Greeting from Washington State

Hello all, I just join so I want to introduce myself. My name is George and my wife name is Shelia and we are in the process on getting a 2016 Wildcat Maxx T29RLX TT and hopefully we will have it in a few days. I'm a retired military with twenty-eight years in the Army so now my wife and I pastor a awesome church.


This will be ours first camper and are looking forward on getting so tips and tricks to make things a little easier for us. I've being wanting a camper for about 20+ years but it just wasn't time but now it is. I love the fact that when the wife and I get burn out from pastoring or just need to get away we can go camping for a few days in the camper.

Thank you for having me here and I love to here some do's and don't.

Welcome from north central Florida! We love camping, but it seems we are so busy we just can't make it out as often as we would like. I hope you can get away to refresh often.

That's a really nice trailer. And nice size, too. If they offer it, you should certainly consider upgrading to 50AMP and a second AC unit. You'll be happy you did. Good luck and have a blast!

I think that it is a 50 amp I will check with the dealer when I go back to pick it up and the second AC.

In this area (meaning Washington, Oregon and BC), just pick an area you would like to see and plan your trip. We can help with campgrounds, and things to see once you pick an area. There are soooo many great areas - Whidbey, the Peninsula, Baker, North Cascades, Rainier, the coast and the list goes on, that are reachable for short trips from your location.

Thank you all for your welcome, I'm getting closer on picking it up but now I'm trying to find a place to store it when I'm not using it. I'm a retired military and my name is on their list but until then I need to find a place.
