    @7-3ford We are new to the RVing and any tips/tricks are welcome. We have a new TT in our driveway but don’t want to take it out until we get a WDH. We are hoping to afford one by Memorial Day weekend. So many things to buy now for the TT. :)

        That is one sweet setup John. :) WDH I think is Weight Distributing Hitch used for bumper pulls. Helps even out the load between truck and trailer.

      • Andrea B. replied 10 months, 1 week ago

        Beautiful 5th wheel, John! You have a lot of nice accessories to it too. I didn’t realize that you can buy security systems for them. We have to buy a WDH, a power surge protector, water regulator, mirror extensions for our tow vehicle and a vent protector just to name a few. Whew!

              Yes…we are looking for a weight distribution hitch now. Hoping to get one soon.

      Hi Andera, A weight distribution hitch is a good purchace for someone with a tagalong camper. We have a 32′ Terry Resort “Tail Dragger” and a WDH helps out tremendosly!! I just love hauling a “Long-Long Trailer” down a steep, long, and curvey road down a mountain that seames to never end.
      Good luck………Happy Trails!!!

      • Andrea B. replied 10 months, 1 week ago

        LOL! That’s why we want to wait to take the TT anywhere….gotta get a WDH first. It will probably be awhile before we even get the courage to drive it out of state into the mountains. :) Your 32 foot is twice as long as ours. Ha ha.

      • Andrea B. replied 10 months, 1 week ago

        Nope…..No where near Wyoming.. :) One of these days though we’ll do the big American Dream trip around the Country. That’s the plan anyway.

          I like Florida in the winter, We are north of you now in Hatteras N.C.

          • Andrea B. replied 10 months, 1 week ago

            You are a long way from home….. exactly what I want to be doing. LOL! The Carolinas are beautiful, although I haven’t been to their coastline before. We’ve got friends outside of Asheville.

      Can you go back to the dealer you bought the tt from and bat your eyes and get a decent deal?

      • Andrea B. replied 10 months, 1 week ago

        LOL….They don’t sell them. We actually bought it from a liquidator camper place and got a really good deal. Still though we put out a lot of money so we now have to shop for a good deal on one. Can’t wait. We’re thinking that our maiden voyage will be to Fort Wilderness at Disney. Not going to the theme park though….just going to stay…[Read more]

          • Andrea B. replied 10 months, 1 week ago

              All I could think was why is it so important to have a washer dryer. lol …When we bought our class a in Oct wife was adamant that the coach have washer dryer combo in it. I kept thinking omg tv is more important. After our first trip in it on the way back home wife sat in co pilot chair said you can thank me later. I asked what for and she said…[Read more]

      Hope you have a great time at Fort Wilderness! We went way back in 2000 when are kids were still young. It was great and much less expensive then their Hotels!

      • Andrea B. replied 10 months, 1 week ago

        I have heard that their campgrounds are phenomenal. And it’s only an hour and a half away from home so we won’t have to go very far for our 1st excursion in the TT.

          Eddie & Aileen replied 10 months, 1 week ago

          Hay Andera, on the WDH issue we ordered ours from Camping World. You could get it shiped in if none in your area. As for seting up the hitch you normaly get good instructions and your the person using it so learning now is a good thing, not later. The bigest thing is not to over tighten your chaines and thghten thelm evenly. Ounce you figure if…[Read more]

          • Andrea B. replied 10 months, 1 week ago

            Oh….we’ll have to check Camping World out. Thanks for the heads up. There is a CW an hour away from us so we’ll check them out.
