Graduated from beginner

After 1 year of RVing I feel like I have graduated to intermediate RVer. Many trips within Florida and a month-long journey up the east coast have given me a lot of experience. It was the round trip Florida to New York and Massachusetts that really pushed me over. I went through the Smoky Mountains, Blue Ridge Parkway campgrounds with no hook-ups, dry camping at a music festival, 2 tire failures (thank you Tire Minder), 1 electrical reverse polarity (thank you Surge Guard). I learned how to use my manual transmission mode in the mountains, how to best use the GPS without trusting it too much, how best to handle parking at rest areas and many other things. I learned that my vehicle is the perfect size for me and the kind of camping experience I want. Life is good.
Thanks for providing tons of education and advice - all of which helped me greatly in the selection of my RV and the preparations for my trips.
