Welcome to the FRF. Buying an RV is very exciting for sure. Just ask if you have any questions. There 's lots & lots of good information here on the site - plenty of good reading.

Take care.

Any recommended items that I should plan to get along with the camper?

I appreciate all of the welcomes.

We will be getting either a Flagstaff or Rockwood 233s. I am trying to make sure we have what we need when we pick the trailer up. I have purchased a brake controller, cipa towing mirror slip ons, wheel chocks and plan to get a WDH with sway control.

Thanks,
Jimmy

Hello from the best and west side of the metroplex

You might try the Ocean Canyon Properties sites. Our RV dealer gave us a free pass to try them and we went and signed up at their Glen Rose, Texas site (Tres Rios)

Welcome

Hello from Flower Mound! I would say 90% of what I know about our TT I've learned from this forum. I'd like to get more info on the NTCA, is there a website?

Welcome, there are lots of 233S owners here, both Roo and Shamrock.
you'll find better prices, nationwide, on the Roo since there are way more Roo dealers than Shamrock.
nothing different between the brands, other than outside graphics and interior decor.

many satisfied owners of the 233S here that are willing to help you.

Welcome to the North Texas Camping Association (NTXCA). We're a group of families from the North Texas area that enjoys camping. Our group started in January 2000.

The purpose of the association is to provide the opportunity for family focused camping through group campouts approximately every month in various Texas State Parks, Corps of Engineer Parks, City Parks and private campgrounds.

There are no fees or requirements for membership other than Internet access and a willingness to drive to campouts within 200 miles of the DFW area.

Visit our previous NTXCA website for more pictures and past history of our club: ntxca.com at directNIC
