Post Brand new to RVing and first step to Retirement!

Hello all!

The wife "Cookie" and I are really excited. Our new Laredo 28'er will be in any day now. Will take the Ford Lariat 4x4 in to get set up and get out and start having and relaxing.
I will be searching for suggestion in the forum. I am not sure what to expect and have never pulled anything this long and wide before.
Well thanks in advance for everything. I, the alias names come from our association with the SASS, single action shooting society, cowboy shooting.

Willie & Cookie, and congratulations on your new Laredo.

There's a great bunch of folks here & all levels of experience - we were all 'beginners' at one time!
Surf through the existing topics, and if you don't see what you need, don't be afraid to ask questions!
In reference to towing something "longer"... just remember to swing WIDE, until you get used to how the
RV tracks behind your vehicle. Remember to allow for the RV height too [tree limbs, bridges, etc]

Happy Trails & have FUN!!
Terri, the Chevy co-pilot & DH Kevin

My husband started teaching me how to pull our rig a few weeks ago. I can't believe that I could hardly feel it being towed! The next big challenge will be to get on the highway with it.
