I just wanted to say hello to everyone on this great forum. After reading Bob's philosophy, and some other things he has written, i knew this was the group that i would align with best, even though i dont live in a van. I do however have a fairly new fifth wheel that i saved up (After having to sell my semi truck and trailer, i was an owner operator) for after becoming disabled about 3 years ago. Now after my wife suffered a horribly painfull disease called pshoriatic arthritis, and just received her disability a few months ago, we have rented the house for extra income, and have decided to set out on the road here shortly, after i save up and get my solar system installed. We hope to make it out to the RTR in 2016 to try to learn as much about this lifestyle and boonkocking as possible.
