3rd times the charm
Hey y'all my wife and I just picked up our new to us rv today. We got a 2015 class C sun seeker 2500ts with just under 11k miles on it! We have been rv'ing now for about 6 years. Starting off with a big cheap pull behind then going to a 27' class c starter that we got a killer deal on and now thinking we know most all of the things we are looking for in a rv made a big jump up in quality (and price) to our Sunseeker. The lay out is just what we were looking for with so many nice easy features. I did a lot of research here before buying and I really appreciate all the info that's on here from everyone. We plan on having this one for a long time. We normally go on one trip a month. I'm a fire fighter and get 5 days off in a row every month and we go somewhere every kelly day I have. look forward to getting to know y'all and getting more great info.

Welcome to FRF from a retired California State firefighter/EMT.
yep, loved the Kelly for camping during weekdays so we could avoid the weekend crowds.

Yeah, I retired to Washington State and they've had less annual rainfall and have had two disastrous fire seasons in a row.
City depts. don't even have wildland PPE for their guys to go on strike teams and don't train on wildland.
But they're going have to wake up cause this is the future.
In California, even cities like San Francisco have equipped their stations with wildland gear and a number of them have wildland engines.

Toytec, welcome to the forum from a retired Florida firefighter. I am sure you will love your Sunseeker as we love our Forester.
As for wildland/brush fires, even though I was a city firefighter we had our share before all the development took over. I even got to be "Air Command" in a news helicopter on one occasion. Our last brush truck was a converted deuce and a half that we built ourselves.
