Counting down the days

Last we heard our WC should be complete sometime late February. The anticipation is building and now I am getting so excited I'm actually starting to dream about it . Talked to Marlene last week and she said she would be sending pics soon. As of today I haven't received anything and it's taking all my will power not to call and bug her bc I really wanna see our trailer! haha.

Now I'm doing my homework on PDI's and trying to gather as much information as possible (eg checklists) to make sure I don't miss anything. I'm pretty sure I'll be over prepared, but like I always say, if you fail to plan you plan to fail.

As soon as I get pics I'll make sure to post 'em for y'all.

Thanks all for the recommendations on RV parks near Eugene!

Yes, but we've made some significant changes. We will have a different bedroom and bath than what's in the original floorplan. In addition we took out the dinette and recliners in the living room and put a ~12 ft booth with two tables taking up that entire main slide.

The timing work out great for us with the 41GKE being available...it really is an awesome floor plan, especially with the changes Bryan and Marlene helped us with .

Just heard from Sutton RV today that the WC is enroute and should arrive by the end of the week! Pics will be sent my way once it arrives.

Saw some initial pics of the interior...I am amazed at what a fantastic job PI has done with all of our tweaks to the floor plan! As soon as the WC gets to the dealer they are going to take lots of pics and I'll post those when I get them.
