Is it possible to change the individual forums so that the older messages no longer show? I was looking through some of the “For Sale” forums. It’s confusing if you aren’t paying attention to the dates that many of the posts are a couple of years old. I know, just pay attention. It almost appears as if nobody is taking care of things.

I’ll be in that class of 2021 too! In two weeks I work my last work day, then go on leave. I come back on September 24th to sign out and I will be retired. I already have a couple of trips planned to finish up with some things, then a campout with a group of women, then a friend and I are out of here!

I applied for Alliant over the weekend. I got a message that something of my information didn’t match what they had and they’ll have to review it. Maybe it’s because I just moved into my RV.

Kirk, thank you so much! I’ve been busy moving and now working on getting things arranges and settled in the RV. Last week was my first week in the RV. It felt good. I’ve lived in them before, it’s just been a really long time ago. one question that I have about the Athens area is the climate: are there, on average, many tornadoes? Again, thank you for offering to send information. I’m really getting excited at the concept of traveling and taking my house with me. Shelley Kepford haulinit aka The Tiny McMansion

Linda, you’re right. I’m probably close enough now that I can go ahead and send the paperwork in. Luckily I have a friend who is a notary. He says whenever I’m ready to just let him know. By the time I get it sent in and it’s processed is going to take at least a week, maybe more. Then I’ll have that part done when I’m ready to do the rest. I’m just the type of person to not want to do anything to mess things up. Been there, done that. My UPS store mailbox is paid for six months, I had no other choice. Thanks again! That’s why forums like this are helpful! Now I get to work for the next three days then come home and continue to get ready for my garage sale on Friday and Saturday. Once that’s done I can really do some serious moving out. Stay tuned! Shelley

Thanks, Bill! The UPS store is only temporary. Once I close the sale of my house and get all of that settled, I’m going to sign up for the Escapees mail service and domicile in Texas. That decision took a lot of research and thought until I decided that Texas was right for me. Kirk W., I’m only in Oregon until I retire in September. I love the geography of the state, it’s other aspects of living here that I’m done with. I don’t want to talk about it because this isn’t the place for it. Oregon is a very beautiful state. You mentioned using both Campendium and Campground Reviews. I’m a contributor to both sites too! They are both really awesome. I just need to develop my routine for planning my traveling. Right now I know the places where I want to go, and I know to pace myself, so now I just have to figure out the rest. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I will definitely visit Livingston. I’ve kind of got my route from Arizona to Athens, Texas worked out in my head for next spring. I’m going to take some RV repair tech classes at the NRVTA there. I look forward to staying in touch with everyone and meeting whenever it’s possible. That’s one thing I like about these groups is the great network of people.

Thanks! I’m now trying to figure out the fine art of finding reasonably priced places to park my house. I’ve got a somewhat planned itinerary for things until Spring when I’ll end up in Texas for a couple of weeks. Do you have any suggestions for forums, etc.? Shelley

Hi! I’m in the process of selling my house and found myself in a similar situation. I needed to change my address but, for reasons involved with selling my house, can’t get an out of state address just yet. I was in a UPS (not USPS don’t confuse the two) one day and noticed they had mailboxes. I asked about it and they provide a mail service too. I now have a physical address, I have 24 hour access, and they will forward my mail on my request. It’s not as fancy of a service as Escapees, etc. but it was what I needed to bridge the gap. Check around to see if there is a local service that you can use. Shelley Haulinit
