First travel trailer and love it

Hello, just dropping in to say "hi" and introduce us. We bought a 26bh Grey Wolf travel trailer and love it. We bought it on 8-8-11 and was camping by the 12th. We owned a 1986 Rockwood pop-up for 5 years and pulled it from Texas to Kentucky every year. We loved it. I traded that camper for a 50 caliber muzzleloader and 250 bucks. It was a great deal because we had not used it in a while. No A/C in Texas is too much roughing it. We had never camped in a travel trailer, so we are still learning some of the right and wrongs. But we are doing it together. We were looking for a manuel and information on some items and that's how we found this fourum. You guys are great. I feel like I just pulled into camp and y'all ran out to help me back in. Look forward to some great conversations hints and help.

to the forum and congrats on your new tt.

Don't worry about the extra empty storage space. It fills up all by itself!
