A lot going on lately. Will update later. Meanwhile...
...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!
Lots more pics to come when we get it all set up:

The truck we wanted finally came in to the dealer, so, Thursday we went to look at it, took it for a drive, took care of the paper work, did a lot of oooohing and ahhhhing....then left our new big bad boy at the dealership because they had not received the running boards yet. We should be able to pick it up for real sometime before Tuesday or Wednesday. Then we'll take it to have it undercoated, rain-guards and front window tint installed (to match the back windows), and Rhino bed-liner done.
Next, we'll put some miles on it to "break in" the engine before we go to pick up the RV we chose, a 2011 Keystone Fuzion 360 Fifth-Wheel Toy-Hauler, that will be our second home until we can sell the house and we plan to use it for many, many years to come.
Needless to say, we're pretty excited! This was a major decision and a huge purchase for us. It took a lot of planning, but we think we made the best choice for us and plan to use this truck for many, many (many, many, many) years.
Life is short and you just never know what's around the next corner, so we decided to take the plunge and enjoy what time we have left on this planet. :-)
