Hello from central Texas

First camper was a Coleman popup in 1978 which I kept about a year. Today left the dealership with a 2017 Wildwood X-lite 171 RBXL. Didn't want to pull a battleship across the USA. Not that there's anything wrong with large travel trailers. Just not for me. Looking forward to first trip.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on your new Wildwood X-Lite trailer too! Sounds like you made the right choice for you. Please do keep us inform on the first trip out goes. I'm sure all will be good.

Hello from Florida, we're newbies too, we pick up our class C tomorrow. Our friends have a wildwood x lite too and they love it. They pull it with an Acura SUV no problems. Congrats!

Welcome from upstate NY, we went from tents to a pop-up and now a very comfortable 5'er. Glad you found the right RV for you, enjoy!! We'll see you on the road. God Bless.

Welcome, also from central Texas. I pull a monster bumper-pull at 35'. My excuse is I originally needed it for space to do dialysis. Since the kidney transplant I just like the extra room! I'm sure you will be able to get your Wildwood a lot of places my Windjammer won't go. I have put at least 25,000 miles on it since September of 2014. Lots more miles to go.

I've found tons of useful information AND helpful people on the forums. Hopefully you will too.
