Hello Richard, welcome to the OB community. I know that @M Rose gave you some information about @jcgraves3 and me are your closest Member Reps, as well as other helpful information. I want you to know that I am here to help you in any way I can, answer questions, whatever, and I'm excited to have you as part of our Region. You can pick either one, or both, to be involved with as you choose.
We haven't done much since Covid hit but we will start up again soon and you will be getting Rally Point invitations for events as soon as they start getting planned. Take care and I look forward to meeting you at some point.

Hello,
Just introducing myself. My name is David. I am in west Los Angeles. I am new here. Although I camped as a kid with my family, I am now re-getting into it as an adult with about 5 major trips (Carrizo Plains, KOFA National Wildlife Preserve, Joshua Tree National Park, Mojave National Preserve, Saguro National Park) and a few smaller excursions to Ohai and similar areas.)
All of these towing a 27-foot Airstream Globetrotter. It's very nice but limited on where I can drag it. Now I want the best of both worlds, with an option to not be as limited into where I can go.
Now I have a build slot for the Nutzo Tech 2 series for my 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon which will be modified for a little more spirited adventures down some places the Airstream won't like to go whilst I am trying to decide between an Opus-2, Opus-15, Vorsheer XOC or something else entirely.
I am very much a novice but highly committed to the Overlanding lifestyle. I just love it. I wanted to join a community and soak up information and perhaps grab someone's well-loved trailer as they move up or on until I get some more laps under my belt.
Here are a few photos of my "donor" vehicle. Not very exciting just yet, but it will come together fast.

Awesome stater links. Thanks Kent and everyone else for the warm welcome. It looks like my regional director @Narbob is basically my neighbor (next town over)!
