My First RV

After a rough couple of years I decided to get a toyhauler so I can get away from it all. 2019 Octane SL 209. Plenty of room for my motorcycle! I'm completely new to rving but have been reading up on some of the forums.

Congratulations on the Octane and welcome to the forum.

If you search this forum, you'll find that some folks use a cover and some don't. Of those that do use a cover, not all of them use the same brand.

Ahhhh... such is life and opinions on the internet.

Congrats and welcome to the family. Good looking unit!! I'm sure you will enjoy it and have a great time learning about it.



Any big plans with it yet either from a modification perspective or from a trip perspective?

Congrats! There will be a learning curve and probably some nerves when you're first starting out. My advice would be take it slow, give yourself plenty of extra time to travel so you get to your destination with plenty of sunlight to get set-up and make a check list of things to do before you leave on a trip things to do when you're preparing to return home.
