New youngin' Here!!!
Hi everyone!
I'm new to this forum but not new to camping (been camping with my parents since I was 6 months old), now I'm 21 and finally got a rig of my own.
It's a 2008 39BS.
Anyone else on here own one similar? I call her "Big Bertha" LOL.
Here are my pics! Thanks!

Congrats on your new rig! That is one BFT (Big Flippin Trailer)!

Nice camper. Enjoy. you should have plenty of space and storage and many years of enjoyment.
We just got a Wildwood LE 29BHBS, but it is only 34 ft 3 inches, two slides. Yours still has a many feet length on us, ENJOY it . At 21 you got lots of time to enjoy it. You started off big. We had a popup for many years went to a HTT, and now TT, its all fun.
Enjoy
Phil

Quite similar to mine Sport.... I hope you love it as much as we do!
I decided to take the pics I posted back down because really, this thread is about your new baby Ssport!

Welcome to the FRF. We are glad you found us.
Heck, when I was 21, I had quit camping with my parents because it wasn't cool. Got married when I was 30, drove through a campground one day with my new wife, got the bug again. We went out the next week and bought us a 19' Terry that served us well for 10 years. Luckily I remembered everything my dad taught me while we camped when I was a child. Made it easy to get back into it.
Enjoy your new rig. It will be the best thing you can do to get away from the rat race of the world.

This trailer will be staying at a seasonal site in the Poconos, so it will be being towed by a friend with a 2500 Dodge Diesel

Hello and welcome!
Ours is advertised as 42' long...so it's big as well.
It's also sitting on a seasonal space.
Enjoy!

I'm sure other manufacturers have brought out their versions of the park trailer concept - big as a park model but tow-capable and equiped with tanks and power slides - but when we bought our 401 there didn't seem to be anything else on the market like it. It drew great responses during the unavoidable walk-throughs by all our camping friends. And boy the room is impressive!
Yeah Ssport, we went seasonal a few years ago with much smaller trailers, just found it a lot more convenient and easy to camp every friggin weekend. And in Atlantic Canada, you need to take advantage of every opportunity during our three good weeks of summer

Yea I hear you on the seasonal camping. I was brought up seasonal camping and everyone at that campground is like family. I love it there and my site is right next to my parents and uncle. Can't go wrong.
Nothing like taking a nice drive, lighting the water heater, and making a mixed drink....lol

No, nothing like it at all. Not that there is anything wrong with hooking up and hitting the road to check out new vistas and enjoy new experiences. That is sweet too. I guess it's just a matter of how you get there.
