New to the forum

We've been RVing for about 10 years via a 5th wheel. This week we traded the 5th wheel in for a 2012 30ft Flying Cloud, really excited about the new AS. Have been lurking for some time trying to get an understanding of what's involved in owning an AS as well as the fun aspects. Really great info here on the forum. Appreciate the detail that has been presented on preventive maintenance. From my experience, it's much easier to do PM that actual repairs. Hope to be able to contribute to the forum after getting my feet wet. Also hope to join in the fun of the Jan '13 Canopener Rally at Top Sail. Have sent a PM to Lucky Duck for details. Thanks again for allowing me to lurk and learn.
