New to the forum and fifth wheeling

Hi everyone. We got a great deal on a 2013 Rockwood Signature Ultralite fifth wheel with the diamond package. The catch was it was in Maryland and we live in Louisiana. Can you say last minute road trip ten days before Christmas.

This forum was very informative during my research for a fifth wheel, and is helpful as I fine tune my new toy. I appreciate the experience and knowledge exhibited here and decided to join. The RV is still in my shop being petted on so I can't post a picture just yet.

Hey Bob,
Are there any issues particular to this model I need to be aware of?

I just picked up my 2015 Rockwood S/U/DP 8289WS Friday
and I also live in Louisiana.
Now those are wonderful coincidences.
Welcome, hope to see you in a nearby campsite
and I know you will enjoy the Camper!

Welcome, and ask away, as BamaBob says; there's lots of us with Rockwood Ultra Lites. We're going on our second year, and no issues so far.
