A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Hello Ladies!
Newbie is a nice way to put it. Not much of a clue is appropriate too. I don't even know the proper lingo.
So, I came home one evening and my husband of almost 37 years announced that we were the proud owners of an RV. There are lots of details that I will spare you, but...we are still married and I am getting used to the idea. Ok, don't tell him, but I'm "all in" now. We have been out for a long weekend twice now and are headed out again this weekend. Our first 2 ventures have been cold, but I think we may luck out this time. I just want to sit outside in my chair under the awning. Oh, and fire up the grill!
I grew up camping, no, like really camping...tents, sleeping bags... That was awhile ago. My dad and step mom were fulltimers for about 10 years. They loved it and shared a lot of their experiences with us. That's the extent of my knowledge.
It's gonna be a learning experience. Here I come!!!

Welcome, Kyle! I think your husband must have had an inkling you'd be on board! Glad to have you with us and hope to see you here often, and then somewhere down the road ...

Welcome and congratulations

Well, how exciting is that to come home to! Hpe it turns out to be one of your life's greatest experiences!

And welcome to a great forum, full of lots of knowledge and experience (myself not included). We'll look forward to following along on your adventures.

Welcome. Before long you will be planning all kinds of trips across the country. Enjoy.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

A big Texas welcome.

Welcome aboard. And as someone else who was tent camper in my youth......This is the way to travel. I like my dry warm/cool bed!

Welcome, Kyle.
What a cool surprise to come home to.
Sounds like you're going to have great time once the weather gets a little better so you can sit out under the awning & enjoy the campfire.
Hope to meet you down the road.

Welcome Kyle. Enjoy all your trips!

Welcome Kyle & DH Doesn't take long to get "all in" to the RV life So many great ladies on this site & a lot of good info! Keep posting on yore (sorry, "yew" key not working) travels! Happy camping!

Welcome.. Not to be nosey but what kind of RV did he surprise you with? We too grew up tent camping, lean-to and a pop up tent camper. I'm so past that. I enjoy my portable house.... I think the best part is sitting around a camp fire after the little one has fallen asleep with a book, an adult beverage and a cigar (something I picked up in culinary school). While I enjoy my camp fire and the friends we meet, I look forward to A/C (or heat), a soft bed and a good nights sleep. Campers have come a long way in the last 30 years. Hope you enjoy your new RV even if you don't let DH know he did OK.

Welcome and congrats on the new rig! I am quite new to this site myself. We don't have your rig just yet. But it is in our near future! Enjoy your travels!
