Just getting started again

Looking forward to being a part of the RV family. We didn't have such a good start in March. We began with a nice older 2004 Holiday Rambler Admiral drive to Phoenix from Georgia and on our return home we got to Mississippi and our MY caught fire from a wheel bearing and was a total loss. Just purchased a 2009 Forest River Georgetown and will make our first trip in June to Mississippi and Texas. Praying for a better outcome.

Welcome back. Which wheel bearing? Check your date code on your tires and get all your "annual maintenance" done so you have a baseline.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

Congrats on the new rig! Keep her between the ditches!

BTW, we don't normally treat folks that bad that visit MS!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!
