What is your BEST words of wisdom?

G.O.A.L.
Get Out And Look.

If you can't see what is behind your trailer (even backup cameras don't see everything) G.O.A.L.

Last thing before you leave is a full walk around, look under everything (nothing left on ground, jacks , toys, chairs, coolers, etc). Look at the sides (have the lights and hazards on) check all the lights are on, and some at the back blink. Make sure the slides and windows are closed all the way, none of the tires are squatting. Look up, antenna down, vents closed, not going to hit that tree on the way out.

Thank you all for the expert and sometimes funny advice. We have so enjoyed this thread and the insight it has provided. We will be hitting the road in less than two weeks....nervous but excited too. Thanks again. Team Crews.

Don't look back and wish you hadn't purchased a DUALLY ! ! ! A DUALLY solves very few of the problems that RVers encounter and adds some of it's own.

The pull test is not enough. You can submarine the pin, get a good pull test and drop the trailer. Get off the seat, go back and look. The jaws must be around the pin, or the drawbar across it.

I once had a driver drop a loaded tanker on his way off the lot. It ain't easy to get a dropped and loaded tanker up off the ground. That driver was not with us long, not long at all.

Enjoy. Cheers.

That's all I got.

Also keep a file of cool places to visit that you see on sites like this, soon you will have many to choose from.

Buy a good quality set of lounge chairs and a small cooler for your favorite drinks. Take pictures and make memories. Your camper is the best thing you have ever spent money on. Take time and plan to use or you won't.
