Starting my RV adventure with a 2015 Prime Time Tracer 3150 BHD

My wife and I took the plunge a bought our first travel trailer. Closed the deal and had 2 slide toppers and 2 deluxe maxx fans added. The unit will be delivered to Lake in Wood campground in Navron PA this April. Looking forward to some special times with family and friends. The forums have been extremely helpful to newbies like us and a big shout out to all who provide such valuable information.

Platokidd has me hoping the slide bottoms don't wear prematurely. Looked fine upon inspection.

I have a 2011 3150bhd and have had no issues with the slides. Just check the cables from time to time to ensure they stay in ajustment. It's a great travel trailer and I'm sure you and your family will love it. One thing you may consider is an upgraded matress or matress topper for a comfortable nights sleep if you haven't already. The outdoor kitchen amazing, I prefer that over the kitchen inside.

Without a kitchen slide, my guess would be you dont have the fabric bottom slide-out. Thus you should be fine! (good to keep a eye on it anyway)

That Tracer looks great

Steve Ide is who we worked with. Schaeffer's will keep the unit until early April delivery. We hope to have a early morning walk through on a Friday and then delivery that afternoon.

Welcome! The new Tracers look great inside & out!

We were new to camping last year & bought a used '11 Tracer 3150. We LOVE the floor plan for our family of 5 & it tows great with an affordable Equalizer 4 & entry-level Ram 2500. However, ASAP we added: Maxxis Tires, Dynasty Mattress Deluxe, Oxygenics shower head, (2) Deluxe MaxxFans, Progressive Industries PT30C electric protector, 30A Extension Cord, 50A to 30A pigtail, X-Chocks, Lynx Levelers, Insect Screens for vents, Valterra Reverse Flush Valve, Camco Water Filter, plus quality hoses, essential tools & safety gear. We stay at a lot state campgrounds, so we added a 45 gallon fresh water bladder & Barker 42 Gallon Waste Water Tote. IMO buying the gear we wanted up-front means we get to enjoy it longer...

Looking good RV'r type guy. What was the main reason you choose a two door?

Liked the aspect of the second door to the bathroom especially for the grandkids. Not sure about black and gray tank vents and if I should get the siphon 360 caps before it's delivered.
