LADIES: 4 YRS. AGO -2 DAYS AFTER MY 40TH BIRTHDAY-I SUFFERED A STROKE. I STILL TEACH FULL-TIME & LIVE ALONE, SO I'M FULLY ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. MY QUESTIONS ARE HOW EASY IS IT TO HOOK UP/DUMP/REFILL ETC. EVERYTHING ONE HAS TO DO TO KEEP M/H RUNNING SMOOTHLY-USING MY RIGHT HAND ONLY. YOU SEE, MY LEFT HAND BECAME USELESS 4 YRS. AGO. I ALSO WILL KEEP THIS BRACE ON MY FOOT TO STEADY MY ANKLE-FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. STILL, I WANT TO ENJOY MY LIFE, SO, I HAVE NEVER HAD A M/H BEFORE AND BOUGHT ONE FROM E-BAY WHICH I WILL PICK UP IN TEXAS WHEN SCHOOL LETS OUT. THANKS FRANCECSA DOMENICO

It is not that hard. And, most of the time there are people in camp already when you get there. Chances are all you would have to do is ask one of them and you would have a whole creww helping you in no time. Karen Karen the Gypsy in Deep South Texas

Hi, Franny--
I am also physically challenged. I recommend you thinnk about inviting a buddy along on your first one or 2 trips. That way you could learn the ropes without worry. I'm sure you could do almost anything--but do carry a cell phone for emergencies@

I guess you did not want to listen to our advise not buy a RV off the internet due to not being able to have it checked out but now that you have done this, if it is in working condition, just ask when you check into the campground if someone can help you set up and they will show you how to do everything. I would say the only thing that really requires two hands is the sewer connection and when you get used to it, you will be able to do that with one hand I think. How big is the rig? Driving a big rig is dicy with one hand but if you have one of those knobs on the steering wheel you will be fine. RVing is the best so I wish you the best in your travels with the new RV. Email me any quesitons you have and I will try to help answer them and do let us know how you are doing! Take care and Be Well, Sandie

Take care and Be Well, Sandie
