Last fall, my wife and I got TT, and I've done a lot of reading here and online, and got a lot of information, fearing that if I didn't get this right, the family wouldn't be as interested as I was in making this work. Boy was I wrong!
Since we got started, the kids want to go out just about every weekend, and surprisingly, the Mrs does too :). So far, we already have 18 nights this session, with another 35 or so already reserved ๐
I made some mistakes, some expensive (TV weight, blah blah), but the family LOVES camping all over the place. Since we dewinterized it, more than 1/2 our weekends have been spent camping, including an 1800 mile trip around the NE over memorial day.
My wife's idea of roughing it is a fancy hotel, but she is really getting into the different cool things we can do for a lot less money than we would spend just for one week at the shore, so much so that I already traded my 32' 2006 Prowler for a 35' 2013 Forest River :). (Aside from being newer, much much better floor plan for us, and since we're really enjoying this, better to not have issues on the road, etc with an older unit, since there were some things I was already going to need to start working on... )
So for all the info you've shared, either directly with me or just posting and talking with others, it's really given me the info I've needed to really get a great family tradition started - Thanks!

Agreed, I call them mistakes when they happen (usually a lot fewer letters, usually only 3 or 4 ๐ ) but in retrospect they are good lessons - so far everything has been learned before the "oh cr@p!" moment ๐
I will definitely keep active here and appreciate all the time everyone takes to share with us newbies ๐
