Middle-Age Newbie
Hi all. New to trailer camping. Just picked up the 2011 Springdale 241 Saturday. Used very little - looks almost new in most regards. Have it at home doing a little pre-season maintenance, cleaning, and changing a few accessories. Tow vehicle is 2010 Toyota Tundra 5.7 with TRD package. Using an E2-EQ 800/8000# weight redistribution hitch and a P2 brake controller.
Wife and I are training our first search & rescue K9, Toby. A lot of the trailer use will be traveling to training courses and certification testing (at least for now). We have six S&R events between now and end of July. We do have one "vacation" weekend in there - meeting up with sister and husband (long time trailer campers).
All for now. I expect I will learn a lot from this forum. I won't be afraid to ask questions when they come up.
Randy

Great !!! Enjoy your training sounds like FUN 
Still recall first training session " PACK ANIMALS -- You will either be the Pack Leader OR be prepared to be a member of their pack " 
So True 
Have enjoyed GSD training over the years

Forgot to ask what breed are you working with. 
Good, as you read through the forum do not think we have many shy members. ASK AWAY
