Hello From Anywhere U.S.A

by DripTorch419 » Wed May 23, 2012 1:17 pm

Hello To All !!!!

My name is Russ. I am the owner of a 03 TB Ext. As a Wildland FF and a full time Rv'er, my work has my family traveling all over the US in the summer. We would like to build our TB to suit the outdoor adventures that we love.

Welcome Russ. By "Rv'er", do you mean that you live in an RV?

Sweet. So I'm curious... Do you somehow trailer the TB when you have to move? Or just convoy?

So you fabricate wildland fires & fight them! That's what I call job security....... :slap:

Just kidding.

I just spent a couple nights in an RV, I can see being able to live out of one comfortably but would miss all the extra space of my house. My TV would never fit.
