Thanks for the kind words and warm welcomes. This is my current setup -- Maybe my little kiddy truck will grow up someday.

Jim, I've been reading your posts for awhile now, and I hardly think I'm ahead of you. The wife and I have enjoying the RVing Lifestyle for awhile now, but full timing is a whole other style. Not to mention that you have like 5+ years on my in your career. Reading your posts is what actually prompted me into posted here. Especially the post about you walking into the RV Dealer and them asking you what tow vehicle you have. I know I'm in the service as well, but I applaud the sacrifice you've made to your country and hope your later years are more enjoyable as your younger years.

Hello Folks, I've been lurking here for quite sometime now, and I thought I would finally introduce myself. I'm less then two years from my military retirement, and the wife is already military retired, and is going to school full time to become a nurse. In the short term we still have 1 more daughter that's a few years from graduating, and 1 daughter that graduates in June. The wife and I plan on full timing for several years so HDT is the way to go. The wife plans on doing the "traveling Nurse" thing in the future, and I think I'll do the working camping thing. My 5th wheel is only 14,000 lbs, but it makes sense to never buy another 1 ton and go with the Class 8. I seem to be searching everyday for the right truck, but common sense has me waiting for a bit until the time gets closer. I've been tempted several times to just pull the trigger, but with only the normal vacations for the next few years I know I'll need to wait just a bit. I know it sounds strange, but I feel like I know all of you very well, and the wife is getting to know each of you when I mention your stories. I look forward to the day when I can say I finally pull the trigger, and I can finally meet up with some of you. In the mean time I've been adding the extras to my current truck that can be transferred to the HDT in the future -- I.E. -- Backup camera, Pressure Pro Tire Monitor, Looking for a diesel generator, & Air ride Hitch. Also been keeping my eyes open for that elusive Volvo 730 that seems to be in my future. Ya'll take care and I'll keep lurking until I find something that I might know something about more then the experts.....
