Hello from sunny California
Hello to all,
Brand new here and thankful I have found this forum. Quick bio, I am married, two kids (10/12), and we are looking at getting our first travel trailer soon. Possibly a 2504s Rockwood. We live in Northern CA about 25 minutes from Sacramento and have been tent camping for some time but the boss (wifey) says we need some more comfort and more options in varied weather so taking the plunge. I look forward to reading posts and asking questions...if I ask too many just mute me for a while LOL.
Cheers,
Matt

Welcome to FRF, from a former resident of Napa and Sonoma Counties.
We drove to Chicago and back to get our Rockwood because of the much higher West Coast prices. Saved over $4500 even after trip costs.

Welcome and congrats with whatever you choose from a SF Bay Area resident that is currently on a long road trip in our Rockwood WJ. Back in CA for Christmas, currently staying in Manteca and it sure isn't sunny here either.
