Chickadee...
Welcome aboard the best RV forum on the web!!
I'm sorry it took you so long to find it...but I am sure you will find it addictive now that you are here.
One thing I might suggest -
Go into your "Personal Profile" and add your rig/toad information so others will know what you have. I would also hop back down to the Newmar forum and ask for some "Newmar Karma". That will then give you "Newmar Owners Forum Member" under your name.
It sounds like you are pretty proud of your Newmar ...so share that info with all the others here!
You will find everyone here will be quite willing to help any way they can, so feel free to ask questions, give advise, share your solutions and of course tell us of your journeys as you fulltime! (By the way...where are you now?)
Enjoy the time you spend here....
