Welcome from Huntsville, AL!
Since you are from Alabama, perhaps you will be interested in attending our Forest River Owner's Group Rally "BamaGanza '15" this October?

Welcome from north central Florida! We too went from a pop-up to a TT. Although we had not had one for about ten years, we decided to get back into camping. We thought about another pop-up, but at our age, we decided we wanted a bathroom and seperates bedroom. After we started looking we ended up looking at larger and larger TT's. Ended up with a rear living room so we could have some small recliners in addition to the couch. When we eventually retire we will go for several months at a time.
I hope you enjoy every minute of your travels!

I understand completely!! Our first outing this past weekend was a total change for me. We chose the bunks with the front bedroom for our kids to have room too. As for the size that's exactly what we done. We had the perfect one picked out on the web. We came home with one 6 feet longer and a slide. We are happy with the choice so far just need more time off work to enjoy it..
Thanks for sharing. Happy Camping!!

Welcome! We too upgraded from a pop-up to a TT, although our Roo is considerably smaller than yours.
You'll learn lots from this group. I have. Only downside is you may forget about leaving well enough alone and end up spending many hours and dollars on mods like I've done, thanks to the influence of these guys.

We just bought our 2016 Grey Wolf Limited 26RL
I tent camped while growing up and a few times as an adult. We are so excited to start this new season of life and camping. Love all of the encouraging comments above!
