Today's the day !!!

Dealer advises my new MH ready for pick-up this afternoon. Snuck a peek at it yesterday and really happy with finish and quality of construction. Hadn't seen it since I watched it being built for two days last month. Dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse on washer/dryer install so got that done too.

Will report later on first road trip - approx. 15 miles from dealer to my house.

Congrats Dave waiting to see the pic's.

Thanks 007, will try to post some pics in next few days. Initial impressions - drives, rides and handles great at least on my 15 mile jaunt home today. Fit and finish seems to be very good, haven't found any real flaws yet, but still looking. Couple minor issues, they put the dryer in so high my wife will have trouble reaching controls - fixable. The side shades are not long enough to cover the windows all the way down - fixable. I'm sure we'll find some other issues as we progress but for right now, WE ARE HAPPY CAMPERS !!

Rather than a short 15 mile trip home....load the thing up and roll on down the road.

Will be doing that soon enough! Got to get it road ready first - lots of goodies to install including scangauge, PI surge protection, CB, GPS, and other assorted items. Will be taking several short trips prior to big one come January - headed to Arizona and California for a few months to get out of the MI. winter. Hope to have all isssues ironed out by then.

Now the fun begins, enjoy and many safe miles. You will like the Ford also.
If a problem just don't blow it up to something bigger, just think of it as something simpler.

Well - here we go with some pix. O/S shot not to good cause of sun angle.

Looks good!! Have fun!!

If we were in the market for a new coach, this model & floorplan topped my list. I especially like the king bed with a decent-sized nightstand & the wardrobe beside - it makes the bedroom seem a bit bigger & less cave-like. Most coaches I've looked at w/a king bed have those teeny-weeny shelves stuck to the walls beside the bed...barely enough room for my clock.

Safe travels & enjoy!!

Sure looks better than the last time I saw it! Looks GOOD. Enjoy Dave and keep us posted on travels. We are in Yellowstone now and believe me I'm taking a less mountainess route next time, like thru AZ.
