New Member - Nevada
New to owners forum and already picked up some good ideas for our 2019 beast, aka Hummingbird 17RK. We took a couple of practice runs and then did a Nevada Loop from Reno south then east then north and back west to Reno staying in Nevada state parks.
Trip was almost 2 weeks and wife and I are still married. Her relaxation method was watching me hit my head on the awing supports. She got such a laugh out of that.
It's small but we can get in places where the big boys can't. Have a Zamp 140w suitcase and an extra 12v AGM that I hook up in parallel. Replaced regular TV with larger 12v and it's sweet.
Happy Campers poo product also helped save our marriage also in the Nevada heat

If you survived 2 weeks in your 17RK then congrats, your marriage is solid as a rock. DW and I are good for 7 days and then it's back to our 3000 sq ft house where we can spread out.
