First post.

Hopefully paying for it today, hoping to be proud new owners of a '16 white hawk 24mbh by the end of the day.

I have camped since I was a toddler with my parents, I sleep in a tent a lot for work, and its time to start passing the outdoors on to my kids who are 3 and 4. Time to start making memories!!

Need to start searching the site for stuff I need to buy for it right away.. Even though we won't be able to use it for a couple more months because of winter I want to be ready the first chance we get.

I guess I need to quit posting about my full timing, morning coffee, etc. Soooo, this morning I'm sitting here with 4 electric heaters running warming things up in here. It only got down to 34 overnight so my furnace never came on to keep a bit of heat in the underbelly area. When forecast to be below freezing for more than just a little bit and for only an hour of two I don't really worry about furnace heat, but when really cold I turn off all but one electric heater in the furnace thermostat area, set the thermostat at 60-63 and retreat to the bedroom area, close the door and enjoy a small ceramic heater to keep me all toasty. The furnace comes on when necessary and the pipes are happy. No problems with this procedure down to 8 degrees a couple of years ago.

Gonna be mid 60's today -

"Just make sure you have the right plug so you can run your generator with it, if needed. It is easy to make and save yourself $40." Thanks, we haven't dry camped, 'cause there's only two seasons here. Winter, and July 4th. We like CG's with full hookups if staying longer than a weekend.

Since my HTT is all bundled up for winter, DW and I are just picking up a few things we felt we need for our future trips. One of them being my newly arrived Camco Aluminum adjustable step. Got it for $81 Cdn off Amazon.ca, It's a steal IMO compared to what I see out there and the fact CW just advertized it on sale for $114 USD. Last Season we ended up with some significant distance between the bottom step and the ground, so we used a Plastic step...that is until it collapsed on me. Won't have that problem now. PS..It's still a great price for Cdn Campers :-)

Item Description: Camco 43676 Adjustable Height Aluminum Platform Step

Amazon.ca Link

Do not get that bike rack. Put it together and loaded 3 kids bikes on it. Got to the CG about 45 miles away and the "arms" were a bit saggy. I guess the weight of 3 bikes was too much for a 4 bike rack. I'm taking it back.

Took a small file and rounded the edges of the cheap keys that go to the outside storage doors on my Whitehawk. I then used graphic lock lube on all my storage door locks. A world of difference! Before they were so hard to get the key in, I was afraid to lock them for fear I would never get them unlocked again. Now, the keys go in and turn easily even in the dark when I have to do it by feel.

Added some extra screws to the dinette wooden rails that holds up the top in the "bed" setup. There's only 2 on each side and 1 broke the other day while I sat on the center cushion to dig out the BBQ.
Really starting to not like the build quality of our Jayco.
