Well done! Once you get comfortable with towing and setting up your trailer, there is so much to do and see, especially in the West. We are also from SoCal -- feel free to click on our blog link below, just to get some ideas of the places you can go.

Let the fun begin!

Thanks, wasn't overly worried about the tow short of being a little close on Gross total pulling a 6800 lb dry weight with a 1/2 ton 5.4L V8 with 175K on it already, and a family of 5. When the trip down was done yesterday, it was more adjusting to the combination of the two and learning the "limits" so to speak. All in all it was a fairly easy drive as I've been towing for years, just not civilian vehicles. As you are in SoCal as well, Onofre in two weeks and probably Lake O'neil a couple weeks later. Trying to enjoy as many weekend trips as possible till we move up to Washington later this summer.

:) Hi, new trailer requirement; You have to watch two movies before going on your first camping trip. "RV" with Robin Williams and "The Long Long trailer" with Lucy and Desi. Now you're ready to hit the road.

It's one of the two happiest days in the life of an RVer...

I thought that was a reference to boat ownerships.

CONGRATS jernst1978...Have a great 1st trip, followed by years of enjoyment.

Congrats, we for some werid reason always go from dealer to campground over the last 3 purchases. the first one was the rough one. We never camped and the dealer did not talk about wheel chocks, wheel locks , piece of wood or levelers for the jack and no levelers for the wheels. Oh no hose either.

so we pull into a very hilly spot as it was 4th and we got a crappy spot hilly between 2 trees...lucky some campers collected rocks for wheel choke and I went to near by walmart...needless to say for the subsequent purchase I was better prepared.

Congratulation and safe camping

Congratulations. I look forward to your stories and pictures !

Have good safe fun. May God Bless you in your travels.
