Hey Beth,
Yeah, I've thought about that too. My sister took the 3rd seat out of her 190 to make it a 'toy box' for their dog stuff, leashes, etc. Thanks for the comment ^)^

Welcome !!!! Looks like you have the RT people helping you in your search. If you find one in my area, would love to check it out for you, but will leave the advice to others.

I love your name, kind of unusual, but really different and nice. As you have probably already noticed there are so many Carol's on here, you will have a hard time telling whos who, :? :roll: :lol: But we'll all know you !! ;)

Glad you've joined, will be interesting to follow you along in your search. Several of the ladies on here started out that way, now they have found theirs and will enjoy following you along on your adventure and search.

CArol :)

Hey Carol,

Thanks for the welcome & offer to check if any RT's come up in your area. We're all under snow advisories & it was really dicey getting into work this morning. I teach at a college...imagine most students won't show since most are commuters and a bunch of mine are parents, too.

Everybody stay safe & warm out there!!

Hi,

I am pretty new here too, and I just wanted to welcome you.

I am leaving to go out on the road on Feb 4th.
I have been getting ready for several months now, so I am pretty excited.

You can read my blog, and check out my website, and if I can help you out, let me know.
(I posted a link to the video tour of my Winnebago Vista on the forum here too)

Glad you are joining us,

Hi ladies,

Well, it's looking like I'm getting a 190P RT with low miles...and a not so low price as I'd hoped, but from what I've seen, you just do the best you can and then work to get the most enjoyment you can from your rig :roll: Of course, as soon as I decided on one, I had a tooth break in a bad way & now I'm scheduled for oral surgery to start an implant procedure next week....is this Murphy's law, or what?! :shock:

The RT is out of state, so I'll have to heal up for a week and wait until my spring break to go get it and camp back home with it. When I do, I'll let yall know more about it and take another stab at photobucket so I can post a pic w/o gobbling up space :oops:

Thanks for all your advice, assistance, comments and support! One of the things I will look forward to most is actually meeting up with yall on the road! :D

Congratulations on your new RT. You are gonna have a lot of fun. Are you headed towards any of us on your way to pick up you new baby? We'd love to have a chance to meet you on the road.

So sorry about the tooth, it hurts just thinking about it.

Hi ladies,

Actually, things do have a way of working out, don't they? Long story, short: I let one RT go due to all kinds of barriers that came up and I was trying to make everything work out...not listening to the cosmic universe (stubborn, stubborn, stubborn). But then I got a call from a dealer in my home town (!) that a newer RT 190 P had just come on the lot & I went up to see it yesterday & bought the sucker! Am very excited about this one, newer than the first, still under warranty and a way better price...what more can anyone ask? I'm scheduled to pick up on on the 8th and have already planned to meet up with my sister/bro-in-law to get a 'tutorial' voyage with them somewhere between us, probably TN, weather permitting.

So, another happy dance even better than the first, Beth! And Liz, thanks for all the suggestions and help. When I figure out how, I'll post a pic. I've got them on photobucket, but not sure how to get them here...just a link? So, if anyone can tell me how to do that, I'll get a pic up soon.

Thanks for the well-wishes on the tooth implant...good grief! I just want to get it over with, it'll be fine. Bet I'll be the rare one who ends up gaining 10# b/c I'll be having milkshakes :lol:

Hope everyone is doing great & I look forward to meeting yall at a rally this summer. CAN'T WAIT!
