I've been lurking on the Thor forums since mid-Sept. That's when my wife and I "got the bug" and put a down payment on our Windsport 29M (our first ever RV).
We wanted a different color scheme & unfortunately, we had to order our unit. Well, that took forever...we didn't get it until Dec. 9th. We live in PA, so my first day of driving was through 4 inches of snow fall.
Nothing like trial by fire, right!
It's been pretty cold since we got her, so I haven't had a chance to get any mods done, but I am making a list.
I can't wait to get started and just want to say Thanks to everyone on this forum for the help, especially for newbies like me.
Oh, and with the Christmas holiday, I had 3 days off & finally got caught up on all the posts in the topic...whew! I fell asleep a few nights last week trying to read them all.
My first planned mods will all be geared toward the suspension:
1) CHF front & rear
2) SafeTPlus
3) Rear Trac bar
I'm saving some money for those items now. My biggest concern is that I'd like to try to do most of them myself, but I've never owned a vehicle this large. So, I have lots of research to do to figure out how I can get more clearance (safely) so I can move under the rig. I may have to just bite the bullet & find a qualified dealer & pay to install some of them.
Thanks again & hopefully one day I can actually contribute to the forum. Until then, I look forward to continuing my learning and enjoying the newest journey.

Welcome to the site.
Im 6'4" 240+ and i can fit under the motorhome. I did all the work with some help from friends. If you can turn a wrench then the mods you want to do can all be done at home saving you lots of install money.
If you need any coaching before doing the work just ask. I can pm you my cell and walk you through it and give you some time saving tips
Have fun and merry Christmas
