[Pete'sMH]

Been reading this forum for a while now and decided it's time to join. DW and I purchased a new 2017 Freedon Elite 26 HE in January at Camping World in Richmond IN and have taken only two short local dry camping trips (4 nights) to get the hand of things. We plan one more with water this time to make sure all is well before we embark on a 4000 mile tour of western states toward the end of April. So far we have not identifies any problems or issues with the machine beyond a few small adjustments I could make myself. Modifications and additions to date or in progress include replacing duallie valve stems and adding TPMS (elected to use long stems instead of just extensions), adding a bedroom TV and DVD player, adding a hitch mounted cargo carrier which eventually will be used to carry electric bikes, black water flush system and a homemade sewer hose carrier.

Like many here we moved through tent camping to a pop up to travel trailers (several) and finally to this new MH. We had a small Fleetwood Tioga for a few years a long time ago and loved it but didn't have the time, with work and family, to use it so we sold it with plans to try again one day.

This camper seems to be an ideal size and floor plan for the two of us and we are looking forward to many years and miles of use. Now let's see if I can figure out how to add a photo...
