Another New fam. Loving the 355mbqs!
Hello all!
After much talk, we pulled the trigger and jumped in head first into the RV world. Not much background with trailers, no truck, and never pulled much besides a boat; I decided to buy the 355mbqs! Love it. After a couple trips the local lake, I took it down south about 200 miles to Temecula. Bumper to bumper traffic, Steep grades and gusty winds made for a very fun drive but I DID IT! Can't wait to scour the forum and read over some of your guys helpful insights! Take care!

Thanks guys! My wife wanted something she would be really comfortable in and boy this 5er is nice inside. Super comfortable and spacious. I got lucky on the truck... It was really tough to find a good used f350.

My wife and I are looking at the same coach. I have a 2009 F350 LBCC as a tow vehicle. What hitch did you go with?
Also did you get the dinette in yours or the freestanding table?
We would love to see some pictures of the bunkhouse room for our kids. We havent' seen the rig in person and having trouble finding good photos online.
Thanks..

I have the Reese 16k hitch that slides Cus I have the short bed. Also, I have the dinette. I'll post some picture here in a couple of days of the inside. The bunkhouse room is awesome. Perfect for our 2 kids ( 7 year old girl and 3 y/o boy)

I'm reasonably still a newb myself, this forum is a very good place to get answers to all your questions. And there have been a LOT of questions!

Thanks guys...its awesome being part of such an awesome new world. I just realized that I need to build awesome memories for my kids and show them how awesome this country is. I want to let them experience God's good country. Its neat meeting a lot of you like minded people.
Taking a month trip to Oregon this summer and we are talking about a possible trip up to Alaska the following summer. Loving this forum. Hoping my contributions to the forum will suffice with only positivism.

I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures, especially of the room. Were about to pull the trigger and order one ourselves, just figuring out the options we want.
