Long time reader (lurker) of the site. I just celebrated the 13th anniversary of my 39th birthday, so I'm feeling pretty good about myself. <img class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif"> I'm a full time working engineer, and full time live in a 25 ft Class C. I'm in a nice RV park near Houston, and will (hopefully) be of some help with questions pertaining to this arrangement. My daughter is in college, so I can't pull up stakes and wander just yet.<br><br>I chose this lifestyle for several reasons, and this website was a big help in making that decision. Not only the technical advice, but the vision and view into the day to day successes and trials of the lifestyle were a huge factor in helping me weigh the pros and cons.

I'll try to check in often, and if at all possible contribute to the community in a positive way. <br><br>Bama
