Both of their daughters and their families are full time RV'ers and they want to be able to join them on some of there outings.

Personal Experience
We added this photo to demonstrate what happens when you fail to quickly take care of a small leak in your RV. We noticed the floor was soft in the living and bathroom area of our unit and it kept getting worse. We thought it was a leak from the slide but could not find it. Found a valve on the back of the toilet leaking and replaced it thinking that was the problem. No. Still getting worse. This was going on for a couple of years. Fast forward to our trip to Colorado last Summer. After replacing the floor (twice: first attempt failed) from the living area, through the bathroom to the bedroom and removing the panel behind the toilet, we connected to city water in New Mexico and water sprayed throughout the bathroom and the enclosure behind it. Finally! We found the leak (A $10 part to connect the water hose to the unit). This was about a $4500 expense that we could have avoided if we had found the leak in the beginning. We tried but didn't know enough about our unit to look deeper. As a result, I, Jimmy, chose to attend the National RV Training Academy to gain the knowledge I was missing. Became a Certified RV Technician and a Certified Inspector so I could help others avoid this kind of costly mistake. Believe me, it is much less expensive to repair immediately than to let it go on until the damage is extensive. Let us do an inspection for you and see what you might be able to avoid.
