Thanks for the welcome. We bought a used 2017 Ford F250 2wd in Sept. 2020. Then purchased a used 2020 2500RL Imagine in Jan 2021. Due to retire full time in fall of 2022. There is so much info to take in my head spins sometimes, but so far glad to be part of this community. Thanks again and Be Safe.

Welcome to the forum!

I agree there is a lot to learn. We’ve been at it for some time and I still check this and other RV forums. I’ve come to the conclusion that it is an ongoing learning experience.

Welcome to the group. Dont be shy to ask any questions. That's a nice setup you have and the 2500rl is an attractive floor plan.

From one newbie to another.....welcome to the forum and congrats on your upcoming retirement. We think the 2500RL is a great floor plan for a retired couple. We will be taking delivery of ours in just a few more weeks and we're excited to get started camping. I've been frequenting this forum since before we ordered our camper and I've learned so much from the vast knowledge of these kind folks. I don't think a day goes by that I don't pick up something new and stash it away in my computer file for future reference. Good luck with your new experiences!!

Hi Pat,

We were finally able to view a 2500RL in person on 3/15/21 and we gave them a deposit. We were told it would be about 3 months for an order. However, we were still undecided on the 2500RL or a 2600RB and we wanted to see the 2600 in person before we made final decision. A few days later they just happened to get an ordered 2600 in so we drove up to look at it. We were able to view it side by side with the 2500. We decided to go ahead with the 2500 order. Our sales rep looked on their log and noticed that they had an inventory order already placed with the same specs as we wanted so he put our name on that one. He told us that it was due to come off line on 4/7/21 and they should have it by the end of April or first week in May. I guess we just got lucky!

Good for you guys. Enjoy

Welcome to the family! We were so busy after we retired that we wondered how we got everything done while we were still working (or maybe we didn't?

).

Now you can create a signature block with your RV and tow vehicle information (see mine below). That way you won't have to repeat that information whenever you post or ask a question. You can create a signature by going to:

Forum Actions (on menu bar) -> Edit Profile -> Edit Signature (under My Settings on the left)

Happy camping!
