Greetings Chipper,
Welcome aboard!
Another Chip here from Louisiana too. Next year my DW and I will start our FT RV retirement - the first 2 weeks at Fontainebleau SP in Mandeville and the next 2 at Fairview SP in Madisonville while I finish up some business affairs before heading to the Rockport area in TX to winter over.
I recently purchased an older MH to begin our journey. Do you plan on starting out in a van, with a trailer or an RV of some type? Will you be heading out alone, with a traveling partner, pet, etc? Tell us a little about yourself, your planned lifestyle, budget, etc. to get our recommendations for your unique situation.
Chip
