I can't believe it! All this time spent researching, learning about weights, hitches, inverters, LP, and the like and I finally got my fiver! I got an Open Range 398RLS and it is nothing short of awesome! It pulls like a dream! Got it home and set up, practiced hitching, unhitching, levelling and finetuning a checklist I received from a poster on this site. I also made the Walmart run for organization. I anticipate many more trips there! The shakedown trip will be this weekend to a CG about an hour away with a Camping World, Lowes, Walmart, and Home Depot close by! I am so excited I can't stand it! Thanks to everyone here for all your posts! I have mostly been lurking, but learning nonetheless...Your advice has been incredible!

Congratulations, it is a good time of year to begin with a new camper. Good idea to practice at home, much better than a busy rv park on a holiday weekend. You will have to post pictures when you get a chance.
