New to travel trailers
Hello everyone! I am very new to this long term family fun investment! I grew up camping and eventually staying in rentals. I miss the outdoors! So before my kids get too old, I want create some memories. And what better way than hooking up to my new Flagstaff and hitting the road! I hope to learn/gain as much info from this forum as I can. And I promise I won't bother with tons of questions. Heck, I've already learned several things today just by browsing. I pick up my V-Lite tomorrow...so excited! Not only is this an investment for my kids, but for my wife and myself. It was a tough choice but I believe we found a happy medium. Once I get settled, I will try and post updates and pictures as I go along in hopes to help others. Thanks in advance for the warm welcome!!! Jason

No, don't promise that. We want you to bother us with tons of questions. This forum thrives on helping each other out. If you've got a question, feel free to ask away, we won't consider it a bother. If anything, we welcome questions, as they give us yet another thing to discuss, another problem to try to solve, etc..

Welcome!!!
I feel the same way! We only have a few good years left before they get summer jobs and drive!
I have young teens and this morning I was thinking, when we tour colleges we can turn it into a vacation and take the motorhome!

Welcome to the forum from just east of Toronto. If you're picking up your new V-Lite tomorrow, download this PDI checklist and make sure you go over everything in the new trailer and have the big stuff fixed BEFORE you sign off and hand over your money.

Welcome! Don't be afraid to ask questions. I always learn something from people asking questions even if it doesn't apply to my unit. It's learned knowledge I may be able to pass on to someone else. At my age I just need to keep my brain stimulated so ask away!
