Hello from northern Illinois
Hello from northernorthern Illinois!
Last summer we bought a used pop-up to "try" the camping thing. I grew up tent camping but never had a camper before. Wife was completely new to it. Ended up loving it so much that 6 weeks later we traded the pop-up for a new StarCraft 17SB. We liked sleeping under the canvas but with two little kids and two dogs we needed more space and a bit quicker setup and take down. I've been lurking around JOF since we got the HTT last summer but decided it was time for a formal hello. Lots of great people, information and ideas here!
Brad

Congratulations on the new StarCraft and welcome to the forum.
Lots of us got into RVing the same way you did; tents with family, pop-ups, and then onto the 'hard-side' of RV life.

Welcome to the form from Oregon. We have family in Moline that we visited 2 years ago. The drive was long, but rewarding and we enjoyed ourselves just seeing the flat part of the states and all points in between.

Welcome from Tennessee! When I was stationed at Scott AFB we called anywhere north of I70 as "Northern Il!" Just wondering as I have family still up there.

We actually moved from St Charles to where we are now about 3 years ago. Small world!
