Hi folks,
My wife and I just made the plunge into a new Cougar 21RBSWE. We pick it up this coming Saturday.
We're coming from a 1996 Tioga Montara 23D, which didn't see all that much use. Mainly because we like being in the boonies, and the Tioga made it hard to set up a base camp and drive off to where no RV should normally go (but we sometimes did:eek:).
We're hoping the new TT, towed by our 1/2 ton '08 Silverado (4x4 w/ HD towing package) will make it that much easier to do this. At least it sounds good in theory:rolleyes: ...
This is the first time we'll have pulled an RV instead of driving it, so I'm sure we'll have questions, observations, and reportable pucker moments.
The first things we plan to get for the unit will be a good hitch system...leaning towards a Hensley Cub (on special for a while) and a Honda 2KW portable generator. Any comments on either of those will be most welcome!! (tx). Hopefully most of the rest of start-out necessities will come from the old Tioga.
