what you mean by "back out". On my app, I simply tap on the member's green name, in the post, and the profile comes up.
Is your app for iPhone? I have the Android app. Maybe they differ.

I thought we were bad with 2 trucks in 3 years and 2 RVs in 2 years.

Congrats!

Funny, we came from Orlando to Tampa to buy and you're going from SW Florida to north of Orlando. If I may suggest, I would avoid I4 through Orlando if you can. Either take 417 or 429 around. Construction in Orlando is brutal. I live it daily and would rather pay the tolls than deal with it.

Congratulations. After a Road Ranger and then two Cardinals, we went to Grand Design, too. I'm guessing you are on the Grand Design Forum now with some others of us?
