A 2001 Fleetwood Bounder, diesel

Two words that best describe my current motorhome:
Comfortable riding

The best thing about my motorhome:
I like everything about it.

I decided to buy a motorhome because:
Before my spouse, Warren, passed away in 2000, we knew that I couldn’t keep up the house.

Occupation:
Retired factory worker

Children:
I have one son, two grandchildren and one stepdaughter.

The best thing about motorhoming:
The people you meet

My favorite motorhoming destination:
Traveling throughout Texas

My “dream” motorhome trip:
Tour the Northwest and parts of Mexico

My perfect day of motorhome travel:
Light traffic and stopping at Flying J Travel Plazas

My worst motorhoming experience:
When the tow bar came unhooked on one side

My motorhoming pet peeve:
The auto drivers who cut you off, not thinking that a motorhome doesn’t stop like a car.

The best addition I’ve made to my motorhome:
Satellite TV

A special feature of my motorhome:
It came with a 2-Way Walkie/Talkie Radio Package. Walkie-talkies don’t do much good, since I travel by myself.

If I could change one thing about our motorhome:
Have a better kitchen area.

Something about motorhoming that I know now but did not know when I started:
How well I’d like it

When driving the motorhome the most important thing to remember is:
Use your mirrors and rearview monitoring camera, if you have one.

Favorite restaurant: I don’t eat out too much.

If I were awarded a free shopping spree at any store:
I can always find something at Camping World, even if I don’t need it.

When motorhome owners visit my state, they should be sure to see:
Amish country in Ohio — the Walnut Creek Cheese Store is fantastic.

Items that are always in my motorhome refrigerator:
Cheese and fruit

My advice to new motorhomers:
Do a lot of shopping to make sure you have all you need and want from a motor coach.

Behind my motorhome, I tow:
A 1999 four-door Chevrolet Malibu, using a tow bar
