Newbie - 1st TT purchase
Excited to pickup our first travel trailer in March. Starting to pickup random necessities on Amazon like hoses, H2O regulators, cables etc.
Hoping to find other 27BHWS owners to help troubleshoot and share solutions as we head out on the road this year for adventures.
Cheers to everyone here!

Congrats on your purchase and welcome!
The FR Forum is a great start to learning your way and picking up alot of good tips. I would suggest to just buy the necessities to start then as you get into camping more you'll learn what you need. Otherwise you can spend alot of money on things that aren't really necessary. Enjoy your new adventures!

Flagstaff is the brand. It was hard to find much info online about them, we actually stumbled upon Flagstaff at a RV show.
It is a new floor plan for them this year I believe. I'm really excited. It has the wardrobe slide in the bedroom which is one of the features why we went this route over similar brands without that benefit.

Flagstaff duplicated the Grand Design Imagine 2800bh floorplan with the exception of the master bedroom closet slide. That looks nice. Enjoy. Can't wait to start using ours.

Exactly. We actually were at the show to order a 2800 and kinda fell into this one. Dealer had both brands, but we liked the additional storage above the windows along the interior slide, the soundbar inside etc. - toss up for us. Fingers crossed for a successful experience with FR.

Good luck. We had a flagstaff before and the wife loved the front window.

Congratulations on your new TT. I agree, there wasn't much online about it and tried getting the DW to buy the Imagine last year, but convinced her with the Flagstaff. We love the interior colors better and have had great luck with our past forest river trailers. How'd the tow home go?

I'll have to get online with a computer... I've just been using the app and I don't see any of those files. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hasn't happened quite yet. We'll be picking it up at some point in March. I ordered the ProPride P3 hitch system and I'll have to install that myself after we do the PDI... I'll keep you posted how the maiden voyage shakes out [emoji1362]
