Greetings from PA

Hello everyone!! We are currently waiting on delivery of our 2021 377FL. We currently own a Cougar 5th wheel. We love to travel with the grandchildren, which is why we chose the 377FL. We are thinking about someday becoming full time RVers. Looking forward to being a part of this group and learning from you all. Happy trails and maybe someday we will meet up on the road.

Congrats on your new camper. You will absolutely love that floor plan. We have High Country 375FL, (almost the same floor), except the loft and steps going up making the bathroom different sizes, and the kitchen counter is U shaped, where ours is L shaped.

If you have need, you will absolutely LOVE that back door on the opposite side, and the front living room is simply awesome. Not only do you have the loft, you can sleep (easily) 4 more people in that living room when you pull out both couches.

We love ours. We've been preparing for the last 2 years for full timing, which we are soon to engage upon. Our trips get longer and longer, and someday, I think we just won't return home. My son can have the house. He already lives here with his 7 year old son, and we've already deeded the house over to him. We'll use our current address as our home base and always have somewhere to return home to for needed repairs and re-grouping.

You certainly have the camper to go full timing. I do encourage you to use your camper as much as possible between now and "then" so you can work out the new owner bugs, warranty issues, and make those modifications to customize everything for your needs (and there WILL be many).

It takes about a year, just to get things settled down, where you store stuff. It seems the first year, things kept moving around, but finally found a permanent place to travel. It takes a year to get real comfortable, to get a natural flow figured out, and experience all 4 seasons of the year, so you know what to expect full timing, in any Summer or Winter, intense heat sunshine to torrential rains to snow and ice. So, over the course of the next year, force yourself to not only camp when the weather is pleasant, warm, sunny, and calm. Force yourself to go camping when it's expecting rain and gloom. Because, when you go full timing, you won't be able to return to your stick-n-brick house to get out of the weather. You'll be living IN the weather. So, use the opportunity over the next year to learn how to deal with it .. all of it. You'll be much, much better off and much better prepared, and have less hardship surprises when the weather turns sour.

Anyway, that is my sage advise. Enjoy that new camper. Use it as much as you can. Sleep in it every night if you can, even in your own driveway. Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy!

Congrats!
