Thanks to everyone on rv.net

I wanted to thank everyone at rv.net for all of the great information. I just picked up my first trailer yesterday and it went more smoothly than I could have hoped. Besides going to a few dealers, looking at mfr websites and reading trailer life, I got the majority of my info from the users here. I went from knowing zero about this lifestyle, to trading in my car for a truck and purchasing a new trailer in 6 months. I plan to be around for a while once we start to use it and to pay it forward. For anyone else that is starting out blank as well, this is a great place to be.

    Glad people could be of help to you. Just remember to keep in touch with this site and to lend your expertise from time to time as your knowledge and experience increase. That's the best way to say thanks! Happy trails.

    We started RVing 13 years ago, and thanks to the info here(and foibles shared), we've had a pretty uneventful time of it. The memories that stand out (and there are hundreds) are happy ones :-) Welcome; and have a wonderful time camping!

    I have just put a down payment on my first travel trailer. The people on this forum were a big help. Another huge help to me was a book I got from the library. It is called The Complete Idiots Guide To RVing by Brent Peterson. It has checklists for hooking up and setting up your trailer at the campground. It covers fith wheel RVs, trailers and pickup campers. The book covers everything. I have ordered this book from Amazon and it will be traveling with me.
