Hi DesertThumper,
Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum. There's lots of useful information here along with a great bunch of friendly and helpful people.
You can also meet some of those people at a local rally. Here's a link to one in central California. You'll make some new friends and have a great time. The Owners Club Portal describes club membership, including free introductory membership and the EVENTS tab at the top of the page lists upcoming rallies.
