New to the forum and to 5th wheels

[dws1308]

Hello from Texas,
my wife and I recently purchased a 2025 Alliance Paradigm 310RL, which is the 35 footer.
It is our first 5th wheel, so we have a lot to learn and hopefully we can begin here.

It's a good place to learn, and there are other forums out there filled with good info too. Welcome to the wonderful world of fifth wheels. Compared to bumper-pull RVs, I bet you'll love this one even more. We've been pulling fifth wheels since 2005 and I'm not sure I could ever go back to a bumper pull.

Welcome - from out west of you in Parker County, Texas (south of Weatherford).

We had a Rockwood Roo Hybrid pull behind for a short while and it gave us the bug to get a bigger one. From that experience, we learned a lot about what we do and don't like in an RV.
This 35' 5th wheel is a bit intimidating in size, but we love it so far.

You'll get comfortable with the 5th wheel trailer fairly quickly. Next thing you know you will be planning your trip to Alaska with it.

Thanks, we hit the road on our first trip on the 16th, day after tomorrow. Just a three hour drive to Lake Bistineau State Park in Louisiana.
Should be fun, weather won't be too bad, and we have two other RV'ing couples that are going to meet us there.
Nervous, yet ready to go. I'm sure it will become 'normal' in no time to hook up and go. I'm still a bit intimated on the leveling system, but that too is becoming more familiar and less frightening.
