...we drove the loaner car that the Chevrolet dealership gave us to use, a very nice Impala, and went to Cincinnati to see our new RV at Holman Motors. Nice people there. Very good online reviews about Holman...AND about Keystone. Holman is a family business in operation since 1945. We recommend checking them out if you are looking for a new (or used) RV.
The running boards for the Silverado finally came in to the Chevy dealership. We dropped off their loaner and picked up our new truck. Next week, going get it undercoated, clear-coated, Rhino bedliner, window tint, rain-guards....and then put some miles on by visiting a few friends in northern Michigan, and then friends and family in West Virginia. That should break in the engine and we'll get ready to roll in the new Fuzion this winter. We're SO excited!

I am going to poke my head just above the parapet now, because I am confused. From what you have said about the oil spill and BP on your blog, you obviously are strong environmentalists, which is very good. But then you go buy a huge truck and RV! It is a great truck and an even better RV, but is there somewhat of a conflict here maybe?
ReplyDeleteWow, that is one monster of an RV. I know you guys will live happily ever after in that baby! Congrats.
ReplyDeletecongrats on the new rig! Looks great and should work out perfect.

I join. And I have faced it. We can communicate on this theme.
ReplyDeleteI would like to exchange links with your site garysusatour.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIs this possible?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for following my site, and I will get caught up on yours asap. We used to ride, but after my husbands stokes, we gave it up. His concentration isn't what it used to be, and that is not a good thing on a motorcycle. Stay safe, Pidge
Beautiful rig!! Congratulations on your new home. You will enjoy many many years and countless memories in there. **hugs**
