Hello from Texas

Hello and thanks for the welcome!

Hubby and I have been RVIng for 30+ years. Our first Jayco was a pop-up and then moved up to our first Jayco 5th wheel then owning 4 other brands until recently.

Hubby passed away two years ago and I sold the last 40 ft 5th wheel recently and bought a new to me 2017 Jayco Greyhawk 29MV.

It's been a learning curve for sure! I've tackled the outside stuff ( you know the men always took care of the outside and the women handled the inside) and have a good handle on that, but as a solo traveler I do need some experienced advice on other things along this new curve and appreciate in advance your wisdom and advice.

One major thing I'm researching and need your recommendations on is what type of tow vehicle to purchase. I want a small SUV type, automatic that I can tow four down and what type of towing set up do you recommend, Blue Ox is one. And do you recommend a TPMS for the coach and tow vehicle?

I'm sure I'll have more dumb questions along the way, so be gentle!!!

Sandy

Welcome from Wisconsin. Congrats and enjoy your 2017 Jayco Greyhawk 29MV. There is no such thing as a dumb question. Lots of friendly, knowledgeable and helpful people here to assist you. IMHO a TPMS for the coach and tow vehicle would be a good thing to have.

Congrats and welcome aboard from Northern Ontario.
As stated earlier, no such thing as a dumb question, especially in this forum.
I have a Class C, and one of my first purchases was a TPMS system, for the coach and the cargo trailer (motorcycle). Great piece of mind.
Have fun.
