    Picked up 320

    Wow! We just picked up our new 320 today and we are so excited to get going. We will be going out on our maiden voyage next weekend and getting more familiar with everything. We are both a little overwhelmed but so excited to get going. So any advice anyone can offer is always welcome.

    Thanks everyone.

    I've been in various "RVs" for years from a 1967 FAN 16' that I still use for hunting to 23' Wilderness, 27' Prowler and an Eagle Cap 950 overhead camper. The 303 I picked up yesterday is my 1st fiver. My advice to myself is to GO SLOW with everything I play with, from hitching/unhitching, landing gear, stabilizer, awning, plumbing, everything. It's easier now that I'm a bit older but still have to remind myself to slow down and triple check my 'work' since most of my stupid mistakes were because I was rushed or distracted. Probably the best advice I could offer. That and ask a fellow camper if there's one around.. even if they giggle at your ignorance but your issue or dilemma gets resolved, who cares about a little embarrassment.

    Thank you everyone and yes this is our first one, so any and all advice is always good. I have been telling myself just that to slow down and just relax. Just on the way home I got to drive from a large interstate and then to a back country road, so I just kept reminding myself to go slow and easy. I did have so problem with the unhitch lever for the tow hitch. It is broken inside after just using it twice so that will be dealt with tomorrow. Kind of difficult to unhitch when the jaws don't release but, hey it's all good. Some creative use of a couple of bungee cords to hold the lever where it disengages the jaws and "poof" I'm unhooked.
    Thank you again everyone!
