Intro - new full-timers and will be looking for knowledge!

[rudy558]

Hi all,

My wife and I will likely share this account. We just bought a brand new 2023 Reflection 337RLS and plan to go full time.

We've never owned an RV before and are going to park it on some family property permanently while we save up for a house or some property of our own to build on.

As complete newbies, we will likely be posting/checking the forum for advice on how to be successful at this. Once we have more knowledge, we hope to pay it forward to others in the forum.

Excited to meet y'all!

I assume you will have full hook-ups? If so, park tires on boards, cover sewer hose with outside carpet (keep sun off it and it will last a lot longer). Use a good surge protector and protect the electrical system. Keep up on the outside maintenance (wash/wax and clean roof). Be sure you have a great water filter and we like to use a soft water system (protects the plumbing). Do not see where you will be parking. Areas have different needs.

Also, if you do not have hook-ups, you will need some way of hauling off sewer and hauling in fresh water (hopefully, not the same container) and supplying electrical power, like a generator, solar or wind.
