Repkad Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hello Class of 2013! We've been in the planning stage for a long time. Bought our truck and fifth wheel over the past year or so and, like so many others, are getting the house ready for sale. Target date to hit the road is Spring of 2013 (April/May?), so I guess that makes us part of class of 2013! In the meantime, we're going to the Escapade and Boot Camp this year. Will any of you be there? Might be a good opportunity to do a trial cross country run before going full time. Sound off if we'll see you at the Sept. 2012 Escapade. Happy trails!

Steve & Cill Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Add Cill and I to the Class of 2013. We hope to be on the road no later than June of 2013. We are in the process of getting our house ready to go on the market hopefully by the end of August. We have our TV and plan on buying an Alpine 3450RL when the house sells or no later than May 2013. Looking forward to seeing this "Great Country" that we both served at our own pace.

lzaworski Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Frank and I are aiming at March or April 2013. First garage sale in December, second one in March and then we'll hit the road. We are renters, so no home to sell. Just foot loose and fancy free!! Really looking forward to it and as the time approaches, we are sure we'll have loads of questions. Spending most of our time now updating our home-to-be. Frank and Linda Z 1994 Rexhall Aerbus And a passel of whippets 1994 Rexhall Aerbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent a bunk of stuff to the DD to include in her yard sale. I placed you on the 2013 Map. Anyone else that would like to be on the map just send me a PM with the info you would like included.

lg61820 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I haven't posted much, not sure if I can get away in 2013. 08/01/13 is the absolute earliest I can go. I thought I'd wait until 2014, but the house is getting to be too much work and work is getting to be too much work too! Everytime I step foot in my almost vintage motorhome I am happy. Hope to see you on the road. LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So47 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hello to the class of 2013. My launch date is may24. It sounds silly now, but I was mad at myself for buying my rig so early (feb 2012) before I was ready to leave. After lurking for a few months, I am so thankful I bought way, way, way before I was leaving. I am busy making over the coach to better suit us and although I am more like the ten than a jack of all trades, I am handy enough to scrape by on most things. Having said that, wow, I feel lost when it comes to this lifestyle. The last time I camped was in a homemade pop-riveted pop up my dad built in the back yard . Good times. Anyway, frank and laurel hope to see you all on the road very soon. 06 Fleetwood Bounder dp 34h. Dragging around a 00" JGC 4wd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVID B Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hello Everyone, It has been months since I have viewed the Forum. I retired in March of this year and sold my Class C last week. We are getting ready to go to the Hershey RV Show next month, there may be a new RV with my name on it. I am glad the Class of 2013 continues to grow.

kellygirl57 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi everyone! We are sitting stationary right now for the next year in a campground. It is near my partners work until they retire early. Hopefully in August 2013. So in a way I'm full time but not on the road yet... :rolleyes:Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzaworski Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Add us to the list of 2013 grads. I'm already retired and Frank will join me February 1st. We hope to be on the road no later than March 1st. Right now I'm getting ready for the first of 3 yard sales we'll be having.

So by definition you are full time now. I am envious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hicks Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Aloha 2013 class! Robin and I are joining your ranks! We have been focused on being in the class of 2014 for some time now. Thanks to a couple of different variables we are going to pull the trigger a little sooner than originally planned. It looks like everything is in place for us to hit the road for good in April of 2013. We can't wait! We will be watching this thread closely. I look forward to meeting you all when we finally make it out there!

gfstryder Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 After talking about it and researching for the last 2 years we finally broke down and left the Hershey show with a new motor home. Now if we can just sell our house, we will be on schedule to get on the road in August 2013. Needless to say, we are a little nervous, but excited.

tibbar Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I would like to be part of the class of 2013. Perhaps it will have to be as a "part timer" because as I look around and see all the stuff my husband would have to get rid of if we went full time, I know it will never happen. So, part time it will have to be. With any luck 2013 will be the year we spend more than 5 days in the RV we have owned for 11 years. That one 5 day trip was in 2002 and it rained the whole time!

I don't know what the criteria is for your class status and don't really care. If you feel your are class 2013 all I can say is welcome classmate! I understand the overwhelming feeling of getting rid of "STUFF". We plan a large yard sale as soon as we get back from a almost 4 week trip. When that is done, we have a few small protects and then we invite the Realtor in for an analysis and hopefully a "for sale" sign. I hope 2013 is the year you get to spend as much time as you want on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdeasy Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 We started the year in the class of 2012 but I'm transferring us to class of 2013. Main reason for this move is that we are still waiting for the house to sell. Even if it does, I probably can't retire and hit the road until next year. But we do have the new F250 and got our Arctic Fox TT in May. We have been out in it a number of times and it already feels like our home away from the house. Hope to see many of you on the road next year.

1200bruce Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 My wife and I are nurses in WA. and were looking at finishing out our last years of work as Traveling nurses. So were looking at the Heartland brand Fifth wheel, and plan to sell the home (it's paid for) Spring/Summer of 2013, and off we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim & Alice Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I guess you could consider my wife & I as part of the Class of 2013... This is actually a year or two earlier than we planned, but I am an elected guy, and my term is up in November, and I decided to just 'not run again', so I officially retire in November, and my wife in December. Besides that, we ain't getting any younger! We bought our Motorhome two weeks ago, and bought the toad three weeks ago. We have rented out the house effective Jan 1, 2013... We plan on being in Q right after (or during) the RV Bootcamp in AZ. So as of 1st week of January 2013, we be part of the Class of 2013!

bmiller Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 We joined Escapees in April, but we were not sure which year we could make our goal. Well, looks like 2012 is our year! Once we made our decision there was no stopping us! We have given most of our furniture to our children and all of our treasures now belong to them. Our house was listed a week ago and we have someone interested all ready. Danny is finishing a school gym and library he has built and will finish in about a month. I will work until our home is sold. We have our fifth wheel picked out and we are so excited we can hardly contain ourselves. Thanks to all the wonderful discussions on this forum we have learned so much about our new lifestyle to come. I look forward to meeting my new friends on the road!
