Hello from PA - Glad to be here

[wistful vista]

Hi everybody;  it's great to be here as a member (finally). I've been lurking around and watching Bob's videos (and others') for about a year now.  I'm learning all I can (and taking notes) and hoping to build my own mobile retirement home for when I retire within the next 2-3 years.  I have already learned so much from Bob's videos and from this forum, and I hope to learn more as a member.

We're practically neighbors. 

I'm on my way to Florida now for the winter. But the van is registered in PA, so every summer I have to pop up for an inspection (and to visit my sis).

Howdy neighbor.

I'm still in the planning stages, but when I finally take the plunge I'll register my van in PA too.  BTW, did you register your van as a motor home, and if so, was it a difficult process here in PA??

To be an RV, you have to have storage tanks and an external hookup (that was for the insurance). So I am registered as a "truck".

Thanks for the replies.  Is the "truck" insurance much more $ than "RV" insurance?
