My husband and I are both in our early 60's. We decided to buy a travel trailer so that we can get away from the house and stress and have fun. We bought a 2006 Keystone Zeppelin II 242. We love the layout of it. We have a grandaughter that loves the bunks.

We purchased it from the original owners and I don't think they used it very much after the first few years. it is in excellent shape.

We have camped once or twice in the last 15 years so we are newbies.

We are very much looking forward to meeting new friends in our travels and of course grand new adventures .

Also getting to know our fellow keystone owners on this forum.

We live in Alabama,,,War Eagle


Any advice for newbies and the tt we purchased would be much appreciated,

It's good that you're having the bearings (and hopefully brakes) serviced. Another thing to check is the age of the tires. It is recommended to replace tires at 5 years, regardless of how much tread is left.

I would also sanitize the plumbing system.

And have fun!

Welcome to the forum from Southern MD. We are in our very late 50's, if you know what I mean. We love camping in our TT and the grandkids love it when they can come along too. Have fun. If you have any issues let us know.
