Howdy from GA

The Frost's here from north GA.
Finally got the DW in to camping less than a year ago with a cool Coleman pop-up. It was nice and we loved it. After a few great trips with the realization that popping up X3 for each trip and that sunny spots in the middle of summer were cutting in to the enjoyment, we went with a sporty Jayco Hybrid. It had all the amenities we were looking for, yet not too comfy for late fall camping and no insulation from noisy neighbors. So, we bit the bullet real hard and invested in a proper TV and signed for a new Flagstaff 832 BHIKWS yesterday. I can't imagine needing anything more, but that's what we thought before...
I've learned a lot here already, and since we are semi-official owners, it was time to join in the fun.
We've got 21 days already slotted from April through September and can't wait for the maiden voyage!
Thanks to all of you who post your learnings along the way. It's so helpful to have a resource of those who have 'been there, done that'!

Thanks! DW is from Wisco. We may have to plan a long drive to the Dells
I always joke that I can't wait to get back up there to smell the "dairy air"
Tough weekend coming up with Packers v. Falcons.

Was not familiar with that trailer model, so found a video on you tube. Very nice. Looks like something that should serve your needs for many years. What did you get to tow it with?

The BH gives us lots of room for extra kids, friend and family. Got a great deal on a gently used 2012 Silverado 2500HD gasser. Which is much better since I installed some running boards! Should be a good pairing.
