I'm glad you purchased. Didn't want to be the only one to commit financial disaster...

**Dmetcalf** · 08-12-2017, 07:21 PM

Looking forward to seeing a couple pics of it. We're actually using our RV now. We took it with the RT down into an area in Texas called the Hill Country and we're having a blast ..! I uploaded some pics on my album.

Congrats Bob. I hope you have years and years of enjoyment with it and your new Spyder.

I'm going to have to talk with you about some truly "Newbie" stuff

At some point: the Missus and I will have to actually go someplace in the thing...

...And she has NEVER camped a day in her life!

She'll love it. Did the dealer do a walk through with you? They should have explained and demonstrated every system.

One tip. Your gray, fresh water tank and black tank gages will be accurate only once.. well the fresh and grey will be a little better then the black tank. TP and other "stuff" will get stuck on the sensor and will read full even after you dump the tank. Always use lots of water when flushing. Water is your friend. Only dump black tank when it's full. Do not hook up to a full hook up site and leave your black tank valve open. You will develop the dreaded poop pyramid.

Rv.net is a good sorce for info on RV systems.

Good for you, Bob!! Hope you rack up many miles and memories. Oh, and by the way, it ain't real without pics!

There's been no official "Walk-Through" yet; we'll get that when we actually pick it up.

This is all VERU useful info for us!

Hi Bob,

Re: ...And she has NEVER camped a day in her life!

Have a lot of fun with it. However, travelling/sleeping in a motorhome is NOT camping.

We're calling it "Glamping"!

I'm sure that the origin of the term in self-evident!

**Explorer** · 08-13-2017, 12:00 PM

Get an atlas from Walmart with the address of all the stores.
Get a booklet from FLYING-J truck stops with all of their locations.
I full timed in a mh for the first 10 years of my retirement.
Good luck,
Roger

I'm aware of the Wal-Mart parking lots...

Question: Is it considered "Bad Form", to pump your Black and Gray water tanks; into one of their dumpsters?

**JerryB** · 08-13-2017, 12:33 PM

Hi Bob,

Re: Is it considered "Bad Form", to pump your Black and Gray water tanks; into one of their dumpsters?

IMO only if you get caught. If you get caught here in Oregon, my son is a criminal defense attorney.

Bob,

Anything less that a 5 star (hotel rating) is considered camping, in my book. You call it anything you want.

Well I guess I've camped all my life as I've yet to sleep in a 5 star rated hotel.

..

But I agree, was defines camping to one, is different than what you and me consider camping.
As long as you enjoy yourself, it really doesn't matter.

**ARtraveler** · 08-13-2017, 04:00 PM

Have to admit, I have liked the 5 star stuff in both Vegas and Hawaii. But alas, it is not an always situation for me.

Oh I'm sure I'd enjoy it. Just haven't been anywhere that I would consider 5 star worthy. Plus I'm cheap.

Bob, I hope you were joking. That would ruin it for everyone. Also I doubt that you have a pump on your holding tanks. Dumping and water and propane refill is what Flying-J is for.
