When we started off full-timing we had never pulled a 5th wheel before. The salesman said, "Don't worry, it turns on a dime and tracks perfectly after the truck." Our first stop was to friends who had a narrow gate. You see where I'm going. I didn't even get out to watch (as it tracks perfectly, right?). Well, we sliced the whole side of the 5er. We were devastated. Our new home was ruined. We took it back for repairs, and 2 weeks later returned to "the gate." This time we watched carefully and made it through. Then El Nino hit and where we were parked turned to a muddy pit. We were hopelessly stuck. It rained and rained and rained. We wondered what had we done. Finally a month later we started out -- and it's been fun ever since. That was 16 years ago. We laugh about it now and can't believe it was that long ago. Just stick with it. Times are hard now for you, but they will get better. I guarantee it.
