Lucky, lucky, lucky!!!!
 
Welcome to RVF! Motorhome purchases can be hard decisions, but less of a problem when you're shopping for a Newmar.
What are you looking for in Austin? I live there and may be able to help.
Good Morning. We just starting researching Austin accommodations. Lake Travis seems lovely and we’re open to any place near a golf course. Thank you so much for your help.
 
Hi! New to RVing! Soon to be anyway. Researching motorhomes and resorts/parks currently. Next stop, Austin TX. Any advice on best parks there, please post. I saw the Austin thread but not too many places listed. Highly considering the Dutch Star and have started the “building out“ portion. Very overwhelming to say the least especially when we have no experience or base knowledge. So this site is quickly becoming a great resource for us.
Austin awaits you! There is a cherry little park right on Barton Springs in the mix of it ALL. A short walk to Zilker Park. Rumor says Macaulay Culkin comes in to stay awhile during SXSW. Also you can go check out the Oasis on Lake Travis. They call themselves Oasis Texas! Pace Bend and Pease Park are favorites for the annual Sailboat Regatta. And the list goes on. The station on the radio is 93.3 for new rock and 93.7 KLBJ (Lady Bird Johnson not her hubby Lyndon). The LBJ library is all about him and is an interesting visit. Have to cruise Gaudalupe at UT (walk, driving is INSANE) to get the College Scene and Rainey Street is the new trendy 6th Street. Austin360.com is the go to place for events and news. Hit me up when you hit town and I'll show you where we put our statue of Stevie Ray Vaugn! There are many places with a variety of amenities on Lake Travis. Head NW up to Marble Falls. It's amazing up there. But stop at the Gnarly Gar in Lago Vista for dinner and cocktails and live music.There is a golf course there I enjoy as a new golfer. I spend 3 days in the parking lot of the Gar and played golf with some residents and did some fishing as well! I just find places that are what I am looking for and pull in. Find turnoffs into the country. @MapNerd and @GlampDaddy can tell ya how to find what you personally are looking for. Texans really are friendly. Most land owners will let you park for the night out in the field somewhere. Great way to make friends you would have never made otherwise. There is always the trusty Walmart parking lot :)

Well, I can tell you how I sometimes find what I am looking for. Usually I come here and ask!

We ordered our coach to spec from Newmar. Do share as you go through your research process @Franni614. Folks on here have saved me from quite a few headaches and I’m only 7 months in.

welcome to the forum, don’t be a stranger. No dumb questions here.

Thanks Mapnerd! After the holiday weekend here, we will start with the build sheet. We have tons of questions already just with a few glances. We will put together a list of items and post once we can concentrate And focus on it, this weekend is very busy with family and such. Thanks again!
