Hello from NC

Hello from North Carolina. Just recently upgraded from Puma tt to a Columbus fw. So far so good.

After the learning curve you will probably wonder why you did not go to a FW sooner (We are on our 2nd & hope to never go back to a TT) Personally the pull is so much easier,... but there is a learning curve esp. for backing......

Yes pulling it down the road is much smoother and stable.But backing is a little different.

Welcome to the forum from Wake Forest!! There are some great folks on this forum. Yep, 5er pulls smooth for sure and it does take some time figuring out how to back it up consistently. And don't forget to swing a little wider than you did with the TT

As with any tandem axle trailer be careful about putting high side loads on tires....lots of folks in campground say you can put it anywhere - I always try to get it rolling and follow it...I have seen folks just crank TV wheel hard over and back at near 90 degree angle to trailer...Hmmmmmm wonder if they are the ones on bad tire post....

welcome you have just made a lot of new friends who also think that camping is the best . Check out the page FROG - Forest River Owners Group for a list of upcoming rallys and such. But just remember not all are posted yet.
Congratulations and enjoy
