Hi my name is Charlie and I'm new to this forum. We are looking at a 193 tv is a 17 Ram 5.7 2wd. We would be moving up from a pop up. So I would need everything , wondering if a Tekonsha Primus IQ would be a good choice. Also Anderson hitch was recommended by a buddy of mine. Any input would be appreciated . Thank you

This is a true statement :)

Welcome Ray, New 192 owner myself, can't wait to get out there.

Hi Charlie, welcome.  I'll bet the Tekonsha would work for you with the right adapter harness.  We considered moving our Prodigy P2 from our Traverse to our RAM but decided to get the OEM installed instead. Integrates into the dash as well as gives you a few dash options we liked.  Something to consider.  Probably 500 or so installed, so more expensive.

Far as a WDH is concerned, highly recommended and there are quite a few out there to choose from.  Someone with Anderson exp will probably chime in.  Don't have that brand myself.

Welcome Cliff, enjoy your 193!  Like those layouts myself.

Hard to beat a Garmin unit for navigation. It doesn't need cellular data or even a cellular signal to work. Some areas are very much lacking in cell service, so you don't want to be out somewhere and your maps can't update because you don't have a signal.

Campgrounds? There are lots of apps, but my go-to app is RV Parky. It helps find not just campgrounds, but also places to boondock.

There are several out there, some free and some subscription. We use Road Trippers and Allstays. Of course Google Maps is pretty good as well.

Good morning, My name is Joel and my wife, Jennifer, will be picking up a 2022 R Pod 180, in a week or so.  We just bought a Casita and found that it is just a bit small for us and we really liked our friends 180.  Did some searching and found a new one in Ohio.  A bit of a drive from central Texas but not a biggie.  I have been camping my entire life and look forward to the new rig.

Good morning and congratulations on your purchase. Do you still have your Casita? I've been looking for one, my wife and I are going the other (smaller) direction.⁷
