New owner in SE Michigan
We just signed the papers on a 26' Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf (26DBH)
We have 4 kids and two dogs that will be coming with us. We picked it up to be able to get away and bring out 4 legged family members. (2 dogs)
Kids range from 2-13 yo. Decided on new based on price and warranty. I heard you can write off the interest on the loan as a second home too!
Towing with a 2500HD Silverado. Have boated extensively in the past, so hopefully my experience there will help be prepared for these adventures.
Registered here to be able to ask Q's and get some good tips!
I was at the dealer yesterday taking measurements but my phone was charging so I will post some pictures later.

Welcome from suburban starvation lake,mi! I was just at the plant in Topeka where they make the grey wolf on last monday. They build 31 units per day there.There was one guy on a fork truck and all he did was take units off the end of the line and spot them (somewhere) in what looked like a 30a field of trailers!

WolfWhistle you are correct. Snow showers now and I am waiting to get the trailer delivered but my yard is so wet / frozen. I think I will leave her at the dealer for a few more weeks.
I have everything to outfit her in my shed just waiting to get it organized! The wife is sending me links to all these local campgrounds already!

NoviBill
I hear there is an RV show in Novi this weekend. I was thinking about going but since I already bought one and I picked up most everything I think I need I would just go and spend more money!!

Dr-G, I will be going to the RV show tonight. I am not buying, just looking for some concepts to turn into mods for my 2006 (great shape, not all the features of a 2016).
