Hello to all from St. Louis. This bord is awesome. I have a hole 12 months of camping experience. Purchased a used TT last spring and now the wife and I are hooked. We traded the used one in and we pick-up our new V-Lite 30WIKSS this Saturday, 3/8/14.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new camper! 12 months, 12 years, the rv bug once it bites you, never goes away. Have fun and post pics.
Please take your time in the pick up demonstration before you take it home, ask them as many ?'s you can/need. Make sure everything works good.

Welcome to the forum from SC. This weekend will be my one year of ownership as well and we have definitely been bitten by the "bug".

Thanks. How does your F-150 pull ? I think our TT are close in weight. I am a bit concerned about my F-150 and this 7400 lbs trailer This trailer is 2100 lbs heavier than my last TT. I've read post that say their 1/2 ton pulls the trailer fine, but still a little worried.

Been camping for 40 years.
Safety first and always....
Plan out what where when and how.... always remember that nothing ever goes as planned, and that is usually half the fun of it.
Welcome to the forum from BoCoMo.

I have the Ecoboost in my F150 and my trailer is about 500 lbs (dry weight) lighter than what you posted. We have been from sea level to over 10,000 feet in Colorado without any towing issues so far. It is just the DW and I so we usually pack pretty light.

Welcome from Alabama. Like camping buddys said, do the walk thru, every RV is a little different, make sure you know how everything works. And yes even with a brand new unit things do go wrong or don't work right, just smile, be a happy camper and .
