What was your first newbie moment?
Ahhh the way back machine of the good old days of being a newbie at RV'ing sooooo many years ago!
1. Standing there with the awning instructions in hand trying to get the awning opened the first time!
A VERY nice fellow camper came over and helped me......I knew then and there that I was going to like RV'ing.
2. And of course turning the generator on for the first time and it not powering anything is almost a given right of passage to RV'ing when yet another fellow camper shows you that you have to plug the power cord into an outlet hidden in the cord storage bay! :W
3. Watching the shower floor filling up with water, thinking the drain must be plugged. I.E = learning curve about the gray tank and where the water goes when it is full!
4. Albeit my BEST one is the first little TT I had when I unhooked it on a slight incline without chocks behind the wheels and it started sliding backwards AND down hill from me was a brand new Prevost MH!!
I looked like the scene from Risky Business plastered against my TT trying to stop it just like when Tom Cruise tried to stop the Porsche from going into a pond of water...or at least that's what the rest of the CG said I looked like! :B
