billnpenny Report post Posted December 7, 2018 Hello FMCA community! We are new to the Motorhome lifestyle. At the present time we call ourselves almost half timers. LOL We normally spend around 100 days traveling and hope to soon get up in the area of 150 travel days a year. This is our new Motorhome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hermanmullins Report post Posted December 7, 2018 Bill & Penny, Welcome to the Forum. Ross and Carl have a tremendous amount of sage advise to pass on to all that need it. Both are very active in FMCA on the National level. However I have to correct you in one place. It is Manholt not manhole, although it may be apropo. So keep those cards and letters coming and have fun in the warmer weather. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted December 7, 2018 BillnPenny, welcome to the forum. Nice coach. I can understand your desire to head toward warmer weather. Do you have any destinations in mind? 1 hour ago, hermanmullins said: However I have to correct you in one place. It is Manholt not manhole, although it may be apropo.

billnpenny Report post Posted December 8, 2018 WILDBILL308, This will be our 4th year heading to Florida. We have a Thousand Trails membership and plan on spending spending 6 weeks at probably 3 different TT parks. We’re also going to spend a month down near Punta Gorda. I think 2020 might see us in south Texas Arizona and Southern California. Thanks for the welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted December 8, 2018 BillnPenny. Don't worry about it, we all have met and see each other, at least annually!

billnpenny Report post Posted December 9, 2018 Thanks for the welcome guys! Unfortunately the GA rally this Spring is 2 weeks earlier than we will be coming north out of Florida so we wont get to experience a FMCA National Rally but I'm sure that one will be in our future. We are looking at a couple of regional chapters and will be checking out a couple of their get togethers next summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billnpenny Report post Posted December 12, 2018 Thank for the info manholt. I used to golf a little but not in a few years. I took up Fly Fishing and really enjoy Upland Bird hunting. My wife and I like to day hike and ride bicycles. And of course sight seeing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
