Well, plane tickets bought, rental car waiting at the airport. I'm flying out to Eugene, OR Sunday so that I can inspect my new Signature Monday afternoon. I got pictures Monday and decided that I wanted/needed to go out and check things out while it was still being built at the factory. It's suppose to be completed Jan 26, and be ready for shipment.

However since Monaco agreed to do a little customizing for me I wanted to make sure all was well before it left the factory and I especially wanted to check out the paint job for any swirl marks.

Congrats on your new rig. Good idea flying out to see it and make sure it is indeed what you ordered. Post pictures when you can. If it is going to be ready for shipment on the 26th, too bad you cannot go back with it. A special note, since you will be at the factory, if you want some special pillows or upholstery items, that is the time to pick them up, all the fabric is there on hand.

MM...it is becoming very clear why you took the job and moved to the toll troll position to Eugene, and close to the Monaco factory/repair....you get to meet so many great people!!!

How exciting!!! I hope all is as you wanted it! Have a great time.
MAKE sure you take the Troll along or ........
Well we won't go there but ask AKBrick as he is still trying to pay off his debt for not paying the toll!

Many Congrats to y'all! What feeling that is to see your new coach.

We ALL get a ride in it, right? Dibs on shotgun!


I was so impressed when we'd bought our latest coach and everyone wanted to go for a ride in it... until I learned they all wanted to be the first one to 'christen' the commode.

Well, I'm kind of excited, but you have to remember that this is the 2nd coach in 10 months. I bought a new 2007 Dynasty in March, that's fully loaded. Matter of fact, it's got almost everything that this Signature has, but the "boss" wanted the bath and half, and I wanted the bigger motor, and Carolina RV gave me a good deal. I would have been out of my mind not to buy...Anyway, I have pictures if someone will kindly tell me how to post...MM I was thinking about coming over to the Monaco Camp ground Sunday and try to find you guys. If I remember correctly from your post I think you are there right now. Correct me if I'm wrong other wise I'll be looking for you Sunday afternoon.
