Newmar 3927 FRED front engine diesel with a garage
Congrats and Thank You for supporting the sport all these years !
Congratulations! Enjoy your retirement! Great to see you built a well-regarded business with a great product.
Enjoy your well deserved retirement . If you are an off roader , keep us posted on your location when you need local knowledge of the good stuff. This retired guy knows the Mojave area pretty well.
Congratulations Steve. Enjoy your retirement and it was a pleasure to meet you in 2010 at the MXdN.
THAT IS THE DREAM!
Congrats and enjoy!
Nice rig. Newmar makes good stuff as RVs go. I considered them for the garage, but since we will full-time she wanted a little more room and a bath + 1/2. I'll tow my truck with a bike in the bed.
With having the business I can’t go on SS till 2027 so pour Goal is to sell everything by Jan 1 2027 and hit the road.
Sentiments above repeated.
Congratulations and best wishes on a plan well executed.
Proper use of all caps almost didn’t notice.
Anyways congrats too!
Every day is Saturday.
Pit Row
4 years, almost to the day, left for me then I can join you guys.
Congrats and enjoy your six Saturdays and one Sunday.
We will sell the house and put some stuff in storage in Spring of 2028, a year after I retire (July 30, 2027 is my last day!!!!). One of our plans is to spend a year following the SX and Outdoor tours and hit every race at every track. My wife is a big moto fan too, so she's down for it. Then we will do a wine tour, a fly fishing tour, and a golf tour. That's the first 4 years of retirement on the road. After that who knows.
Congratulations and a couple of warnings:
the garages on these canyon stars are the shit!!! josh hill has one. congrats from hammertime!
i've been running a leisure travel van for the last 5 years which is great for the big parks ect, but come retirement that garage has me sold and i'll be switching.
Thanks everyone!
The clock is ticking on the process to hitting the road full time and we are cleaning off shelf’s and doing a community yard sale next Saturday with lots of clothes and household goods. God we have a LOT of stuff !!!
Loving our 2021 Newmar 3927 Freightliner Front Engine Diesel chugging up mountains! I was skeptical about going diesel but WOW what a difference going from our gas 8.1 funmover super C to this. Driving it the first 500 miles from picking it up at the factory in Nappanee Indiana to Florida for thanksgiving the handling, suspension was great and sold me. I see all the people with the V10 having to put $10,000 into suspension to get to what ours came from the factory with.
sounds like some of you guys really planned well and have a great retirement in front of you. We did same. The hardest part is the health care situation- especially if you retire early like I did. Make sure you have some kind of a disaster plan for an unplanned health care event both at home and on the road traveling. Enjoy!
Going on Medicare last year on my birthday sure was complicated and kind of difficult deciding on which one to go with. One of those choices is some can not be easily used when traveling state to state like we are.
I did get some valuable suggestions from guys here in the non moto section about making those choices .
congrats on making it through the Medicare minefield! A lot of gotchas and deadlines to navigate along the way. I actually had to go on Obamacare from age 56-65. I was used to HMO style plans and already had a good network so the worst part of that was cost shooting up to $560.00 month after never paying more than $240.00. They also banned private insurance from COSTCO and AARP which I was counting on using 😡
Medicare advantage worked great for a couple years with all my care providers in the allowed network already and you always have USA minimal travel coverage for Part A hospital, but it only covers stabilizing you until they can ship you to a hospital in your home network. I was going to stay with it but the plan was not offered again for 2026 so had to go Original Medicare Plan A & B + a supplement + a Part D plan to get the same thing. At least it goes nationwide now.
Same for me ACA moved me straight into Medicare at 65 I Did BlueCross B and only neg for D is they will not cover Dexcom and before choosing it we checked and they covered everything that I am on.
If you are in the road you need traditional Medicare. Advantage plans lock you into locations and that doesn’t work for the mobile lifestyle. Retirement finances sure are a minefield.
I have Anthem BCBS supplement this year and so far so good. Wellcare part D. I live in small town and choices are skimpy every year. 😏
