...has arrived.
My dh's health has continued to deteriorate and we haven't been able to use our motorhome in over a year. We just waited too long to retire and buy our RV. So, this past weekend we finally had to make the hard decision to put our class A up for sale. We had so many plans to travel and see this beautiful country we've been blessed to live in. We were blessed to be able to take two long trips in it and three weekend outings, which was just enough to whet our appetites. But, it was not to be. I encourage all you younger folks out there to not wait too long to start realizing your RVing dreams.

I'll continue to visit this website as I have come to enjoy so very much hearing about everyone's adventures. Stay safe, have wonderful travelling experiences and may your RVing days be long and fulfilling.

We are sorry to hear this, and I know what you mean not to wait, we are not waiting. We just never know what the next day will bring, or the next hour but to live the moment. Good Luck God Speed.

I am so sorry to read your post, yet you have the compassion to come share your words of wisdom & experience... thank you so much. I hope y'all will find something else you can do together and cherish the time spent doing it.

I'll look forward to seeing your posts in the future.

This is certainly sad news. Wife and I will be praying for you and your dh. I retired early a year or two ago (55), but wife if still working a little to max her pension fund. We aren't going to wait very long tough, as we both like to go, and no one knows how long we will live. I know you will cherish the time you did have rv'ing, and you will be in our thoughts.

I know it was a tough decision to make, We purchased a nice TT and were able to make a couple of nice long trips in it before my wifes health put a stop to any stays in the trailer, I have kept it cleaned up and in ready to go condition now for almost 4 years, but the reality is She will probably never get to go out in it again, I cannot get rid of it yet, afraid it would send her the message that she will not improve and I cannot allow that, she has stabilized and the trailer is the carrot to encourage her to exercise and so forth....
