What a wonderful few days! We went Tuesday to Knoxville in our big Ram dually to pick up our Big Horn RV. We spent two nights on the RVs for Less dealership site. Their people were great teaching us so much about our RV including how to hook up to our truck, maneuver, and unhook. We then went to a campground in Pigeon Forge, TN, courtesy of RVs for less. Kev did a great job backing into our site. We were there for two overnights and left this morning. We spent a lot of time yesterday trying to figure out why our icemaker wasn't working. Thanks to Johnny from RVs for Less, we figured it out and got it going. We also made checklists for setting up and breaking down so we wouldn't forget anything. We've already made some alterations to those lists.
We had no problems today with anything. We unhooked from the campsite, hooked up to the truck, towed home, parked the RV at the storage site, and unhooked the truck. I even drove for an hour or so. No problem!
But for the first time I can remember it wasn't good to get home. I really cannot wait until home is that beautiful RV.

Congratulations! Hopefully we won't be too far behind you. We make settlement on 8/31 and then it is full speed ahead.

Congratulations! Enjoy! Life is good! Wish we were closer, 2013 will be here soon but when I want to be on the road it doesn't seem that way.

Thanks! Wish we were able to get on the road for good now! But we have to wait for Kev to retire. That will be no later than March, 2013, but we're hoping for an early retirement before that. Still, that's not too far away. And in the meantime, we're planning a couple trips in the next few months.

Congratulations on your RV purchase. I hope you will be as happy with your Big Horn as we are with ours!
It is so exciting and rewarding getting your home on wheels.
If we could sell our home now we would hit the road, but as they say "this too shall pass" so we hang in there and take weekend trips for now.
Enjoy your travels and by the time you hit the road full time you'll have that much more miles under your belt!

Congratulations......it's always nice to get a new toy, in this case a new home.
