Hi Everyone! I know many of you already but many I don't, and I'm looking forward to expanding my teardrop family! Life gets busy on the road and keeping up with social media and forums can be hard - but its worth it to form these friendships with like minded people like you. I'll try to check in and share here on the forums.

Quick intro for those I haven't met - Fulltime on the road for over a year (first T@G and now T@B), landscape photographer, nature fanatic, coffee-drinker, and now joined by my partner in crime, Kendrick.

Here's our little home, Rocky:

    Hi @MandyLea and Kendrick! Welcome. I've been following you since last fall when I decided to buy a T@B, and love your sense of adventure, your pics, and your wisdom! One of my faves was winterizing with vodka! Anyway, this forum is a great resource, and full of amazing people, many now friends and camping buddies. I look forward to see you both "around!"

    Ah shucks, it's all just one big happy family isn't it? We're here just try to help folks out, investigate things that either don't make much sense, or trying to figure out why they should make sense, regardless. Great place for a good chuckle once in a while, folks sharing good, bad & mediocre experiences, sharing modifications and/or alterations to fit their individual needs, and most importantly making both new, and good friends. If you're ever in our neck of the woods, stop by and say hello!

    @MandyLea I forgot to add that if you are ever passing through Eastern Washington give a shout out. We have an active enthusiastic T@b/T@da group( no T@gs yet), and @ericnliz  is the local pit-q expert while we show up with the rest for great potlucks! In the winter months we meet once a month for breakfast. We'd love to set two more places!

    Eastern Washington, eh?

    So do you know Ron and Shannon (who built a castle for their home in eastern Washington, complete with moat)?

    They're full timers we met in N.M. and I've been trying to find a way to send them some coffee that we owe them. Last I knew they were hosting at a CG in the eastern Washington area.

    @ChanW, Are Ron & Shannon on the Forum, or do you know? Not familiar with the names, or I'd try to help you out. If you knew which CG they're hosting, we'd make a trip. Do they have a White with Red trim CS model? If so, I might know who you're talking about. I bought my side tent & cover from them about 2 years ago, but don't recall if their names were Ron & Shannon, I'll do some looking to see if I still have their info tucked away.

    No, I forgot to mention, they're not Tab folks, they have a fifth wheel, if I remember right.

    I just thought I'd throw that out there. Perhaps they'll take us up on our invite to see NY state.
