Hello from VA!

Purchased our first TT yesterday, a 2014 Avenger 32 BHS. We will take delivery on 4/26. Lots to learn, but looking forward to family time and making many memories with the kids. Advice for "freshman RV'ers" welcomed! We've enjoyed reading this site prior to our purchase, and look forward becoming FROGS!

Welcome to the forum from eastern Va, first time camper myself, tons of help on the forum. Their info is better than the PDI you will have when you take delivery.

Glad to have another camper front NC right on the VA border. You will find it is the best way to vacation. Check our Kerr lake, North Bend, County Line, or Satterwhite campgrounds.
We like Lake Winds at Myrtle Beach it is a Christian owned csmp.
