Greetings from snowy and cold Medina, Ohio

Hi everyone. Nice to be a member of this forum and I thanks to the admin and others who dedicate their time to providing we enthusiasts with a place to shoot the bull and gather some great info.

Looks like I will be signing on a 2015 Shamrock (or Roo) 23ikss today at the Cleveland RV show. Been looking at it for a while and find decent pricing at the winter show.

Grew up RVing with parents and some tent camping with family when the kids were young. Not much last 20+ years besides being a Boy Scout leader which ended about 10 years ago. Retired now and about to hit the road and revisit all the national parks, etc. that I remember. (I just hope they have not been too overrun). Getting the HTT to keep things a little lower profile with the hopes to still be able to camp under the trees and not in the parking lots. Figured this trailer is a good compromise.

TV is a 2010 F150 Super Crew 5.4L with all the towing packages. Rated at 9800# so this trailer fits my goal of keeping towed weight well under 75% of capacity.

Good morning from SW Idaho.

All we got is some freezing rain this AM, IMHO snow would be a little better.

I just ordered the 23 IKSS today at the Cleveland RV show. Ordered some options so they have to build it with delivery set for about April which is fine with me.

I'll post on the forum when I take my first trip.
