Once again we find ourselves looking for a new Motorhome to tour the US and Canada.
We (wife Kim and 3 yr old daugher Joy)did this in 2004, leaving 35 years in California to move near my grown daughters in Ft. Myers Fl. Then I went to another training school and became a Lee County School Bus driver until 2011 when I once again went into retirement.
