Jayco Junkie (in the best way possible)

Hi Everyone,
Thank you so much for adding me. I absolutely love RVing in "Bessie" and am delighted to connect with other Jayco-lovers!

Not all that long ago, my family and I were RV Newbies. Since this is the "welcome mat" section, I thought I'd share our first terrifying moments on the highway and tips you can use to avoid the same fate! Ha!!! http://cuontheroad.net/driving-miss-bessie/

Welcome to RVing!

We'll CU On The Road!

Hi Old Man AZ (sorry, I feel awkward calling you "old man")! Ha! Thanks for saying hello! It would be great to see you on the road. We'd love to travel west someday, but I suspect we'll need a bigger RV.

I've used the 'oldman' part for years. Back in my Battlefield/PS3 days, the 'kids' couldn't imagine anyone in their 60's playing those games.

Go west, young man! There's enough room for you and any size RV.

I grew up on that lake... Stayed there twice last season. I see I also bank at your credit union.

Small world!
