Former backpackers so we are accustomed to the minimalist lifestyle, but totally new to TT. Just retired and picked up our new 171 at the end of Dec. It's winterized and parked now but planning maiden voyage of a couple weeks next month (western NC to Florida). I'm on pins and needles and hoping everything works. But we can roll with whatever. Your Forum is great, lots of good tips.

Start reading as you can literally spend days reading all the great posts, mods, places to camp, current and future events, and on and on it goes . . . . . .  Welcome to the group. Hope your 'shakedown' journey goes well.

Welcome. I'm one of them. It gets the family out there, when they otherwise wouldn't go.

Came from tenting to a tt (rpod) with nothing in between.   This group was/is great and since then the face book group has been added. Together the two forums are fantastic ... just like the fan...   Welcome to the group from Ontario.

Seems like we're the opposite...  I live in FL and vacation in western NC, bought some property up near Franklin a few years ago and want to put a cabin up there.

People at the beach want to see the mountains, people in the mountains want to see the beach.

Thanks all, for your warm welcome. I did not know there was a Facebook group, so I am learning things already. One thing I am surprised to find is that many RV campgrounds in what I consider to be the south (as in south of the Mason/Dixon) are closed in the winter. Oh well I am more than happy to dry camp.
