I'm brand new to RVing. Just purchased my little dream Winnebago Rialta. I've looked at ads for years, finally found The One! I'm a widow , recently retired and want to travel mostly to Tx and Ok to see grand kids. I bought a home in Maine last year, but don't plan to spend another winter like that one. So I get 5 or 6 months to use it. Any other Grannies out there with advice? I do occasional contract nursing jobs so thought this would be great for that as we'll. I'm picking it up in Phoenix next month after I finish my contract here in Maine. Excited and a little worried, my first interstate RV trip.

My mother had a sister named Johnnie. You are the only other one I have ever heard of. Welcome to the forum.

My first RV was a Winnebago LeSharo. It had the same body as the Rialta but a different engine. It was easy to drive but didn't have much storage. I bet there is a Rialta Forum that you could get a lot of information from.

I am from South Louisiana but camp in Texas as much as I do in Louisiana. There are a few members around Texas.

There is information on posting pictures at the top of the Maintenance/Tech topic.
