New from MD...

Don't know why I took this long to sign up. I'm on my second travel trailer, a 2010 Outback 286FK, towed by a '94 3500 6.5 TD Chevy:



This replaced the previous rig, a 2008 Travel Star hybrid:



The outback is much more pleasant to set up, and easier to have the dogs with us in (more room for all of us)

Anyhow, I've had the Outback since new and it's been up to Saratoga Springs, NY and down to Charleston, SC a few times, as well as a lot of little trips around here locally. I'm hoping to learn a bit more about Outback specific repairs and maintenance, as well as some tips from other people with travel trailers on towing and tow rigs.

hi, I have been to Saratoga Springs to see a friend there a couple of times. You live in such a pretty area! (I love the McDonalds there). Glad you signed up. :-)

I only paid $2600 for the truck, needing a starter, front wiring harness (the PO had hacked up everything forward of the firewall), and brakes. I had it towed to my house where I replaced all that and now, about $500 later, it's towing all over the east coast. Just eats up the miles. I also had to hook up the turbo boost gauge and trans temp gauge that the PO had bought but never hooked up.

I am never around to find a deal like that
