New to RV ownership
Hello,
We are a couple in our 40's that has decided to take advantage of the housing market and move into a 5th wheel full time. We purchased a new 2021 Montana 3781RL this weekend. I grew up with 5th wheels in my family, but this will be the first that I've owned. Go big or stay home, right?
I am completely open and eager to receive any tips, must have product suggestions, lessons learned, etc. that any of you may be willing to share.
We pick up our new 5th wheel on April 2nd, 2022.

Good luck on your new adventure, and for a TV (Tow Vehicle) apply the same saying
"Go big or stay home", don't try to make do with something that isn't up to the task.

Welcome and safe travels. Inspect your new rig very carefully before you pull it off the lot. Best time to make any necessary fixes is before you take possession.

Congratulations on the new rig!👍🏻 We recommend a tankless WH for the same kind of showers you take at home just leave the grey tank valve open. I also installed a towel warmer in the bathroom like we have used for years at home!
Also like was said earlier check everything before final payment and leaving the lot. Stay safe bro. 🇺🇦🇺🇸☮️✌🏻

Congratulations!! Since we all camp slightly different the 1 thing I can suggest at this point is to keep a pad of paper and a pen handy to make a list of things to get for the next trip
