Long time camper, new RV new member

[GregP1968]

Hello all, new member here. My name is Greg and I've been camping my whole life. Have gone the last 10 or so years without a camper while my kids went out on their own. Now that I have 8 grandkids and am retired it was time for a new camper. I just bought a new leftover 2024 Bullet Crossfire 2680BH. Planning on putting it at a seasonal site where other family has campers.

Congratulations and welcome.

I do have to say that it is a good thing you are parking it on a seasonal site, because that is way too much camper for that truck......JUST KIDDING!

Enjoy!

Lol, thanks for the welcome. That's an F250 super duty diesel. Pulled it like it wasn't even there from New Hampshire to my house in Massachusetts.

Welcome to the site. The F250 diesels are great for towing travel trailers.

Hi Greg welcome ,Kudos on your new camper i think you will be happy with it. Enjoy relaxing at your go to hideaway with family. Make sure you cover it in the off season from the harsh weather up there .it will keep it nice for you !

Thank you for the welcome, I could cover it in the office season orrrrr hook up and head south... 3-4 months in a warm part of the country is very appealing. Lol

Welcome to the forums and congrats on getting your new Bullet. It sounds like you've going to have a good time with it.

When I was a kid, my dad's cousins had cottages along a lake in Northern Indiana. Mom and Dad had a small travel trailer that he pulled and parked beside one the cottages. Of course, we were not permanent, only a couple weeks at a time. But the whole "clan" would gather there and those are some of the fondest memories I have of my childhood.

I learned how to swim when I was about 7 years old. My dad took the life jacket off I was wearing and tossed me over the side of a pontoon boat in the middle of that lake. It was probably 50 feet deep. I was yelling and screaming and my mother went nuts. Dad held her back and yelled at me ..... "Either sink or swim!" It your choice! .... I swam! That's how I learned. .... True story!

David, we either grew up in the same era or our Father's knew each other because that is exactly how my Dad taught me to swim. Then when I was 11 he was teaching me to sail when he just did a back-roll of the side of the boat and just treaded water and waved at me as I continued across the lake alone and terrified. But I applied what I learned, tacked back and forth across the lake a few times and eventually got to where he was, released the sail as I approached him in the water, and slowed down enough so he could climb back on board. We often joke that if my parents tried any of that stuff today, Child Services would have taken me away and locked them up for cruelty to children, but I have zero regrets and wouldn't ever change what they instilled in me.
