Happy to make my first post to report that we have just finished our first camping trip in our first camper. I have been reading this forum for some time and found it very useful in making our first trip an overall success. The only setback was backing into a low hanging object and causing the first damage to our camper (a tear in the rubberized roofing membrane).
After some fretting I went back to the forum where I found some helpful information on rv roof repair. Fortunately the hole was just in the membrane and not through the sub-roof. I will get that fixed shortly and we are looking forward to our next trip.
