Hello from NW LA (NEWBIE)

Wife and I just bought a Eagle HT 29.5BHDS and will pick it up Sat. Going to use a Andersen 3220 alum hitch, TV is a 2012 Ram 2500 CTD MCSB. Tired to fill out my sig but the site isn't letting me. Anyways, I'll be reading and asking questions as they come up. Hope to learn a ton... this is our first camper ever! See you all around.

Thanks all. A tad nervous to tow this thing. Never towed anything this big.

Don't worry...you can't do much worse than I did! Had my 377 for a week and hit the roof support at the storage facility. $7,500k later! Thank goodness for insurance and a $250 deductible! I can laugh about it now that the RV is fixed and looks like new!

Welcome! From Haughton, I see. I graduated from HHS way back in '81. I'm in NC now. I hope the flood didn't get to you.

Welcome to JOF! Don't forget to visit the Fifth Wheel section here, as well as the brand new Jayco Fifth Wheel group on Facebook!

Hello Btrow. wishing you great success with your new toy. I hope the water didn't harm you and your family "too bad".

Down south, we are soggy, but no need to swim ..... LOL .....
