New Wildcat Owner
by mga60tw on 3/31/2009, 12:46 pm
Made the plunge today and bought a very nice 2006 Wildcat RLBS. This is my first 5er as I plan to retire in September 2009 , if the house sells, and hit the road with the wife. Plan to see as much of the USA as possible without having a time schedule. I am pulling the Wildcat with a 2007 Chevy 2500 Classic Duramax crew cab( a great truck). The deciding factor for us to purchase the model was the slide out for the bedroom. The wife loves the extra closet space. I have a lot to learn and can't wait to start trying out the CAT.

Welcome aboard the forum. You've come to the right place to find out a lot of stuff about your new cat.
The best thing about the forum is we're all still learning as we go.
You did the right thing with the slides. You can never have
" To Much Room ".... I met a couple this weekend that didn't get the bedroom slide and said they regret it now.
If you need help figuring out how to get things to work on the forum just post a note and someone will help you.
If you go into your profile, click on the signature tab and add what model cat and truck you have. You have to read through the other questions in your profile but theres one that ask if you want to show your Signature. Be sure to click yes on that one.
Glad your here.
Phillip

We have the same 'Cat as yours (even to the year). We LOVE ours and we agree that the slide in the bedroom makes all the difference. We have nearly the same truck, ours is an '06 with a Banks system added. I also LO-O-O-OVE Mah truck!
I have learned a lot in the last year, much of it from the folks on this forum. Lurking or asking questions, it's all good.
Oh, and we really appreicate your pictures!
