First RV purchase - VA

Good afternoon all,

Purchased my first RV a few weeks ago, Rockwood 2504s. Seems a lot of folks on here have spoken highly about that model, I did quite a bit of research on this site before purchasing, so thank for everyone's open communication. This site was a deciding factor in purchasing a Rockwood! I hope to be able to share positive experiences & not bad ones! haha....

My two kids are so excited I can't keep them out of it & we haven't even left the driveway yet! We live in the heavily congested Northern Va. so we are looking forward to "getting the hell outta here"...!!!!

Congratulations on the new FR. You will enjoy it, seems that the biggest memories on with the very first camper.

Me, not only would I be getting out of N. VA, I would stay out if I were you.

From another "not so crowded, VA"

Have Fun

Tomt996: I feel your pain my DW and I lived in Sterling,Va for 15 years. It was bad then and is worse now. My daughters family live in Leesburg but we come up the back roads when we visit. We live in Richmond area now and retired so traffic is not an issue anymore.

WELCOME to the forum.

Your kids will love their new found Wild-hood that you get while being out doors and away from it all
