New Member from Texas!
Howdy y'all!
New to the Forum but not to RVs. Over the years we've had a variety of vintage trailers and all were great. We had a 27 ft 2000 Rockwood Ultralight that we used for about 12 years. Sold it 3 years ago. We've been talking about getting another and finally made the move. I wanted something our Chevy Tahoe would pull (it has the trailering package with integral brake controller) and we pulled a rental travel trailer with it last year. So, we bought a Solaire Ultra 20RBS at the end of May. We've already been to New Mexico (Ruidoso) with it and it tows beautifully. It sure is good to get back to RVing and back on the road again camping out in our new cabin on wheels!

Well, we have had our adventures good and bad, that's for sure. The new trailers certainly have the bells and whistles, don't they? 
From what I have read so far, there are a lot folks who know a whole lot more than I do around here. Just learned some new things reading around here since joining.

Welcome from the countryside between Dallas and the Okie state line.
In what part of Texas do you live?

My wife's favorite restaurant! Her favorite dish is the Steak Fingers! 
Our second favorite (my favorite) is Weatherford Downtown Cafe.

Welcome from 2 miles north of the Weatherford courthouse! The Peach Festival is blocking the traffic downtown, so we're staying put today. Glad to have another Weatherford dweller on the forum.

We have to make our annual peach run to Weatherford soon - I read that with the rain we had that the peaches are delicious.

We're just on the west side of town off of South Bowie. We were just at the Peach Fest. Arrived about 8:15 and left about Noon. It was warm in the sun my really pleasent in the shade (a switch from previous years when it was crowding 100 before 11:00!). It does tie up traffic, though.

We loaded up at Peach Fest! Had a good crop but they were a bit greenish. They should be ripe in a couple of days. I was told they were a bit lower in price at the orchard west of town.

Thanks for the welcome! We got a bit side-tracked with Peach Fest in Weatherford, I'm afraid!
