Just finished our inaugural 3 week trip with our "new to us" Mountaineer bunkhouse fifth wheel. What an experience. We've never done this before at all and are completely green, but our son has a MH and kept pushing us to get an RV so we could join them and the grandkids. We got the bunkhouse version so we would have a separate room and "powder room" (toilet) for the MIL (Great Grandma) who travels with us. That worked well, but it's about all that did.
Wow! If we could mess something up we did. Just a few of the adventures included dropping the trailer onto the truck, doing 3 loads of laundry when the tank only holds grey water for 2, a tire blowout, a new toilet, slides stuck halfway out, no lights, and oh so much more!
Hopefully we made all our mistakes the first time out, but never mind - we learned tons and we'll eventually be pros like the rest of you. As I write this the RV is in the shop getting put back together (surprisingly not too much serious stuff happened - it was a pretty sturdy vehicle)!.
Next stop is to see if there is still room at the Montana Owners Rally, and at the Safety and Educational Forum in Sept. I think we need the help
