New RV users here!

Hello,

We just bought our first camper a 2016 Keystone Hideout 212LHS that we tow with our Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.0L Diesel Engine.

Totally new to this so don't mind my questions!

New RV users here!

Welcome to the forum!!

Congrats on your new purchase. New RV's can have lots of questions, do feel free to find the appropriate forum and ask away. BTW "campers" are carried in the bed of a truck, "Trailers" are towed.

Then why do we call a 39 foot 5er a "CAMPER"?

We pull our camper with a Durango - love having a trailer small enough to pull with something other than a truck but big enough to have the needed space! Have a great summer season.
