Welcome! Jacqueg offers sounds advice. I started by going on 2-3 day camping trips in order to learn what I needed. My bed was the most important thing to me so I tested out 4-5 types before I settled on the bed I really liked and installed. They same goes for my water system, cooler/fridge, and storage. I went on a 14 day trip from NE, WY, MT, WA, OR, CA, NV, and UT...covering some 5,000 miles. When I got back I rebuilt my water system to suit my needs again. It's like a never ending growing experience. It's what makes it fun for me.
