Hello from PA

New to the RV world. We bought a used 2010 Fuzion FZ 322 Touring Edition II back in June and it has been a learning experience so far. Right now we are trying to prep for our first snowbird trip to AZ.
Looking forward to learning more from the members here!

That's a pretty good haul from PA. Make sure your tires are up to it. When one of them goes they can take a lot of stuff with them.

I would suggest repacking your wheel bearings before you leave. Your might put a spare bearing set in your box of parts. I check my bearing and tire temperature at every stop with a digital pyrometer. Even with my diligence, I still had to replace a bearing along the road two years ago. It only take a couple of minutes to check the temperatures while I'm pumping gas.

We made that trip several years ago. Spent 3 months traveling through the south west. Take time to see the sights along the way.

Hopefully you've got plenty of tow vehicle? That 5er has a GVWR of 16560lbs which = 3800+lbs of pin weight plus the weight of the hitch along with everyone & everything else loaded into it.
Safe travels! If coming to AZ hope you have reservations somewhere, the snowbird migration has already begun & places are filling fast.

Thanks for the info. Just had 4 new 14 ply tires installed + a tire pressure monitor.

Traded in my Ram 2500 Hemi for a Ram 3500 Dually with the HO Cummins diesel. We have out spot all reserved for the winter, just south of Tucson.

Sounds like your good to go!
We've settled in a rv resort between Tucson & Phoenix, this is the perfect time weather wise to be here. Enjoy your stay!
