New owner

We just bought a 17 RK at the Hershey Show with delivery in about a week. Moving up from a Little Guy Tear Drop which we have used for the past couple years. Nova Scotia, Florida Keys, 1000 Islands and Yellowstone. We hate to give up the Tear Drop but it's time for standing headroom and indoor plumbing.

We also have retired from long distance cruising on a sail boat, entire East Coast twice (something like 16,000 miles).

I guess you could say that we have been doing a soft transition which opens up a whole new cruising area to us.

Welcome from Alabama! Enjoy your Jayco!
We traveled the country in a PUP. Last year we decided it was time to stretch out a bit and be less susceptible to wind, rain, and noise - not to mention having a place for everything. We love the TT life!
