Hello from Indiana

Bought my first travel trailer this week.
2017 Wildwood 261BHXL
Headed to General Butler State Park in Kentucky for 4 days.

I'm a little nervous, as the dealer left the unit winterized, and I plan to de-winterize onsite.

Enjoyed 4 days @ General Butler in Kentucky.
Had a few problems...
Rear stabilizer jack motor quit and I couldn't find a hand crank...
And
I noticed water pooled up and trapped underneath... something must be leaking!

Also.. 6 gallons of hot water isn't much! Lol

Welcome to the forum from the State of Missouri. I had a 6 gal. hot water heater in my old TT and seemed like I almost never ran out of hot water. You might want to check the temp. of the water and maybe you could turn it up slightly. With water pressure and water saver on the shower head it seem like my hot water heater could keep up with the demand. I have a different RV now and haven't tried the hot water heater yet.
Good luck with your RV and I hope any problems you find will be small ones.
