Hi Ruffus

Which tin can were you on? My first year, '64-'65, was spent on USS Wiltsie (DD-716) out of San Diego. Then I went to School of Music at Little Creek and became a Navy muscian. We live near Hamburg, PA and our kids live in Helendale near Barstow.

Hi Bob
Well we are not new to RVing but we haven't had an RV for the last 7 years. We use to have a 18 foot fleetwood 5th wheel that I use to pull with a 1990 Ford Ranger. We put about 130,000 miles pulling that fifth wheel from Calif. to Florida and from Colorado to Alaska and many points in between. We have never had one this big in our life, 38 foot and haven't been out in it yet.
I spent 6 years in the Navy during Viet Nam. I started in the Gator Navy in Little Creek VA and ended up on a Tin Can out of San Diego. I was a shipfitter and spent 27 years welding after I got out. Also did 20 years as a Deputy Sheriff in California in the Santa Barbara SO and 15 years as a launch manager for McDonnell Douglas Astronautics. Currently we are living in Florida but are planning to do some full timing by the end of the year when my wife retires. Where are you located and where are your kids at in Calif.?

Hey Navy Camper, welcome aboard shipmate. I hope you enjoy dry land sailing like we do!
