Newbie from East TN

Howdy,

The wife and I are new to rv'ing. We have not purchased one yet. For our first venture into the world of camping we have reduced our list to a Puma 25RS. We would like to hear from others what their experiences have been (good and bad).

Regards,

Frank

First trip go to Pine Mountain RV Park in Pigeon Forge to get familiar with your new toy. Then check in with the BamaGanza rally on the events calendar to see if you can get a cancellation spot in Gadsden, AL next month. Then hurry to the NC Mountain rally discussion also on the forum and sign up for the Mayberry Campground rally next May. By then you will be an old rv pro.
