Good morning from NC

Howdy all. New to the forums. Been camping all my life but just bought a 2015 Microlite 25ft and Holy moly there is a lot more to this RV thing, so I hope you don't mind questions.

My wife and I decided to get into RVing to do something with our kids (daughter is 6 and son is 4) so we can all get out and see some country on weekends and during school breaks. Planning our first run this weekend to FT. Fisher in southern NC on the coast. Have already learned a lot of tips from browsing the forum and appreciate the knowledge here.

Good Morning Woody and welcome to the FR Forums! You will learn a lot here, but it will be like drinking from a fire hose! So much for a newbie to learn. Use the search function and ask questions. I'm heading to Harrisburg, NC today!

Welcome to the forums! Questions are always welcome so please do ask. During my PDI I couldn't help but think what did I get myself into? Once I got comfortable with the all new stuff it's really not so bad and well worth the training.

Feel free to share pictures if you want.

Thanks again all. Just installed the app on my note 3 so I would have access on the road. This is a very nice app for a forum. Going to be handy.
