Hello, I've been a lurker for awhile & decided to register finally. I am married, have two children & live in northern IL.
We used to be popup campers for many years & last spring we decided to see if our Coleman popup would sell. It did. We looked around and finally decided to change to a travel trailer. Last June we bought a 2012 Passport 2650BH and took it to the Black Hills & Badlands for two weeks to "break it in".
The trip was trouble free & we had a lot of fun.
We are looking forward to learning about new things & sharing camping stories with you. Thanks for reading through this long post. :rolleyes:

It's always nice when your first trip is both enjoyable and trouble-free. Glad that you decided to stop lurking and join in. :thumbsup: Welcome to the group, Andy and Iacie.

What a fantastic maiden voyage! I love that bunkhouse setup. We have two little ones and plan to get lots more use out of it.

Welcome from a fellow Illinois resident. We reside in the southern half of Illinois about 45 mins out of St Louis. Congrats on the new camper we just traded in our Jayco Eagel BH for a CougarRES327. We love the room we have now and the kids are grown up and moving in their own direction so it's just me and the DW . Looking forward to the year we are planning on getting out and exploring.

Also from Illinois central part. Illinois is funny for camping times in the summer it was so hot we had to sit inside, six minths later you would freese to death. Oh and all our governors go to jail
