[Guest]

I am sooo glad to have found this forum! I'm a 60 year old single female and I'm selling my car and buying a 20' C class. I have been wanting to do this for so long. I know very little about how to do this and I don't have any money except my monthly "survivors benefits" from SS. But I'm doing ALOT of reading and I'll be on the road by my 61st birthday (Sept. 14).  I will be staying within Arizona and New Mexico. My kids and grand kids are in Arizona and I have health insurance through the state of New Mexico, so that will be my domicile state. So I'm learning about generators, deep cycle batteries, inverters, it's a whole new world! Yea!!!  Talk to ya soon!

Next month I'll be in Mesa at my sons while I sell my car and then look for an RV. As to where I'll go then, I don't know. I was just thinking that I should stay close to a (warm) town (NOT the Phoenix area!)&nbsp;for the winter while I work the kinks out of the the rv and my new lifestyle. Where are you going to be?

Welcome Sara! I used to live in AZ before moving up the Seattle area. I might end up moving back down that way at some point. Best of luck to you and yours.

<p>Welcome Sara! I owned a class C for awhile so you're more than welcome to pick my brain for help with this type motorhome before or after you get one. Good luck.</p>
