Hello all. We ordered a 340RL while we were at the Tampa RV Show yesterday. Impulse buy....joking. We've been searching for the right rig for months.
We're coming from a Grand Design TT, which was an incredibly well made and thought out rig, but just lacked the room for all that we discovered we want to do in the RVing part of our life. We plan on using this as a second home and will be working remotely from different locations across North America; a month or two on the road, a month or two back here in SW Florida. We'll also use it for change of scenery trips here in Florida. We chose this rig as we feel that it will meet our needs while we work but also be the right size for when we retire in about 4 years. We were considering a DRV but this rig was about $60K less and checked a few more boxes for us. The DRVs are really well made rigs...pricey though.
We really enjoy the RV lifestyle but I love the systems side; the tow vehicle, the rig, the electrical, structural, and plumbing maintenance, etc. (not a tow police guy though). I'm a kind of an outlier as I actually enjoy working on our vehicles and RVs and find it relaxing and rewarding.
I want to ask a question about decorum on the forum here. Thread drift; is it something that is generally accepted or frowned upon? The reason I ask is that I appreciate thread drift. My logic is that as long is it is tangential to the original conversation it is relative and we can learn from the expanded content. Also, if we were all sitting together at the same place, the conversation would evolve. I'll respect whatever is the norm here but feel free to drift away on threads I create; it just feels more natural and conversational.
Personally, I am a vet (USAF and ILANG), retired cop from two agencies, and now work for a Fortune 50 leading their anti-fraud program. I'm originally from Chicago and now live in SW Florida on the border of Lee and Collier counties. We're friendly people, love to cook, and pretty much get along with everyone. My wife and I are in our 31st year together and I attribute that to the fact that I am just about the perfect husband; I remind my wife all the time that I would love being married to me if I were her. If you can't tell, I'm a joker too!
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to engaging with you all.
