Reeltachy Report post Posted October 18, 2017 Just wanted to say Hi to all. I just joined FMCA after we bought our new rig in August. (Berkshire XL 40B-380) I have spent the last hour looking over the blog and I am amazed at the information offered from so many experienced people. My wife and I live in Tampa and since I'm still working we are part-timers. We will be increasing our time and distance in the RV over the next 2-3 years. This is my first DP, and I love the ride and the feel of the rig but I obviously have a bit to learn. Looking forward to meeting some of you on the road and I will try not to ask or repeat questions that have already been answered. Safe Travels to all, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you add your coach information to your signature it will help you get better answers when you ask questions. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hermanmullins Report post Posted October 19, 2017 Welcome to your new Family, FMCA. Your now have 74,000 new cousins. Also Welcome to the FORUM. Many of us have passed RV-101 and are now into RV-102. As far as I can tell no one has every completed the course as long as they own a Motor Home. Just as you think you have experienced it all something else comes up. But the nice thing about the FORUM is that several others have "Been there, done that and have more than one Tee Shirt for it." Loving in Tampa you are in the Southeast Area of FMCA. (there are 10 areas for FMCA) The AVP, Area Vice President, for the South East is Betty Duncan. If you have any question feel free to email Betty at bduncanfmca.com. She can help you with Chapters and Rallies in you area. By the way if you can get to Texarkana, AR by the 25th you can join us at the Six-State Rally. Come on over the weather is great.

fagnaml Report post Posted October 20, 2017 Reeltachy -- Welcome to FMCA and the Forum. Great looking motorhome!! I purchased my first ever motorhome two years ago as my family out grew our travel trailer. The motorhome is used for weekend adventures as I'm still some years away from retirement (dang it!). Thinking about Herman's comment (which are always fantastic!) after two years I'm still in Motorhome 101 class which is much more challenging that my previous Travel Trailer 101 and 102 classes. It's all that new "chassis stuff" and more "coach stuff" that makes Motorhome 101 more difficult to master and why FMCA, which exclusively focuses on motorhome owners, is such a valuable resource. Someday I may graduate to Motorhome 102 class. Don't ever hesitate to ask the Forum for help and ideas! My prayers are with you and your family for many safe, enjoyable adventures with your new home on wheels. You have great times ahead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
