Congratulations on intiating your long anticipated acquisition. Now let us all pray that the gentleman with your build order gets everything done right. He certainly has been sufficiently caffeinated to get started.
Soon you will be able to take flight from the “Middle of Georgia” and explore the extremities.

At first I thought your point was that people were going to be laid off in the plant..just a bit of negativity in my brain due to the current times. But instead, I was treated to a great story of one person's patience and perseverance to attend to their dream. Best wishes to you, and hope to join you in 3 years in my Red Rider 99 F-350 and Excel 28RGO. Lee

We're right there with you, Radio! We got an email from RVW yesterday and our Cruiser just rolled off the line as well! They will have it on the lot early next week. We scheduled a pick up date of July 5th @ 9:00. We have to have a hitch installed since this is our very first 5'er and our very first NEW RV!!!

We have the trailer! Our pickup went very well, there was one option (an extra battery) that there was some confusion over, but because I kept all our email exchanges and printed them all out we were able to iron it all out and get it installed real quick.
We are now in the Wapakoneta KOA and the owners are great. Very helpful to we newbies. We got to meet PMiller228 and his wonderful family as they picked up their new 5th wheel in the bay next to ours. (Yes, Virginia, there IS a Radio.)
We are impressed with the trailer, except that the kitchen table is to close to the window to let the shade down all the way (oops!) and the A/C vents over the bed spit out little bits of styrofoam all over the bed. We made "filters" from cheesecloth and blue painters tape and we'll just wait for all the bits to blow out.
We are having a blast.
They really do built dreams in Elkhart, and we picked up ours just yesterday.
Thanks for all your attention as so many of you lived with us vicariously through this posting for the last 10 weeks.

CONGRATS. Now keep reading about all the mistakes we make so you can avoid them. Number one rule is have a checklist modified for your trailer and FOLLOW it step by step. I know it sounds stupid and slow, but it is actually faster because you don't have to pause and think "did I do this?? That?? omg did I forget the other thing???". You get the picture.
I speak from experience. I am the example you don't want to follow.
Fun is that stuff that happens in between mistakes.
