New motorhome owner
We just bought a 2022 their Vegas 24.4 we may be new to owning a motorhome but not to camping. We started out restoring a 1965 Scad-about teardrop trailer and belonged to 2 teardrop trailers clubs then we went vintage and bought and restored a 1955 Crown Canned ham and joined a vintage trailer group. I started restoring a 1966 Aristract lo linger but failed to complete due to becoming handicapped.. However, we still own all of our vintage trailers being it hard to let a
Project go after spending so much time on them. Due to my handicap we decided that a motorhome would allow us to continue camping. That's a little about us

I appreciate your comment however
My handicap has really limited my
Ability in regard to this sort of project i wish that wasnt the case but unfortunately
It has proven to be the case unless the VA comes up with a
Miracle cure
