Hello all,

I am brand new to this forum. I have been lurking for quite a while though. My wife and I have been wanting a RV for quite a while and we are finally in a position to get one. We just purchased our tow vehicle. A F350 DRW lariat. We have kind of got our hearts set on the Heartland Torque 325SS. Anyway, just wanted to say hello and I look forward to the wealth of knowledge that appears to be on here.

Rent a few in different floor plans and see what you want in your floor plan. Buy used your first RV will not be your last.

One question you most likely not have to ask is "Can my truck tow this trailer"?

Happy (future) camping!

Welcome! I will say I learned almost everything I know about towing, weights, etc. from this forum. Good points about patience and the "few cranks," but those are minor challenges. It's a good place to be. Enjoy getting into RVing!

Welcome! This forum is a great place to learn. I joined back in 2005 and have been able to do many things on my unit as opposed to taking it into the shop. Enjoy the new lifestyle.
