Greetings All:
I like it when people post their questions first, so here goes. my introduction will follow:
Anyone mind sharing your lessons learned when taking delivery of their RV (GD in particular, but in general too)? This might not be the channel for this question, but it seemed like a good place to start. And, if there’s already a thread on this, I’d be grateful if you’d point me in that direction. I did several searches with no luck on the first 15 pages of each keyword I searched.
My wife and I live in Central, WA. We’re taking delivery of a 2022 Reflection 31MB on Wednesday (36’ FW w/mid-bunk). We have three kids (12, and twin 6 year olds) and a 6-month old bird dog with another (dog) on the way. Before Covid we bought an “inexpensive” bunkhouse w/no slides from one of the big manufacturers. We caught the bug and quickly outgrew that trailer. A lot of what we do is boondocking… fishing, hunting, picking berries & mushrooms, with two or three 7-14 day vacations in between. The littles just started skiing, and the new FW is gonna be our new ski-lodge-on-wheels for tired kids when mom and dad want to stay on the slopes. As the kids get better, we’ll start traveling to different resorts.
I’ve really enjoyed perusing the technical and mods threads. Thanks everyone for creating and contributing to this forum! It’s been a great resource so far and I’m excited see what we can do with this RV! I’m particularly interested in battery/inverter and potentially solar arrays. I’m also interested in hearing how other folks go about conserving their resources in order to extend the boondocking fun.
Thanks for reading this novel looking forward to getting to know some of you!
