Hi. I just purchased my very first TT. My family and I have been camping for 10 plus years with kids and 20 plus years before kids. We finally got tired of tent camping and dealing with unexpected changes in weather so we decided to get a TT. We purchased a Cherokee Grey Wolf 26DBH. We were...

Hey Group, Glad to be on board here. My Wife and I retired last year and finally have time to enjoy life TOGETHER. We are VERY grateful. So, we are now going to enjoy life in an RV. We have both camped before but not in a travel trailer. So much to learn. So, that said, if I ask a stupid...

Hey all, I don't currently own an rv, and I am here to educate myself a bit before I pull the trigger and make a purchase. I have to say, I'm pretty tired of tent camping - particularly in the winter - and am excited to learn from those of you with more experience. I look forward to meeting...

I've always had a deep passion for the outdoors and tent-camping as a child and bachelor. But now with a young family (wife, toddler and 3 mo. old), I want to make some new family memories hitting the road and exploring all that we can. Never owned a truck or trailer but I've done as much...

I am in SC, for goodness sake!! And it is supposed to get down to 18 degrees tonite. In case it doesn't show in the thread, the camper is a cherokee grey wolf '21 26 dbh. It has a faucet in the outdoor kitchen(which I figure the furnace running and keeping the cabinet doors open will keep it...

What an amazing site to help me learn what I'm getting into since purchasing a previously loved 2003 Roo Hybrid M232. We've backyard camped a couple times. Very thankful for the furnace with temps in the lower 30's. And mattress heaters are amazing! I look forward to our first real trip once...
