We are brand new to the RV world, we've always been tent campers in the past. We just picked up our new Z-1 211RD this week and we are taking it out for a quick 1 night trip tonight. I'm both really excited and really nervous. I know things are going to go wrong, I just don't know what yet!

Something always is a challenge when camping, but don't sweat it.

Enjoy the trip and use common sense, it will all work out.

Congrats on the new camper and have fun !

Congrats on the new trailer and welcome to the site. Don't worry about the learning curve, just remember to bring your sense of humor with you andkeep a few extra cold beers in the fridge to offer those that help you and all will be fine. We definitely have made our share of mistakes (too numerous and some too humiliating to list) but we are still here a year later and our TT survived all of it. Enjoy and may your new trailer bring you many happy camping memories.

Don't worry about things going wrong. Think positive and it will all be good. Before you know it you will be an old pro.
Welcome aboard, and congrats on your new rig.

Welcome to the forum. When we were newbies we had bought a truck camper and took our first trip out with it only to find out that we forgot to fill the propane tanks. We looked at each other and burst out laughing. Thank goodness we cook over a fire. If you forget something or something does not work, make a list. On the top of that list mark down, "Laugh, it could be worse". Have fun.

Congrats...we haven't had any issues with our Zinger...you will more likely find things that you say "hey...we should modify this like so to suit our needs"!

Congrats on your new unit....a popular model for sure....I'm @ River Bend in Noblesville, IN and there are 2 here....and one big, brand new Redwood...a monster...hauled by a big Cat Rig...and he hauls one of those 8 foot cars behind him LOL...the 2 seaters...

enjoy yourself...have a sense of humor and laugh off the problems...I'm waiting for the DW to come home...she left for work at 6:30...I got up and the cover to one of my ceiliing speakers is missing, and I cannot find it anywhere....she says she has no idea...now if that's not something to laugh at I don't know what is
