Congratulations.
Will you haul a trailer for your merchandise and raw materials?

Bill & Lauri - Congratulations on your new purchase. Welcome to the group that likes to do traveling and then have a place to stay - either along the way or when they get there. We have put so much more miles on our unit then we ever did with the Class A. "baywoodbill" asked whether you will pull a trailer. We have found that This Chariot Trailer is outstanding. It is so lightweight and has excellent resale value. Some owners have sold their used ones for more than they paid for them several years ago.

Congratulations!
Isn't this fun?
You know, I never get tired of taking our B on long trips or just a trip into town.
We are going to a Thanksgiving parade tomorrow. It is supposed to be in the 40's but we will have our B in a regular parking spot nearby all heated up with cold and hot drinks ready to go!
And, welcome to this forum.
I think this forum has a great group of people who are willing give wonderful advice.
The B is a great business vehicle. (I sometimes take it to work so I can take a great nap at lunch hour.)

wow! its nice to know that you all are out there!
Lynne, currently, its about a 85% business vehicle....as we haven't quite reached the "life of leasure" stage....but stay tuned!
Mr. Hit the Road, I was in Ft. Walton Beach two weeks ago for a meeting windsurfing regatta. I'd tell you the Keitel connection...but then I'd have to shoot ya. (no connection)
Davydd- the Niobrara around the Valentine area is a place of beauty. We cross the "Dismal River" a couple times each year and enjoy the remoteness.
Mr. Baywood, We have a trailer that we've used in the past to haul behind a Town and Country.....it fits precisely in the wind profile and has been perfect to haul our goods. Now the lil' trailer seems to be dwarfed by the new sprinter, alas.....currently theres no money for a bigger one! Good news is that we can haul most of what we need in this small trailer...besides we can make sure its still in tow by checking the back up camera!
Joe, We live two blocks from work...the biggest problem is patience, patience.....counting the days that we can head out down that long lonesome highway!
We're making plans to saddle up!

Wonderful! Think of the ease of parking!
Have you owned an RV before? You sound fearless.

Dang, I've been edited!....opps checked the rules and I guess I can't do that http stuff. Well, sorry.....I just don't know how to put a picture of my Great West up on this forum....I'll learn in time.
Sammy, I'm not fearless.......sometimes I've been known to display a "devil may care" attitude....but rest assured, I've been around enough that its time to "exercise caution and use good judgement".

I caught your Buffalo Billfold company website before it was edited and got it bookmarked. Clever name and cool building.

I'd say that traler is perfect. If you have to haul a trailer, the smaller the better. (per my anti-trailer opinion).
Great looking RV.

We are planning out first "open house" with the sprinter this weekend. It will be held on Idaho Ave. in St. Paul. Our kids are hosting Thanksgiving and with a house full we will be staying in the Great West Van... hmmm...at 20 or 30 degrees , we'll be able to test the heater. We've already winterized it.
Does anybody have an outside temperature that they feel is their tolerance level? (when it come to cold temperatures).
