Delivery day came earlier than planned. We checked into the mega RV one stop shopping center early this morning and by 4 pm, we were moving our stuff into the drawers and exploring all the buttons and gizmos that this beautiful toy has to offer. We started the "walk-thru, orientation" with a very knowledgeable 'tech' and put it thru it's paces trying to find stuff that needed fixing. There hasn't been much so far and we will finish it up tomorrow.
They parked us side by side , door to door, to make it easier to transfer everything. We had already emptied and cleaned our coach so we only brought a few things with us to set up housekeeping. We'll gradually fill up more of the ample spaces but for now, we have most everything.
It is really really pretty..... It has many of the same features, washer/dryer, fireplace as our Suncruiser but in a more luxurious package. Now, one thing needs to be clarified.....we did not spend our kids inheritance on this.....and altho it was not cheap, (Paul is a master at making a good deal, plus we had a really good trade-in), it is not in the category of those high end coaches.....nor as big. We can still fit into ordinary campsites and maneuver in relatively tight places. But with the more powerful diesel engine, we can tow the Ford instead of the Honda and climb mountains faster than a snail. AND. ....it has a bath and a HALF !!. So we each have our own loo....... We took it for a test drive and it was so smooth.....and fast. We never go over about 62 mph and Paul had it up to 73 before he realized it. And that's why we'll use cruise control.
Anyway, enough about our new vacation-beach-mountain- home.....I'll take some interior shots in the next day or so when I get it put together.
Congrats, looks great!

ReplyDeleteGood-o! Hope your shakedown cruise at the dealer went well. You should have been here to give it a rain test for the last week! Boy did it pour! We're only 1 park, 5 days, and a few hours from home. Can hardly wait to see your new rig!
