Welcome and congrats!!!

Make sure you get a good wdh (weight distribution hitch), preferably one with integrated sway control. The Reese Dual Cam, Reese SC, and the Equal-I-Zer 4 way system are all very good for the price. Even though the dealer will set up the wdh, it is for an empty trailer. So once the tt is loaded up for a trip you may need to readjust the wdh before your first trip. Follow my signature links for a ton of wdh info if needed.

Enjoy the new rig!!!

Awesome! Thank you!
They were offering either a free hitch, sway, saddlebag, and brake controller hookup for free, or a 4000w Champion generator.
I opted for the free hitch hookup (Camping World)

I will soon. We completed the paperwork and are returning this weekend to have the hitch hooked up and to take delivery.
Surprisingly I was able to talk them down from 29,000 to 25,000 out the door. I was thoroughly surprised!

GregJames Camping is so much fun and the people that you meet are the best. You are going to enjoy your camping adventure. There are a lot of nice camping places just north of you. I would suggest that you get a break controller if you haven't already gotten one it can keep you and your vehicle from having an accident.

They will be installing that this weekend when we pick it up.

I live minutes from Lake Lanier, so it'll be simple to get a lake campsite and tie the boats up this summer! Can't wait. I'll even be able to stay longer and head to work from the site.

New in Georgia 28BHBE

Congrats on the camper and welcome. I've got the same camper on order. So what hitch setup are they throwing in? I'm sure you don't get a choice but the Blue Ox is a great choice and is easily adjustable for changes in load...

Is the first campout planned? We stay in Georgia every year on our way to Florida. This year I'm looking for a destination spot in Georgia.

Very nice, I would have loved a 27 or 28 foot camper but the TV couldn't handle it, but we do love ours. Also, welcome from a fellow Cumming resident. If your not familiar go to Forsyth County Parks and Rec site and register and you can reserve at Shady Grove on line. We live close by and go as often as we can between the longer trips, it is definitely a jewel in Forsyth County's crown!

Any idea what this hose is for and if it's supposed to be disconnected?

it is to draw antifreeze from gallon jugs into the pump for winterization and It usually stays there rolled up

Paintingfool3 is correct and if you live where your unit can freeze this little hose is your friend. Makes winterizing simple.

Yes all the valves look set for it to draw from fresh water tank right now . when you go to winterize you turn the valve from the fresh water tank cross ways to the line and open the antifreeze line by turning it parallel to line
