Hi, my name is Thomas and we (my wife Petra, our 3 Australian Sheperds and i) are the proud owners of a brand new 23ft North Country Trail Runner Edition camper since yesterday :rolleyes: It's a 2011 model and we got a great deal on it. This is our first camper and we have no clue what we are getting ourselves into. On monday august 27th we are going to start our first camping trip to Banff AB and we are very excited. We thought about buying a camper for quite a while and since the hotels in the area we want to go this year, are very expensive and charge a high amount for pets extra(15-25$ per pet/night!) we decided to buy a camper. We couldn't find a used one that we liked and so we bought the new one. Towing vehicle is a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab short box. I hope everything goes well and this will be one of many positive experiences to come.

Hi Thomas and Petra. Congrats and welcome! Wanted to let you know that we now have a chapter of the Heartland Owners Club in Saskatchewan! Yep - here's a link to the Sask chapter forum: //heartlandowners.org/forumdisplay.php/295-Saskatchewan-Chapter

Don and Janina have not yet planned their first rally - but it will come. Consider joining the club and attending some rallies. A great time of fun and learning.

Hi - nice to see more Canadians in here! First trips are always the most fun - because you fly by the seat of your pants! Be sure to ask lots of questions.

Well, technically we are not canadians yet :rolleyes: but working on it.
