New FR3 25DS 2015 Owner

Hello Forum Members, I am a brand new RVer, my folks RV'd (travel trailer), but I never have; my camping is 21 years of US Army field deployments, my RV was a M35A2 2 1/2 ton truck, sometimes a M577 when I was higher in rank. Retired Army, then worked for 22 more years in private sector; HAPPY to be retired completely, my Wife and I will hit road soon. I have been reading so many different RV forums of what to do and don't do, so feel read into the topic, but still itching to go; we are going to take a couple of 3 days trips to sort of warm up to the big 5 month trip this winter. We bought the FR3 25DS because it seemed to have all of comfort and functionality we wanted. We did experience an issue w/read bedroom slide (this forum helped) and got that repaired, looked at a lot of campgrounds (I am partial to Military CG) and will be fairly active on this portion of forum; I apologize up front, if I ask a dumb question, where I come from there is no such a thing, but I may surprise you....lol; feel free to send me an email, we are very excited to finally be retired and RVer's

1st man thank you for your service to this great nation! I want to extend to you that you will always have a place to sleep and a plate of food here at my home and my RV. It's the least we can do in honor of our service members and Vets. 2nd, congratulations on your RVFR3!!!

Welcome to retirement and RVs. What part of the states do you live in?

Welcome aboard fellow vet. We picked up our new 30DS last weekend so we can learn together.
Congratulations
