Joining the Boomer RVer Generation
Just bought our first motorhome, a 1991 Fleetwood Flair 25 footer. Great condition, 37,910 miles and 83 hours on the generator. We took it out over Easter weekend just to make sure everything worked and it did. We camped overnight at Jim and Mary's RV Park on the outskirts of Missoula, Montana, where we live. We also plan an outing for this coming weekend, and will venture a little farther down the road, about 30 miles or so, to another local place, the Jocko Hollow campground. Just $20 a night and it's pretty quiet for camping right now. Pretty cold too, with a HIGH temperature forecast of just 38 degrees for this Saturday. Overnight low will probably be near 20 or so.
We look forward to many weekend outings this summer. I/we have been camping in a tent and sleeping on the ground for soooo many years. We thought it time to try something else. We won't be going up into any "real" backcountry, at least not by Montana standards, but this should be great for campgrounds with services, which is how we have pretty much been camping for the past two or three years now.
We have SO much to learn about the vehicle itself and all the systems; it is pretty intimidating. I can't imagine trying to drive one of those BIG rigs. A twenty-five footer is quite a challenge for a beginner to handle.
I am looking forward to reading posts in this Group and learning a LOT!
