Hello everyone. My wife of 21 years and 2 kids (13 and 11) live in Indiana. Yesterday, brought home our 2016 Passport 2670BH. For the last 4 years we camped in a pop up. This trailer is the bomb. We mainly camp at the various state parks in Indiana. Look forward to maybe going further with this coach. I am pulling with a 2008 Tundra SR5 2wd 5.7 with tow package. From dealer to home was just over 100 miles. It road great. Can't wait to make many memories with this rig!!!! Look forward to looking around this site.

Welcome to the forum from Southern MD. Congrats on your new rig. I worked at NSWc Crane for a couple of years. IN is a beautiful state. Enjoy the new memories you'll make.

One suggestion: make sure you check your lug nuts for proper torque regularly. It takes a while before the lug nuts wear the paint off the contact points on steel wheels.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new trailer. Can only imagine what your children think about "upgrading" from a pop up to a hardshell, full service trailer. Probably feels like "glamping" to them (and you and your wife). I bought a new Bullet TT last year for my wife and much younger children as I knew a popup would be a bandaid solution for our camping future. Glad you're here and enjoy that new coach of yours.

I have the 3320 version. You will love it. Great camper and perfect for the family. FYI. Northern Mi isn't that far away and offers some great camping

You know...that's what I told my wife. We have gone as far as Warren Dunes on Lake MI but would like to go further north. Possibilities await!!!!

With your Passport, it would be very convenient and one heck of a family trip to head north to the shores of western Michigan, up through Traverse City, around Mackinaw, and maybe up to Tahquamenon Falls and Pictured Rocks. Don't want to sound like a "Pure Michigan" ad, but there is no excuse not to savor the sunset along a lighthouse on Lake Michigan, walk the horse drawn carriage streets of Mackinaw Island, and admire the sculpted and vibrant sandstone cliffs that make up Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Hoosiers are more than welcome. :)
