Thanks all for your responses
Does not surprise me there is a R.I. club and it is probably growing by leaps and bounds as Rhody is not a financially friendly state to retirees.
Yes, hubby and I are planning on taking a pilgrimage to TV probably early next spring. Although we are definitely not ready to buy, we really want to check out some CYVs as this time around we want as maintenance free as possible plus like the privacy these homes offer. By the time we are ready to buy TV will most likely be built out, so purchasing a resale is fine with us as I still have PTSD from building my house 20+ years ago.
Any hoo, as much as I would love to make the move to TV now, gotta get a few more years of ducks lined up, and in the interim will will try to savor the journey as much as the destination.
