Hi everyone,
Respectfully Southern Nights started this thread to discuss the subject of advice to the New RVers, and now everyone is all over the place and so this thread loses a lot of relevance to his intended subject. I don't mean to throw sewer trout and Chebby's back at everyone, but I really would like to stick to the subject if it is possible, so I can learn as much as possible, which is why I took the time to respond to his original post, with my take on the subject.
Do you think we can get back to discussing the issues he has brought up, which I think is very important. And Larry, thanks for your unnecessary apology, as when you have certain people as RV mentors, you better have a tough skin. They want you to do everything right the first time, so no one gets hurt, and their advice is well taken. I will say we made many mistakes at the beginning from my DW standing between the rig and TV while I was backing up, (causing someone to almost tackle her to get out of the way. In her defense she was just trying to make sure I was straight on the hitch, not knowing the dangers of falling rigs), to me not being able to figure out how to hook up the water hoses correctly. Proper maintenance and complainers shouldn't fit in the same sentence, but I get his message loud and clear.
Thanks for everyone's cooperation.
