Hi all...

First of all, let me say that this is a great site and I really enjoy all the info that you guys (and ladies) put out. I'm pretty new here (registered), but I've been lurking for quite a while. I was wondering, is anyone building/flying down here in the Keys? I'm particularly interested in -7's and -10's. I would love to stop by and take a look. Don't need a flight, it's just that I've never gotten to see an RV in person and I'd truly love to. I'm on Cudjoe, so anything from Marathon to Summerland to Key West would be perfect. Anyhow, once again, thanks for sharing all the knowledge. Sooner or later, I hope to be able to use it for my own project!

Ron

You can also go to the RV White Pages.

Sort by location.

Hey Mike,

Well, he's up in W. Palm...that's actually about 4 hrs from here. Just to get out of the Keys to the mainland it's close to 3 hrs (traffic dependent) That's what you get when you live in a place with one road in and one out...

I bet if you offered a few nights stay and use of your vehicle, folks would be in line to fly down and show you their RVs.

I see from your bio that your occupation is "flying a balloon". If that's what I think it is, then throw one of those in and I'm on my way. Oh... wait... I don't even have an RV yet. Well, maybe someday we can hook up.

Hmmm, I'm thinking maybe a FL VAF lunch invasion of Sugarloaf. Anyone? I still haven't gotten my RV to the keys. Other suggestions welcome.
