New 365 (to me) in KS!

Hi all, been following the forum for several weeks but now that I took the plunge I thought it's time to register. Purchased a 2013 365 saq, moving up from a 32' TT

Welcome from Tennessee, and welcome to the 365 club.
If you haven't already, please familiarize yourself with the possible axle issues on the 365's. The ones with the 6000lb axes can have lower than desired cargo capacity.

And as someone else mentioned, we love pictures

Welcome from Georgia as well my friend!! As Helmsey said, check your weights and axles and read up on both the Sandpiper and Sierra forums. Especially these threads here http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...ght-29605.html

http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...saq-21486.html

PLEASE do NOT let these threads scare you. Congrats on purchasing the best floor plan available for those of us with kids! Just give them a read. Also, you will want 2nd A/C unit for the rig too if it doesn't have one. This rig is awesome to pull and we love ours more each time we use it!

Thanks! Yes I have read the weight thread (twice). I have a REALLY good deal on a very lightly used 2013 with all the options I wanted including 2nd air, but unfortunately the axles are 6K. I'm justify (at least for now) that our typical camping ground is within a 20 minute tow with only a handful of longer tows each yr. Should that change I can always do the upgrade, just couldn't pass up the savings over a new one. Ton of great threads on the 365!
