Yooper Running Free
New adventure awaits as I have just purchased my first TT. East to West 27K2D!
Selling my house and touring the USA for the next couple of years before settling down by children/grandchildren. TT will reside in Michigan's Upper Peninsula for the summer then heading South. I won't have a vehicle until the house sells but plan on a 3/4 ton.
I'll be on the road as a single lady and haven't pulled anything in years but am determined to take my time and do it right. I am reading a lot of the forum posts and will read all my manuals before heading out. I've also downloaded the RV owner maiden voyage checklist I found on here. Overwhelmed and excited at the same time.
I plan to stay at Military Campgrounds to start for both security and access to everything I may need. Westie Mix is traveling with me and currently in obedience school due to barking and aggression. Don't want to get kicked out on the 1st attempt.

Welcome to the forum. There is a wealth of information to be had here by either asking questions or using the search function.
Staying in the UP for the summer and heading S in the winter?? You might look around at some of the RV folks around you and visit. There are LOTS of folks from the UP that come down and stay with/around us in the winter in the FL panhandle. You might join up with some of those folks so the first trip isn't so overwhelming.

Welcome to the forum. Don't be shy about asking any question you may come up with. The first question for me that comes to mind is are you going to maintain an address in MI? Any children that you can use theirs for an address of residency for voting, license plates etc? What about a mail forwarding service? You have lots to think about and get in place before you can just "take off" and get lost on this continent.

Congrats and welcome. Good advice posted so far and more to follow I'm sure.
While the dog is in "training",maybe they can teach him how to set the stabilizer jacks too.

suggestion: add what kind of trailer and truck you have.
also, if you are planning on the naval base campground in key west you need to make reservations and you will also be in 'dry camping' for a while.

I'm hoping to start out in Destin at Eglin FamCamp. Need to make reservations yet. Trying to figure out my timeline.
