Congratulation's Greg. I'm sure it wasn't easy finalizing all of your options but I bet it was fun. Hope the construction phase runs smoothly for you. :thumbsup:

Thanks Gae!


It's fun -- but there's LOTS of choices and options... and having never had one before leaves me at a bit of a disadvantage. It's hard to know what you'll use and what you won't and HOW you're going to use it... so I've kind of taken the "better to have it and not need it... than need it and not have it" approach.

It's the BIG things I don't want to get wrong... thus the increase to the 600 HP Cummins ISX motor --- and upgraded to the ALLISON automatic transmission etc.

I trust the dealership/salesman... they are experts -- I like working with him so also have to put a lot of trust in his guidance.

Sounds like a nice powerplant for that Impala of yours. :D

Yeah I agree - I'd go crazy trying to decided on the million options.:willy:

Just think of it as a mobile home away from home with the bonus of being able to take your toys with you and you should be in good shape. I would think the most important things to know would be your utility and waste hook ups and knowing the locations to dump the latter. Everything else is just a bonus.
If I could afford one of those bad boys I dont think I'd ever come home. :lol:

Congrats on placing the order!

We have a family friend who lives in CA but took delivery out of state...there was an idle period where it had to stay out of CA, and then they didn't pay sales tax on their 43 footer. Wondering if WA gives you has that same loophole? Ever heard of this?

Ha, I know people who've used that trick with delivery of engagement rings.

The whole time I've been here in Washington DC I've been thinking about running Watkins Glen! Making big plans for big road tripping'!

:woot: :cheers:

Some of 'em come with a little red dot on 'em though. :_paranoid

Welcome citizen!



Amazing performance by Sinatra by the way on this one...

Wow, that will be awesome!! So, I have to ask, what does Gwen think of all of this? Will she be coming with?

She had a great time at Bondurant.... and will make some track events with me . If the didn't think she would - I'd have gone with a smaller toter and probably a little more utilitarian....

She's going to drive the Mustang (with instructor) at Thunderhill this month... and I'll just hope that Charley doesn't run her off. Or run off with her. :lol:

I sold the idea that this would be similar to our boat... go anywhere - any time - hassle free (ha!) way to mess about the country. We'll just use various "dates" of events (shows or track days) to go somewhere... then mess around going to and from.

If she doesn't like it.... My friends will!

:rofl:
