new to owning a camper

Hi to all,

My name is Ben. My wife and I have three children. We recently bought a 2013 Rockwood Premier to use instead of tent camping. We've taken it out a few times and so far it's pretty awesome. Just wanted to say hi to everyone. My wife is registered on the forums and we post questions from time to time.

thx,

Sincerely,

Ben Hardy

Welcome, we are of the mind that anything beats sleeping on the ground. We have both tent camped in the past, the wife camped at the arctic circle once, but as we age that is no longer and option for us. Enjoy!

Welcome to the forum. We started out tent camping, then moved up to a PUP after we decided we were getting too old too sleep on the ground. We have now progressed up to a travel trailer. Enjoy your PUP and make memories.

Hi and welcome to the forums. Tent camping is great especially as a kid but having a RV can be even better. Nice looking Rockwood!

We only have a pop up but will really be great to be off the ground and have all the comforts of home and our kayaks will fit on top of the camper, much easier than putting them on the truck or the car.

Welcome! We too went from the tent, to popup, and now travel trailer. We camped in our PUP for about 8 years. I miss it at times.

Congrats on your new trailer! We went from tents to motorhome to travel trailer and now to pop up. Haha I dont anticipate anymore changes. Your pop up looks big enough to keep you happy for many many years!

Welcome! We just joined as well. We started eight years ago with a jayco 12ft tent trailer and we loved it, we moved up to a zinger 31qb with three kids they loved there own bed and we just moved into a surveyor sv-305 just over a week ago. Happy camping!
