Good morning! Newbie here saying "Hi"

Welcome to the forum! We have been glamping for 4 years now, and never realized how much we are hooked to it. You will love it, and the time that you will share with your family and the travel outdoors is great!
We have met such great folks, and been to wonderful places, come up to Central NY and see our finger lakes!

Welcome to the forum, and for that matter, welcome to rejoining the camping experience!! You are off to a great start, with the super tow vehicle, and a great family TT on order.

You are going to make some lasting memories with the kids. Some day, they will tell their kids how they enjoyed camping with their parents.

Welcome!

I found building a checklist very helpful on my early trips. I also assigned tasks to my kids for setup and tear down. Do a weekend shakedown before you launch to SC. Enjoy!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new rig.
Keep asking questions, there is a lot to learn and there is plenty of information and experience on the forum.
Enjoy your travels.

Welcome. You did just fine with the truck and the TT.

The checklist is a great idea I'll have to do that. I already have some hose extensions extension cord, andersen levelers, bubble levels. It's not due to be here till April. We've got a spot at our local State Park which is 5 miles away for our maiden voyage just in case anything happens.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on you new purchase! We've been RV owners for a long, long time, and the anticipation of taking the camper somewhere is just as much alive today as it was 30 years ago when my wife and I rented that first pop-up! You'll have great memories with your family. Keep a journal, and update it every day you have the camper on the road somewhere.

My wife does this for every trip, although she now does it on our I-pad so she can also take photos of each campsite, and if we do any activities, she attaches those photos to that day's log. I take the photos from our Iphones, the Ipad, and our digital camera and pull them off and keep a record on my laptop computer when we get back home. All my digital photos are back-up on 2 different external hard drives.


But she's been doing the journal for a long time now, and it's amazing to go back and read form several years ago! How times change and your attitude and thoughts change.

I see you're from Indiana! Just curious? Where? I kind of like to keep an unofficial mental memory of where my fellow Hoosiers are located. When they they make posts on here, it helps, especially when discussing campgrounds, weather, and places to purchase "things" or services. So, where you located? (geographical region?)

My signature tells were I'm at. Yea, draw a triangle between those 3 cities on the map, and put a dot right in the middle, and that's pretty close!

Welcome Indianaman from the left coast.
When we traded in our popup trailer on a travel trailer, I wrote up a checklist for the things I needed to remember on my specific trailer (using several online checklists as a starting point). I used it the first half dozen trips until it became routine.

Welcome to the forum! I live in Myrtle Beach (have for a dozen years!) and would welcome any questions you have about the area. Just PM me if you're interested. MB State Park is a great choice! There is so much to do in this area for kids of every age! When will you be in this area? That makes a difference as to what is open/closed. Just about everything is open by the end of March through the end of October. So many choices about where to eat too!

We moved here when we retired, but camped in the area for over 20 years before the move. Again, feel free to "pick my brain" if you're interested. Safe trip! Pam Hyatt

Welcome to the fun world of camping and to the Forum. May God give you many years of fun and safe travel.
