Full timers just upgraded

My wife and I just upgraded from a 2006 max-lite 23RS to a 2017 Palomino Puma 30RKSS. We share it with our 8 year old Great Dane and our 10 year old Junglebob. We live in central Iowa, the wife still works and I am retired, will turn 40 in June. In a few more years she will retire too and we will be more mobile. Right now we winger at a private campground that caters to winter campers. When the state parks open, we start moving around between the 8-10 parks within 20 minutes of where she works. We have to move every two weeks but enjoy the change of scenery. I joined to get ideas and advice on making some changes to the camper.

I am going to congratulate you on being 40 and retired first.

A new trailer adds to my jealousy...

Mostly though, Welcome from St Louis

Cool. We actually spent the last two weeks at McBride, packing out today. Will be down at the Coralville Dam Complex for the next two weeks.

Heading out Friday night to Lake McBride. I would love to sit by a fire and hear about your early retirement. I am trying to retire when I am 50, currently 38. I found mrmoneymustache .com kinda late but we have been hitting our debt pretty hard to try and reach our goal.
