My Countdown has started
20 days... that's all that's left before I drive our new 28BHBE of the lot...
We purchased it August 16...but dealer kept it until this Spring for us (warranty starting only April 30th)....
Now if the snow can just completely go away.... I can't wait...
First outing planned for May 15th long weekend
Kids are also pretty anxious on sleeping for the first time in their new home away from home!

Less than 24hrs until I bring her home!!!!
That's if the dealer has done all the work I requested on it... I was told last week that it would be done... but you never know with these guys!!!

Camp in your driveway for a night or 2 before you head out. This will let you familiarize yourself with the rig and find anything that needs fixing before you are miles from anywhere.

That won't be possible since I can't park it in the driveway (TT is too long!!!!)... And I don't want to be sleeping in it with car driving by!!!
But we are only heading about 45minutes away from home during the May long weekend and I've had 5 yrs experience rving already...
So that first 5 day outting will be our test run!
