Greetings, all, from a complete RV Newbie!!!

All,

After about 10 years of deliberation, I've pulled the trigger and purchased my first fifth-wheel; a PrimeTime Crusader 294RLT. Super excited to do my pre-delivery inspection and pick it up next week!!!

While I've hauled horses and horse trailers for the better part of 30 years, I am completely new to the RV world, so the information provided on this forum was invaluable in helping me make a purchase decision and helping me figure out what to do next. I am sure I will have a lot of questions, so thanks in advance to everybody for your patience and assistance!

Wait, your FIRST RV is a 5th wheeler? No, no no!!

You're supposed to go tent, pop-up, small travel trailer, mid-sized travel trailer, large travel trailer...THEN the 5th wheeler!

Silly rabbit!! ;-)

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome! I have already done countless searches on this site to take advantage of the collective "been there, done that" wisdom on just about everything...seriously...everything (best black tank chemicals, TPMS systems, blown tires, ice makers, sewer hoses, crock pot recipes.....) So thankful to have such an amazing resource. What did we all do before the internet?????
