Danette and Dan,

    I think you have gotten the true feeling of owning a Motorhome. I think the word
FREEDOM is a good descriptive  term. We can choose everyday to travel or not, to
go 150, 250 350 or more miles a day. We know there will never be a no vacancy turned
on when we are ready to stop. There are alternatives and we get to choose which one(s)
we want, everyday. We have the option to sleep late and drive late, as I do, the there is
my friend Brad Metzger that gets up at 4:30 every morning. We prefer to grab McDonalds
for breakfast. sandwich on the road for lunch then a good evening meal and when our house
has its legs under it on firm land we have options from the pantry and freezer.
      Great food from a day of cooking with extra portions frozen away for yet another gourmet
meal. So many options. Life is great when you set the cadence that the band marches to it.

True words. When I was still working, we could only travel for days/weeks/months. "Mr. Organization" had a clipboard listing our "ETA" to "enjoy" the trip. We found a little County Park on a lake (not on the clipboard) and stayed overnight. Pulled out the next a.m., got about three miles down the road, both looked at each other, and said, "THAT was a cool site!" Turned around and stayed for a week: so much for clipboards and ETA to this day.  ^.^d

We have found a better alternative to McDonalds for breakfast. Jimmy Dean makes outstanding breakfast sandwiches and (especially) breakfast bowls. It's so easy to pull them from the freezer and cook them in the microwave and so nice to eat them at "home" that there's generally no need to go anywhere else for breakfast--unless it's somewhere special that we really want to try!

Mike so true. We never took a vacation without the strict time lines. I always dreamed
of being able to just get in the car and drive where ever, it never happened. Now with a
MH one can really relax and go to where ever the wind sent us.

David I agree on Jimmy Deans, we use them when we are parked and probably
should use them all the time. On the road a Mickey D's stop has become a
tradition. The cook does not want to make coffee, cook anything and have to clean
up after a meal (paper plates are "clean up" ?). Took a long time to get to free Sr.
coffee !

Thank you for the replies. We went down and looked at it this weekend. It's exactly what we are looking for in a coach! I'm picking it up Thursday contingent on it passing an inspection. Looks like we'll be joining the ranks of being a new Foretravel Owner!
This will give us time to get familiar with the coach and get it ready to hit the road this fall when we retire and go Fulltime!
Thanks,
Dave D
WELCOME ABOARD!!!!!
