Just finished making reservations to fly to Arkansas to buy our first RV.
It's a Class C, 1992 TravelCraft 29'. It's an oldy but a goody since it is owned by my FIL and has been babied by him for the last 10 years.
We pick it up on Wednesday, September 21 and have to race home to Nevada since we have to be back at work the following Monday.
Neither DH nor I have ever operated an RV so this little trip will be quite the experience. We've set aside a full day to learn the mechanics and practice driving in the AR mountains before we head home. If all goes well, and we enjoy the lifestyle, the next step once we retire is to RV full-time for the first several years of retirement.
And finally, to help remember all of the RV-required activities I bought an iPhone app called RV Checklist which has extensive lists of stuff to turn off, on and stow both before you leave and once you get to a destination...gotta love technology!
