Hello all,
I have looked at this site several times looking for information and it's been so helpful I decided to join. My wife and I are campers from way back 40+ years starting in tents. We moved to pull campers, then 5th wheels the biggest being a 36 ft triple slide. We sold everything when we bought some property in TN knowing we would have little time to travel, but now that things have settled down a bit were getting back into it. Always a trailer guy I was skeptical about getting a motorhome, but decided to give it a try. We bought a fixer upper 2011 Thor Hurricane. The floors were sagging and dated. The exterior was faded and dull, but everything worked. We made a few test runs starting a 100 miles out to 300 miles out. We found some issues and corrected them. i.e. tires truing, wheels balanced, alignment fixed 90% of it. We liked the RV so we started renovation and they are more or less complete. Rebuilt floor, new flooring, new carpet, new furniture, new led lighting fixtures, new TV's, cleaned and polished the exterior, buffed the headlights, new awning etc. Now were ready to head out. Our major trip this spring will be to Salem Or on a vacation/work trip.
