How to RV

[choptop]

Well w/retirement a possibility next year, I am considering some occasional travel, a combination of long weekends, maybe a week here and their and the possibility of a month in the winter. Being not the smartest guy in the room, more of a spender than a saver and a sig other that although younger, their for will have to work about 10 years longer, but will never pull in a much money, I need to watch my pennies.

I will be either going w/ a class b, camper van style or a class c, van front, box back, style, not really interested in pulling a camper or having one in the bed of a pickup truck. It will be the (2) of us and the dog. The class b van would be the easiest to maneuver and use as a second vehicle, the class c would afford more room and storage. Would be towing the 6 of course. still open to all suggestions, any input would be appreciated.

Pull a Bunkhouse camper with your F6B?

+1. Since I retired from the USMC - the Holiday Inn IS the new definition of camping.

You should have joined the AF...you would not have to wait until retirement!

Air Force: "A great way of life."
USMC: "Doing bad things to bad people for 239 years."

Of course, since I wanted to fly, I didn't chose AF. The Navy/USMC has more pilots than the AF, and I believe the Army has even more.
But yes, the conditions could get a bit "austere" at times.

Reminds me of the cartoon where the Soldiers are up to their waist in a swamp and one says to the other "This sucks."
The next panel showed two Marines neck deep in the swamp and one says "I love how this sucks."
Next panel, two Sailors are looking through a porthole and in the binoculars you could see the Marines in the swamp, and one Sailor says "That's gotta suck."
Last panel, Airman Smith is in his hotel room, reclining on the bed, remote in his hand and says out loud "What? No cable? This sucks.!"

Not better nor worse, just different.
And with just under 40 hours in F-4s, yes, they rock!
Cheers,
Steve

Too funny !!!

Here's a little I learned:

1. Don't buy new. There's a ton of used RV's out there to suit every taste and budget.

2. Walmart is your friend. There's an atlas available (at Walmart) that lists every Walmart and where it is located. You can stay overnight at most Walmarts for no charge. Warning: the wife will get bored riding all day in the RV and go shopping at night.

3. Sign up for the Good Sam breakdown coverage. I've used them 4 times for tire changes.
