Rv noob here! Hi everyone!

[4theriders]

So, I've never owned an rv before...and a week ago, I bought an 08 thor four winds siesta 29bg. To live in. 🙂

Bought it in Texas and am currently driving it back to the west coast where I'll be spending most of my time.

Talk about diving in head first, right? I'm 36, I'm a motorsport photographer for a living, so I'm on the road all the time anyways. A recent breakup with the longtime girlfriend... She kept the house, I bought a house...with wheels. 😄 this is something I've been wanting to do for years anyways!

I'm here now looking for any advice, must haves, don't-dos, etc.

This week has been awesome So far! I've learned quite a bit already, but I imagine there's a million years of knowledge on this forum! 😄

Thanks everyone! Happy travels!

Roger that! I commented to my best friend earlier today something to the effect of "I think you need to be a general contractor to own/operate an rv!" Haha!

I'm currently trying to diagnose why my 12v furnace (hydro flame 8500-IV series) isn't controlled by my duo-therm thermostat...or controlled by anything that I can find at all. Haha. I didn't even know it had a 12v furnace until today, after finding literature in the rv for it.

It's like it doesn't even have power are all.
