Took the Plundge Today

Post by bennetdr on 4/14/2011, 12:34 pm

Well I done it today jumped from a pop up to a 5th wheel I bought a 2004 Forest River Wildcat 29BHBP. I hope I'm not in over my head.

Your going to love this unit. We had this before and miss it already. Was great with our then young kids. Pulled real nice. Was very reliable.
We did several mods, but really never needed much.
Hope you enjoys yours as much as we did.

From Winona and Ft. Knox.

My bet is that you will love it. We went from a 10 foot Coleman popup to our WC shown below and we were very happy with the change.

That's the exact jump we made, pop-up to a 2007 29BHBP, never looked back

We did the jump from a pop-up to a 31QBHS and love it every time we go out. Wouldn't trade our 5th wheel for anything. Welcome to the forum!

welcome to the forum.
We went from tenting with a half deflated air mattress to our 29BHBP. LOVE all the storage. My DW is not allowed in my "garage" (what I call the rear compartment) Enjoy your new 5th wheel!!

welcome

At least you had the experience with the pop up.
We jumped right into the 30Loft 5th wheel for our first.
Absolutely love it and I am sure you won't have any problems; just good times!!
