After many weeks of pestering Earl the Patient with questions, I am thrilled to say my order is in for a lovely new 2450 (the extended 2350)! I am happy to join your forum, too, as I have been lurking on the fringes, soaking up your many words of wisdom, humor, encouragement, and fine knowledge.
My name is Carol. My doggie, Dawney, and I will be full-timing it once our new home is ready. In 10-12 weeks, we will be setting out from VA (suburbs of DC), heading to Elkhart to pick up our wheels, and taking advantage of PC's kind offer to let us stick around the neighborhood until we are comfy with our home and its basic operational and maintenance issues... a week... two...???

I know there are a few full-timers on the forum, as well as many extended campers, and if anyone has any general tips about build (before they begin nailing everything together!), I'd love to hear them. We will be putting in a floor-to-ceiling cabinet behind the passenger seat, as well as that slide-out pantry that comes with the extra foot on the 2450. Getting the jacks, thermal windows, solar panel, and other such practical items.
Looking forward to joining your little circle!
Carol
