Hello All,

We are JB Old N New .... I am John and the better half is Bernadine (AKA Bea). The old and new is due to the fact we dated all through High School, went our separate ways and reconnected in our 50's (So we are an old couple and a new couple).

The other part of our family still with us is BC our very solid BLACK CAT who is AKA spot. It' short for Ink Spot! Unfortunately my dog, other cat and two birds went with the kids as they moved out on their own (finally!) which leaves us in a brand new condition ... all by ourselves.

I am not new to the RV world having owned everything from a VW camper to both a class A and C motor home and everything in between EXCEPT a fiver. DW is new to this but very enthusiastic (sp?).

I have just spent over a week reading EVERY post from page 33 down to page 22 and then skimming on down to page 1. I feel I know most of you quite well and look forward to joining the family. A special Hi to Ossiebosie ... R U still out there? I really have enjoyed your posts but haven't seen anything since late 2007. I miss George like all the rest of you old timers, and respect all the opinions expressed here, especially from the old timers!

Enuf for this post ... stay tuned for information on our new rig!

John & Bea:

Welcome to the family. As you're not newcomers to RV'ing, you may find that your knowledge is a sought after commodity on these boards. One thing I've learned from joining this and other forums is the answer to a particular issue is just a few key-strokes away.

These folks are great and willingly offer assistance whenever it's requested. Enjoy!

Welcome to little "SUITE" family.
There are a lot of knowledgeable people here as you have found out by your reading.

Hope you are going to Amana for the rally so we can meet you both.

John and Bea,

We welcome you aboard! I'll bet you wondered at first what the heck when you read all those posts!! :lol: But don't get discouraged, these units are some of the nicest you'll find out there. We all have had some issues as all trailers do, but we work through them with the help of everyone here and we win!!

I saw your floor plan at a recent RV show here in Toronto. Very nice indeed! That hidden TV with the rear window was cool. We always liked the RE3 but preferred a window, and now another floor plan has opened up!

I too was in the USAF 77-87 , last 2 yrs a Crew Chief with the Thunderbirds out of Nellis.

Hope to see you guys down the road!

Bill and Joan

Thanks to all the welcomes ... Curious how many retired uniforms are out there in MS's?

I don't think we will make the rally this year as it's a bit far from Dayton and I'm still working for a year or two. Hopefully the next will be closer so we can attend.

John and Bea,

Welcome!! Hope to see you around the campgrounds. We camp at Summit Lake in New Castle Ind. quite a bit during the summer. It's not to far from Dayton. Also have you looked into joing the Suites Owners International Travel Club? A lot of great people there as well as here. A lot of the same people on this forum as a matter of fact.

Good Luck and Good Travels!!!

Been there ... done that! I get enuf grief from the DW and the rest of my family when I regress to my Top Sgt ways. I try to refrain from using my "command" voice. Those in the know, know what I mean!! :D :D
