Another (almost) Newbie

[Robbie D. Camper]

Hi all. We've recently purchased our first TT. It's a Grey Wolf 26 DBH. The reason I say we're "almost newbies" is that we've camped for the past 3 years using our son in law's pop-up. Both my wife and I have been lurking on this forum for about about month since initiating the purchase of our TT. We take delivery in a little under 2 weeks. What we have learned here is almost invaluable, and I want to say thanks to the community.

Now, there will be some specific threads I'll be posting to, most questions.

Off we go...

Welcome aboard:

The below is a copy and paste of useful information, and I usually recommend it to those just starting out. Some of it, you may already know, or may not be applicable to your particular RV. You will be able to filter out what pertains to your situation or not. I would suggest you read the electric threads and energy management first, and then the converter thread. This will help explain your different electrical systems of your RV, and how they operate...as well as what the converter does. The very first link will explain what operates off what system.

You can just peruse at your leisure as you get to know your RV:

Thank you, sir! We've been all over these forums absorbing information. The knowledge of the members here is truly amazing. I know that I've looked at some you've linked to and will be referring to them again. Thanks for putting them together. A little more than a week until we bring her home, but we might get more snow! Aaaaargh.
