Hello from the Evergreen State (NW Corner).
I am a long time RV Camper starting when I was a kid when trailers were tear-drop shaped and the hitch clamped to the bumper of our 1951 Ford.
My wife passed away last year from Pancreatic Cancer and I decided I'd hit the road whenever possible to see as much of the country as possible. We had a 1995 Terry 27' TT that served us well but earlier this month I replaced it with a Microlite 25BDS. Over the last couple weeks I've been sorting through all the gear that had accumulated in the old TT, tossing out what needed to go and adding what needed to be added.
Right now it seems like the rest of the world is visiting our this State so campgrounds are full so my first trips will be boondocking adventures but no matter. Extra battery installed and generator upgraded to a new 3500W inverter.
I look forward to following the various threads on this forum and reading what other Flagstaff owners have to say regarding their trailers, issues and solutions.

Welcome to the forum from upstate NY, sorry to hear of your loss of your life partner. I'm sure she would want you to keep enjoying this great country and seeing as much of it as you can. God Bless.

Packer fan, definitely. Also a rabid Seahawk fan. She was always "conflicted" when they played each other. Then she'd grin and say "either way I win" 
We did have some issues when either team played on Sunday at the same time as a NASCAR race. Needless to say, the race went on the DVR

Welcome from Bow! I hear you when you sort through the "stuff".
I did that when we upgraded to our FR251RKS.
I promise to "wave" when we see you.
