Hello, Newbie from VA

Greetings! I am an avid backpacker who cannot get my husband to join me on overnight trips as he cannot handle sleeping in a tent due to back issues. So it just so happened some friends of ours were selling a 2011 Jayco Jay Flight Swift 145RB. They only used it twice last year and the elderly couple (original owners) barely used it at all. It was a steal, and looks brand new, so we bought it and now we're looking for a truck to tow it (I have an Escape and hubby an Edge, neither will do). We are looking forward to taking it to Shenandoah National Park this summer which is my favorite place to hike. I am hoping that this TT will get my husband interested in the outdoors and it is the perfect size for just the two of us (and maybe our 3 year granddaughter occasionally). Looking forward to learning more about the TT community.

Hello and welcome. My wife had to do the same thing! I love the outdoors, but I am no fan of tent camping. She purchased a used travel trailer a few years ago and now RVing has become a big part of our lives. Enjoy!

Welcome to the forum! I hope you and your DH will have many great camping experiences.
(You may want to upgrade the mattress for DH's back.)
