Hello from west Texas

Hello everyone,

Im Derek, I live out in the oil fields of west Texas and I am a natural gas engine and compressor mechanic. My wife and I have 2 young ones, Kyndall (5yo) and Hunter (7yo) my mom and dad started RV'ing and we went with them a few times and had a blast, thats how we ended up where we are (lol)-

we just purchased a '16 264BHW. I read a bunch on these forums and we decided on a Jayco. we just picked it up saturday in central Texas and camped our way back home. so far we love it. Im pulling it with a 06 ram 2500 with the 5.9. I look forward to reading, learning and hopfully helping when I can!!

Hello from another West Texan and welcome to JOF. Congratulations on your Jayco purchase. You know how much fun you had RV'ing with your parents and now you get to share the experience with your kids. Keep JOF bookmarked and check in and ask questions often. This forum and members have an abundance of knowledge and good ideas and I think you will enjoy it here.

Welcome to you and your family for a fellow Texan, down here in Houston. I am a turbomachinery control specialist and safety instrumented systems engineer so I know exactly what you do and how hard you work. My first job out of school was at Stewart and Stevensons Gas Turbine Division. I loved that job.

Anyway, hope you stick around. Lots of very knowledgeable people willing to share with the rest of us.

Hope you are having fun.
