Hello from Florida

Hello,

My name is Mike, I'm married with 3 daughters and I'm from Citrus county, FL. I've just recently got into the TT lifestyle due to my profession. I'm a Union Millwright and travel all over the country working on Turbines, Generators, and all kinds of rotating equipment. I've been doing this for almost 10yrs and I've gotten tired of living from motel to motel. I recently bought a cheap trailer and decided to give it a shot. Well needless to say I really have enjoyed it. However about 8 months into it the back side of my fridge caught fire and I was lucky enough to be awake and put it out before burning the whole trailer burned to the ground. Fortunately I had a cheap insurance policy that totalled it out and paid me a small amount. Anyways I decided to take the money from the insurance payout and put it down on something a little nicer. After roughly a month of searching I finally found the one for me. I bought a 2016 Keystone Cougar 333mks. I haven't had the chance to use it yet but that time is coming as I'll be starting a new job down in South Florida in about 2 weeks. I'm super excited and hopefully I won't have any issues.

Thank you for everyone's participation in making this forum so informative. I've already learned so much from you all in just the last few days.

Mike welcome to the forum. I see you're from one of our favorite places in Florida to stay. Crystal River is a great area.
