Congrats on the retirement! It took me 2 years to not be depressed about not working after I made the call to retire. Lots of good folks to help with the learning curve....whatever they may be.

As you can see by my sig, I retired in 2008. Went back 1/2 time until 2010, then on a whim decided to work on RVs. Plan was 1 year only to pay for a S&W 500mag. I have the hand cannon and I’m still working 40+ hrs/week. LOL.

Sounds like a very full life. I certainly respect those who spent their career protecting others.

Welcome fellow newbie! I'm a retired military myself and the wife and I just picked up our new 2021 Cougar 25RES being pulled by our 2020 Chevy 2500 HD 6.6 gasser. So far we have been to 3 campsites and we are loving it.

Your upcoming questions will have more context if you put your tow vehicle year, make and model and the same for your camper in a signature. Top left of each page in black band is UserCP. Click and find signature and at the very bottom of that page you have to apply your new signature. Good luck with the new camper!
