Noob from Fredericton, NB Canada

I'm on the downside of 50 and thinking about retirement, my hobby is training hunting dogs, mostly retrievers, which I want to do full time when I retire. With that in mind we just bought a 2000 Ford F350 7.3L DRW and a 33' Dutchmen 5th Wheel Toyhauler ( it has the small garage with side ramp) which is the perfect place for the dogs. We have a 165 acre property here so the idea is train and trial in Canada for the spring, summer and fall than head south for the winter and keep doin' it. We haven't decided where in the USA yet, friends have recommended N or S Carolina, while others have talked up Texas, New Mexico even Arizona. I joinded this forum to learn , I have have the Edge Evo CTS installed in my truck and I heard about PHP on the DieselForum. I'm still undecided about getting my Evo upgraded with custom tunes but I can be convinced.
