Newbie from Ohio

Just checking in to introduce myself.
This morning I took possession of a new 2017 passport 239ml. This is not our first camper but it is our first travel trailer. Had a Starcraft pop up for the last 3 years and while I will say we had fun in it I'm not sad to see it go. Sold it and now on to the upgrade. I have a lot to learn when it comes to this tt. This thing has a lot to offer for the size and price and couldn't be happier with the decision. I'm open to comments with anybody who has experience with the 239ml or even the 238ml. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new trailer! Just an observation; your SUV is rated to carry the trailer I hope.

Welcome to the forum from Southern MD. I used to own a 238ML. Loved it and never had any issues with it. We just needed a little more space. Have fun.

Welcome! Our family of 4 love our 238ml. Perfect size for smaller campsites and comfortable for all of us. I can see that the bunks may be a little tight when the boys get older but that is a looong way off. Enjoy!

Yep that would be the one. I recommend to anybody looking for a new travel trailer to check them out. Great people to deal with

Yes, Holman is a great dealership. Have had good luck with them. Only issue we had is when we had some damage to our Hideout from another camper catching on fire was that they wouldn't send a tech out to look at it. They only will do service when units are towed in. It's kinda hard to tow in a unit like ours that's set up permanently.They did however refer us to a place that does on site services, which is a good thing because other dealers wouldn't probably do such a thing. Other than that our sales experience and parts department experiences are top notch.

We've also had a good experience with Colerain RV where we purchased our Class C. Colerain is also family owned and operated much like Holman.
