Just Starting Out

Hey all! Newbie here from New Jersey. Wife and myself, retired, family scattered, living with the cats and feel its time. Bought a 1994 Fleetwood Bounder 34J that came with a tow dolly and looking to see this country. I'm not new to camping but new to this type of camping. Understanding generators, black tanks, etc. - all the fun stuff. Anyway, thanks for letting us roam among the tin tents!

Welcome aboard!

As Old-Biscuit mentioned...what are the date codes on the tires and what pressure are they set to?

Yes, I have all the original manuals from 1994 including one just for the steps. Not sure on the tires though. It is still in Upstate NY and will be brought down first week of January. Me and the Pre-Wife can't wait.

Thanks everyone!

Hopefully you’re good with your hands and have gone through the rig before hitting the road. It’s a steep learning curve, but don’t sweat it and take your time.
