Well, we are driving to pick up our first fiver!!! We haven't slept in 3 days 'cause we're so excited!!! Husdand & I are insurance adjusters that we just looking for an excuse to get a fiver....can't wait to get the girls in & go...the girls, 9 year old Campbell (Cocker Dashund mix) & 5 month old Tip (Blue Healer/Aust. Shep. Mix)
We are picking up our new to us, 1998 Dutchman Classic! Does anyone have any advise about pulling the dining table/bench and building in a desk area? Also, we want to pull the carpet & install laminate flooring - any advise?
We hear that the RV'ing community is friendlly & welcoming so we cant' wait to hear from or meet new RV'ers!!

rvingadjusters, welcome to iRV2.com. We are glad to have you join us here and look forward to reading of your advenures and experiences. Congratulations on you new to you fiver. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as you will using our forum. I can only suggest theat you keep in mid the mount of weight you add to the rig. Try to keep it light & you should be fine. THe carpet was the first thing down so it goes under everything. Just cut it at cabinets and wall and put down the linoleum. Good luck and enjoy!
