Hello, my wife and I are young Campers (we have a 2yr old) and we camp at any moment we can. We currently own a cherokee grey wolf 26BH and are looking to upgrade to a fifth Wheel. We are just starting to look and our goal is to have one picked out by this fall. Joined this place to learn and ask some questions.

shop around, look at all the models out there, see what you can pull/stop safely with the tow vehicle. We bought new all around as this was our house on wheels (HOWie). I have pulled my 5er through the Canadian rockies and was glad we have a big a$$ truck to stop it. Research all the info you can. At the end of the day it is what you are going to be comfortable with. This website rocks. It is the first place I go to when I need info. Again welcome, Jeannine & Joe...cheerio and safe travels.

Hello and Welcome! The people on this site have so much knowledge and are happy to share it. Camping with the family is the best experience. We tent camped when our kids were young. Good luck finding the rig to fit your needs and safe travels.
