I was one of the lucky ones to meet Shirley and Ann at the May meetup. What a treasure we have in meeting new and interesting folks through our common love of our Winnebagos and the travel they inspire. See you out there, Shirley!

I also met a new friend at an Escapees RV Boot Camp, which was a weekend seminar intended to help new RVers be as informed as possible. Like the ladies in this story, we hit it off instantly. My RV was a Winnebago View, and her's was a Class A of a different brand, but we met up after the Boot Camp for a few days at a different RV park, and are still good friends 2 years later. One comment I would make to Winnebago is that I hope you are looking for easier ways to dump the tanks for those of us who are getting older but want to keep RVing. For me, that is the hardest part, having to lean over so far (I can't squat because of knee issues), and reach so far to unscrew the cap.
