Hello from the Texas Coastal Bend

New to the site, RV community, every thing.
-
We are jumping in with both feet in that we have nothing yet -but- F350 is due in early March. The wife and I are both bike riders but have reached that point that we no longer have the need to make those long distance rides. A 5th wheel toy hauler is in our immediate future.
-
I know we are going to make lots of mistakes and will need a lot of help in the form of information. Any and all suggestions and thoughts are welcomed.
-
We are both really looking forward to making new acquaintances and enjoying the open road from the RV side.

Welcome from Allen Tx. We've got an F350 dually also and use it to pull a 40ft Cedar Creek 5th wheel. Best advice I can give is to take your time (always) when hooking or unhooking. Never get rushed. I was unhooking once in the rain and rushing to try and not get soaked. Pulling out from under the 5'er and the wife screaming at me. I stopped just in time to avoid ripping off the tailgate that I forgot to put down. Lesson learned.

Enjoy whatever you get...

With the toy hauler and you are over about 36 feet, let's hope the F350 you have on order is a dually.

Welcome to the group from the Thousand Trails Park, Three Flags, in Wildwood, Fl., for now. We have a tri-axle toy hauler and enjoy it. Any questions ask away. You can send me a PM and we can talk about the toy hauler and answer your questions.
