Hello from Arkansas

Picked up a 2018 Silverback 29ik on Monday. First shakedown starts tomorrow at White River State Park for 3 days. Then next week 4 days in Eureka Springs GA.

We had a bumper pull, but this the the first fiver. Looking forward to the learning curve. [emoji1]

Welcome aboard. I'm already envious, as you are up in some of the best camping areas already. My family (except for me) are all from Johnson County, Arkansas.

We live close by and have camped there a hundred times. If you have any problems, don't hesitate to PM or email us. I don't know if you've ever backed a 5er or not, but it's easy. For everybody else but me. I'm just barely getting to where I can back up without it turning into an observation/beer party.

Backed into my driveway. Tomorrow will be an adventure. Most concerned about hooking the hitch easily. Fiver is already on a slope. Have chocks and chocks, but ?????

Welcome from yet another Arkansan! We were at Bull Shoals White River SP a couple of weeks ago. Lots to see up there. Should be a little cooler now. Happy Camping ⛺️!

Love this park. We live about 10 minutes away, but needed a shakedown trip.

Have only found four minor issues. Seems to be fairly well built[emoji1]
