Greetings all!
This is my first post (though I've been lurking about for almost six months so I already feel rather acquainted with the community).
My wife and I have talked about taking the dive into RVs for several years (you could say we're veterans of "roughing it") but were hesitant because of the significant investment required . . . until very recently!!!
We have had the fortunate opportunity to purchase a 1977 Holiday Rambler (27.5' I think) for a price that is obscene (in a good way) to "test the waters" so to speak. We took her on her maiden (to us) voyage this weekend with the kiddos (2 and 4) with great success, and I must say the whole family is hooked (as were a fish or two)!!
I must say thank you for the pages and pages of useful information imparted through the thousands of threads contained here!
As a parting gift (for this post at least), I present to you . . . "The Rig" ๐

Please read the post just above this one!
Ok I just learned how to post pics...we have done all the little mods that I can find on here. Here are just a few.. just cosmetic curtains, pillows, stuff that I could sew. We dont need anything BIG yet. So are there any suggestions on some cool cosmetic mods and where to get them?
I do monogramming at home and sewing too. So instead of having really crappy fabrics I have changed alot of the fabrics to really nice ones. I got a long ways to go though

Love how you used the diamond plate. I might have to do that with my TT.

GVWR is 6500
We figure fully loaded with our stuff is about 6,00 lbs.
Great trailer, great layout, easy to tow ๐
It does have low clearance, but we are looking into getting it lifted soon.

How much does your trailer weigh ready to go camping? I have read they are lighter and was considering one so I don't have to have a dedicated tow vehicle.4BeachCampers wrote:
