Howdy!

I literally just purchased my first camper, a '99 Jayco Eagle 243RKS 5th wheel. I will be using it as a temporary housing at some properties I purchased in Ky, Tn, and Va while I continue searching for the right farm location.

I know absolutely nothing about owning or maintaining a camper so I went to youtube and watched lots of videos. I also sought out a forum dedicated to that brand as typically members have lots of combined experiences and can provide point / counterpoint to a discussion.

Even after watching those videos I still have lots of questions which I will post those in the correct forum channel seeking input from the experts here. Hopefully I can contribute something as my knowledge and experience grow.

Welcome to the forum and aside from all the info you'll find here, there are many here who have been there and done that with their trailers. Good to have another member.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum. My wife and I are in the same boat never having owned a TT. Everyone on the forum has been great answering our constant questions. We have learned so much.
