Yup, that's right . . . . gonna take delivery of our "new to us", 2009 KZ Spree 265RL.

It should be interesting, because the weather is not so good today around STL, plus I have never towed a 5er before.

We have had one pop-up and three TT's over the years, but never a 5er.

Now, just so I can get right into the controversy that is the Fifth-Wheels forum, I'll tell ya that I have a 1/2 ton Silverado with a short bed. PLUS, the KZ has a sidewinder hitch, just to add to the controversy!!!

Enjoy! We had a Spree TT for a year (fulltimed in it) and really enjoyed it. Had great customer service with KZ as well!

Happy Travels!

I was gonna take a few today, but I'm thinking it'll be kinda hard while holding an umbrella.

Heh, make sure you get the sidewinder wedge set up properly for your new hitch.

Congrats on your new 5th wheel and look forward to pics when it quits raining.

Hi Mary!

We hope to see you at one of the future FOOF rallies. This year's is kind of up in the air for us, we just don't know if we're gonna be able to make it or not.

Good luck. It looks like the rain is going to hold off until the afternoon. The wind is going to be a new experience for you.

If you're picking up from one of the bigger RV places I highly suggest you do a few miles on the outter roads before you hit the highway.
