    Brand spankin' new RV Owners from Georgetown, Texas!

    Hello All, we are a family of 6 who reside in Georgetown, Texas (30 min North of Austin). We will be taking delivery of our brand new Transcend 32BHS this Thursday! It is our very first travel trailer & we look forward to many camping adventures with our 4 daughters (16, 12, & 10yo twins). We are in the process of acquiring all the gear to outfit it properly (cookware, beddding etc) & would love any and all advice. Is there a list posted on this forum?

    Our tow vehicle is a 2016 Expedition with a tow package.

    Welcome to the forum and to RVs in general. Best advice, if you arent sure about something, just ask. Even at a campground, most people are willing to help if you just ask. There is a ton of experience on this forum and lots of people willing to help out. As far as what to get, there are a bunch of discussions on this forum about outfitting a new RV, try the search function and you should be able to find them.

    Hey Great! Welcome Aboard from a fellow Texan and neighbor!
    Kind of outnumbered there 5 to1 are you not? LOL, you are in for a lot of fun times ahead!
    There is some information on the forum about initial outfitting and lots of others on Utube. You will get up to speed quickly on what you need and don't need. Only advice I would give you is do not skimp on your sewer hose commonly referred to as a stinky slinky. The cheaper ones do not last long and get holes in them from dragging them on the ground. In getting some of the more expensive ones just make sure the hose is securely connected to the end fittings.

    As a first timer initially I would encourage you to make a check list of things to do hitching up, setting up, and tearing down. We have been camping for many years and still use a check list, just so we don't forget anything and as a memory jogger. There are some on this forum that can give you ideas.

    Go Out and Make Some Memories With The Family!
