New meat for you to meet
Greetings and salutations all! New to rv'ing and towing, so naturally purchased a tow vehicle and a '20 Sandpiper. Apparently got hoodwinked on my PDI, and they just showed me how to extend the slides, and empty 1 of the 2 black/grey tanks. So I have a lot to learn. Good Sam support seems like a useless waste to me, and the forest river support "powered by saferide motor club" has been less than stellar.

I did a trial by fire since I bought the 5th wheel in Florida and traveled to Virginia, stopping overnight in Georgia, and then South Carolina. And now I have a whole list of stuff to figure out and or fix, and always a list of stuff I believe I need to purchase!

- Brian

We purchased our first rv in 2018.

They are really complicated beasts.

We are still discovering new stuff!

You gotta be handy,

Ups had a path beaten down to our door. We choose 90% well. 10% duds.

Go somewhere for a week with a nearby hardware store, rv sales place for parts, WiFi, Wallmart and Kroger. Plan on spending every other day doin stuff to the rv. You will get it. Eat and drink well.
