New Owner in Eastern Washington

Hi all, retiree here. We just sold our 2013 Tiffin Phaeton after 4 years of full-time travels. Wife said we had to have something to camp in and both fell in love with the 17MKE. Bought it today and looking forward to delivery. Enjoying reading the threads on Solar/Lithium as we had a full pkg installed on our Tiffin and love to boondock.

You say 4 years full time. What made you come off the road? We just started full-time this year. Wondering how long I'll last!

We had always planned on 3 to 5 years, but when our kids and grandkids all moved to the same area, we decided to go back to sticks and bricks to spend time around them. We are going through some withdrawal.

Yeh. Understood. I sold my house last year and moved into my 5th wheel on my son's property. Been living full time in RV since April. We go out on trips. My wife wants to full time but goes to pieces when we have to say goodbye to our granddaughter.

Congrats and welcome to the group. The 17mke is a popular floor plan for good reason.

Interested in hearing your adventures as that is quite a downsizing.
