Greeting from Michigan
Greetings
My wife and I went to the RV show in Novi Michigan last Thursday. (Just to look)
Well guess what ?
Friday we pick up our 2018 Keystone Passport 2520R. We are long time sailors, and have always said boating is “Camping on the Water”
We retired this spring so time to try new hobbies. I have a few questions for people with experience.
I know when I pick it up they are gonna try to sell me some kind of warranty, I have never been a warranty type of guy, I am the type that does everything him self. What are your thoughts on warranties ?
As far as outside sealant they tried to sell me at the show I will do that myself, what do you guys recommend?
All the propane and water systems are quite similar to boats so I would be fine.
I am sure after we take delivery I will have many more questions.
Thanks
Pat and Debbie
Dearborn Michigan

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new trailer. Be sure you do a thorough PDI on the new trailer before you take off with it. Here is a link;

Welcome to the forum from the Memphis area! "I am the type that does everything him self" That about says it all concerning warrantees. Watch things closely the first year and go from there. Congrat's on the retirement. It IS all it's cracked up to be!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum. There is lots of great advice and experience to tap from the members. My advice is to take a few days camping trip in your driveway to familiarize yourselves with the RV's features and to identify those things you wish you had packed but didn't.
Have fun and let us know how the 2018 works out..

Looks great! I know you can't feel the waves but camping has other virtues. But, where's the grill? I don't see one in the pics You gotta have a grill.......or two
