Welcome, Linda. (I saw your name in another post.) They're telling me the deciding and planning is half the fun. How about telling us a little more about yourself... like whether you have animals for traveling companions, a favorite trip, or how long you've had the PW.
I'm brand new to RVing - in fact I'm picking up my first rig tomorrow. She's a new Greyhawk motorhome, 29' long and beautiful. I've already named her Joy. She and my furbaby, Tucker, will have time to get to know each other at the Oregon GTG.
You can check out the two "sticky" posts (the two at the top with the lightbulb icons) under Maintenance/Tech Issues for help getting your picture up there where it says "user's avatar." That will also help all of us know you a little better too.
Meanwhile be aware that all these posts are open to the public. People cannot go to the member bios unless they're registered, but anyone can lurk and read. Therefore you might want to go to your Northern CA GTG post and edit out the phone number. I think if members want to get in touch with each other off the forum, they start with a PM (private message) to the other person.
I hope this feels helpful, as intended, and not critical. I really am glad you've joined. You sound full of hopeful energy and a positive outlook.
