Hi everybody. I am scheduled to sign paperwork on a small travel trailer today. My plan is to Boondock as much as possible. I am fortunate enough to work from home and love the thought of being in the woods and being able to work as well from the RV. I have a Starlink set up so Internet will not be an issue. I have always enjoyed camping and use a tent or, when the weather is right, camp in my Jeep Wrangler. That set up, however, does not allow me to camp nearly enough. The thought of having the RV is exciting yet makes me nervous. Yesterday, I started to get cold feet. Does anyone have advice to help calm my nerves? 🙂

Wrong group but hopefully the mods will move.
Welcome. Just like buying your first car, house, whatever, you always get cold feet. You never buy your last RV first. We have had everything from Class A's, to a FW, to Class Cs and every time I buy another it gets easier and easier. Not only does the deal get more comfortable but your nerves get more calm, and you are more knowledgeable. Not only about what you want but what to look for in a reliable RV. Just know that everyone one of us went through it on our first camper and the most white-knuckle experience will be the first few miles when you leave the dealership. Do your due diligence, go over EVERYTHING in your RV before pickup and do not take delivery until things are to your satisfaction. Despite this, you will have issues. Just know that. Some may need warranty attention, some you may be able to DIY. You mentioned boondocking and working remote. how do you plan to manage your power supply, batteries, solar, generator?

Question in wrong section. Probably should be in Travel Trailer Group.
