New Magnitude owner

[Elkhounds]

Hello all. I have been creaping on here for some time now. My wife and I are now in the process of purchasing a 2022 Thor Magnitude XG32.

We have been RV'ing for 9 years. We are moving from a Columbus 320RS 5th wheel we have had for 7 seasons. What we learned in the past 7 years is that we do not spend much time in the camper. We have never used the inside stove top or oven in the Columbus. All cooking is done outside on my Camp Chef 2 burner stove.

While we are not yet retired we are getting things purchased and setup for when we do. We have kids in Seattle and Maine. Pulling the 5th was great but once we got there driving around in an F-350 can be a little difficult for DW. So we have a Ford Ranger to pull behind this rig.

We also travel with our 2 Norwegian Elkhounds. Trying to go somewhere with them and grandkids was not possible with the 5th wheel as they take up the back seat. This will now allow us to do more with the grandkids while keeping the pups happy.

I will be reading thru a lot of posts on here as I don't yet have the equipment for pulling the Ranger. I will be flat towing it just not sure what I will get yet. I want it to be easy to hookup and unhook so now the research on that begins.

Welcome. We used to live in Sturgeon Bay... sold the snow blower and bought an umbrella. Have fun with the new rig. We travel with dogs and kids too. Having all contained makes for bathroom stops and food breaks much more convenient for us.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the Mag XG32 purchase! There is plenty of great info regarding the Mag/Omni's on here.

We just returned from a week in our SV34 in 100 degree California desert weather on the Colorado River, the coach didn't disappoint, very comfortable for us and all systems go.

Welcome to the Magnitude family. Like any family there will be ups and downs, but a wealth of knowledge here.

I have a blue ox towing system since 2009. Still the same unit and only one failure the entire time and it was caused by human error (broke a spring), but easily fixed while on the road. I tow a 2010 Jeep Wrangler.
