    First time out in the new TT

    Went out this weekend for the first time tin the new 2014 Avenger 27BBS and had two things go "wrong" but was able to resolve both. 1) Woke up Saturday morning and got a knock on the door telling me I had a leak. The leak was the hot water tank and it was far more than a leak, more like a...

    First Time Setup (Bikes and Car)

    Thought I'd share this photo. A lot of thought went into how to set this up and wanted to share with anyone who is also new to RV'ing and wants to bike and tow as we're also new to RV Camping. We took our third trip since we bought our FR3 30DS in October last year. We just went to Pine...

    First time out...

    Sitting around a campfire at the moment in the KOA in Erie, PA. Gorgeous night, a little chilly though! Got the furnace burning in the shamrock, keeping the sleeping kids warm. Such a great season! Sent from my SCH-I535 using Forest River Forums mobile app

    We picked up our first tt on April 14. Spent a month on the road after picking the trailer up in Ohio. And what a month it was; torrential rain, snow, record cold temps, severe storms, tornado warnings, 50+ mile an hour winds, the perfect first outing! Returned home to New Mexico on May 10...

    Today is clean day! I washed the roof for the first time.

    I used dawn dish washing soap - I probably didn't "have" to clean the roof, but I wanted to inspect the usual stuff - so I thought I might as well get after it. I didn't do a great job - but good enough for now. Before - after photos attached. I also cleaned out the black/grey tanks but I...
