New RV'er and member from TX

Hello Y'all. My wife and I have been working towards getting an RV, even renting one for a recent Cowboys game. She surprised me over the weekend with the keys to a 26BH that we will be picking up in the next couple weeks. No time to get it right now, preparing for a new business venture has us both swamped. I have already been reading through a lot of the threads and learning a wealth of information. Thank you all for that. I just wanted to drop a note and introduce myself and look forward to learning everything I can.

Welcome aboard from King George VA.

The 26BH is a great size trailer to have and will go just about anywhere. Used to live in Wichita Falls area and saw alot of trailers like that everywhere we went. Wife's family is from the North Texas areas. Great camping areas up there especially around the many lakes...

Welcome. That was quite the surprise you received.

We have friends who live just east of Wimberley on a bluff overlooking the Blanco River. That is a really beautiful part of Texas. Lots of good camping country.

Thank you all! We love it in Wimberley. Sure does help to unwind after a long day in downtown Austin. The new business is a tasting room close to Wimberley in Driftwood. All Texas beers, wine, meads and ciders. If you're ever in the area, look us up.
