This web site is best at 1024x768 screen resolution. Our lifestyle has radically changed, Mark had a stroke on July 30,2023 and lost muscle control on his left side. After 13 years of being full-time RVers, we settled down and built a small home in Retama Village. Joey, our Bounder and our Travel Supreme Trailer have been sold. The website is looking a little different as we added a top right icon pointing to the home we built. The home we built is from the Cottages series in Phase 5 of Retama Village, so we will refer it as *Our Cottage. The pages on our travels will stay as history. Tige* was used to live in when we were in Retama Village in Texas until *Our Cottage* was ready. Changes and additions to strong>Tige will be retained for reference purposes. *Red Rover* has moved on to another owner. The pages dedicated to *Red Rover* will stay in the website for historical purposes. Likewise, *Joey* has moved onto another owner. The pages dedicated to *Joey* will stay in the website for historical purposes. We have been on the road living the full-timing lifestyle since 6/6/2006. We did a lot to learn about full-timing and we still are in the learning process. We are documenting what we have learned to help those who will follow us.

	Full-Time Life Style Information on the full-timing life style is found in Full-Timing Life Style. This includes systems every full-timer or extended-timer should know about, like fresh water, sewer, and electrical systems, satellite TV and Internet connections.

We discuss what we ordered and added to Tige* and why and some of the things we did wrong. Since the manufacturer of *Tige, Travel Supreme, is no longer in business, the specifications and options on Tige* can be relevant to other trailer brands and can help make better buying decisions.
	Safety Information about items and systems we found to be safety related are found in Safety. These may be some of the most import things to look at.
