Yeehaw! First shake down trip on the calendar

Mrs. and I will be "camping" in our new motorcoach on the 13th, (that's a Friday by the way), 14th and breaking camp on the 15th, in May.

Can't wait.

Roll and Mrs. Roll.

Congratulations Roll!

I know you have been having some issues with the new coach but hopefully the enjoyment of this first trip will alleviate all concerns.

Have a great time!

Just got back from our 4th trip in our new coach. Once again enjoyed every minute. We are already planning our next trip, which will be in May. Our plans are to take as many short trips as we can within a 100 to 200 mile range, because of fuel cost. We are not going to stop going, but just not going as far.

Good luck and many happy and safe miles.

It's here. This Friday we head out for a long weekend to test our rig.

I have fixed (and the dealer has fixed ) so many things I can't imagine anything more going wrong..... oooops that was the kiss of death! LOL

Well as long as we have a good time it will be fine!

Roll and Mrs Roll

Well, other than poorly behaving dogs (ours) and rain it was a good trip. No breakdowns other than a ceiling halogen bulb (not the first of those to flare and burn out), it was an enjoyable and trouble free trip.

I am so peaked at my wifes growing interest in the coach and she is starting now to move things around and suggest things we need to pick up. This is a good sign comrades! When she moves something I don't say a word, she has the run of the coach since it's completely in my best interest. YeeHaw!!

Happy Roll
