Smile New to FR Tomorrow!

Greetings from New York. My name is Steve and I have a camping addiction. Together with my longtime girlfriend Jen, we spend all of our summer weekends traveling, either to our camp or a campground.

We are new to Forest River. Tomorrow we trade in our Keystone Hideout for a Salem Cruise Lite 272RBXL. We signed the deal close to a month ago at a regional RV show. We wanted something with more room and the 272's The walk-in bathroom was was the killer feature for us.

This forum has already been valuable source of information and I hope to be able to contribute back someday. Thanks for welcoming us into your group!

Welcome from Southern Illinois.

Do make the dealer answer every question until you have a firm understanding. Make sure you see everything worked in and out and most of all after the dealer is done showing you, go over it all by yourself, not in your mind, but by moving it in or out on your own. Should you need something clarified by the dealer have them show you again.

Do not let them lull you in to the "It's so easy" state of mind. Make them show you... I walked away having only heard about 80% of what was said.

Safe travels...
