New Trailer

Hello fellow RV'ers! Just bought our second trailer after learning the hard way how to properly maintain an rv. Look forward to advice, pitfalls, do's & don'ts.

Congratulations! Watch for information for our next Florida FROG Rally. It will be held the last weekend in September at Williston Crossings RV Resort in Williston, FL. I will start to get the word out sometime in April or May, so stay tuned.

Congrats on your new RV. My BIL had to write off a trailer last year because he apparently never did any maintenance on the roof. He just didn't know any better and he's not very handy. Being handy and knowing what to do will help keep the unit in good condition. You'll get lots of advice here. There are a ton of decent videos on YouTube as well. I subscribe to YouTube channels by "Love Your RV", "RVgeeks", "RV Project", and "RVwithTito" to name a few.
