Just put a deposit down on a new 2016! It's still on the line and should be here in October. After months of research and looking on this forum it finally happened. What to do now while I wait?

Plan your visit to Red Bay for factory tour and watch the build, if possible.

Find one of the online PDI lists that you like (what YOU will use for testing your new home on wheels), modify it as necessary for your unit and standards/options.

Think about all the wonderful add-ons you'll want to get, especially if this is your first RV. A few to start with - water pressure regulator, surge protector. better sewer hose than the standard freebie, box of ??material gloves, pots & pans, dishes, silverware, camping chairs, king sheet set/mattress pad, pillows, ok, you probably get the idea by now.

We're still in the middle of the PDI list and add-ons ourselves, have a 32SA going through final inspect/fix stage right now prior to shipping Sep8. Hey, you'll get the 6R140 6-spd transmission! We're waiting until we get ours home before looking into cabinet baskets/storage bay containers, to get sizes right.

Get a huge US map, and start marking all the places you want to go see . . . my wife and I are still adding a sticker or two every week after our initial deluge of national parks and other points of interest (Ft Wilderness, Smithsonians, Niagara Falls, etc)

Enjoy!

I would like to see it at Red bay but don't think wife and I will make it out. Thanks for the info. Definitely want ideas of what to add and prep for next.

Our coach just showed up Monday! Went to see it on Tuesday and if I wasn't excited before I certainly am now. It should be ready next week after the dealer's PDI.

Well we picked it up Saturday and camped in it twice already. The dealer even gave us infield passes to the Kansas speedway race this last weekend. I think wife and I are going to enjoy this!

Congratulations on your new baby! Looks like sunlit sand paint, you're really gonna enjoy a great floorplan! I'm jealous, you got to Kansas Speedway b4 I did!

Safe travels,

Looks great! We're enjoying ours, although its in storage right now until we get some misc home stuff taken care of. Then we'll be out in some Texas state parks.

Johnny Mac10 · 10-20-2015, 06:53 PM

Its paint is maroon coral. And yes love the floor plan so far. Camping for a few days in Herman, mo for the October fest before we winterize and store it.

Congratulations! Its very exciting and we're loving this coach so far. I drove in 15-20mph winds yesterday and it handled pretty good. By the way this is our first motorhome and surprised how good it drives.
