Another step closer

Another step closer

A couple of weeks ago we bought our tow vehicle. A 2003 Ford F 250 diesel . It has a 7.3 Liter engine with 3.73 gears. It came with a 16K Husky 5th. Wheel hitch installed. We've
had it checked out by a mechanic and will have an oil change done next week. But other than that its good to go to Texas where we will become Texas residents and will start our first workamping job.
Only scary part is we need to be in the Dallas area by March 1st. Actually we will need to be there a little sooner since the job starts on the 1st. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get a little closer to March.

In the mean time we have had the repairs done that the buyers requested after the home inspection. We've also had the appraiser come by about two weeks ago and have not heard anything so I'm taking that as a good thing. Still waiting for the buyers to get their income tax check so they have the down payment, that's why the closing is scheduled for the middle of February. Its frustrating because all we can do is sit and wait.

This past Saturday we went to the Atlanta Camping and RV show. I can say without a doubt we have found our rig. No more searching, no more listening to salesmen go on and on when you know as much if not more then they do. Although it was fun catching them in a lie when they didn't know the answer. Anyway, we decided on a 2015 Keystone Sprinter 269RLS 5th. Wheel. We got just what we wanted and the price wasn't to bad either. We got to pick out the fabric that Barb liked the best so at least its not the most hideous looking fabric. (I'll always wonder who picks out the colors for these RV's)

My daughter says it didn't happen if there aren't any pictures and of course the only time we didn't have a camera with us was at this show. Next week when we go sign some papers and drop off some money I'll be sure to take lots of pictures. So it looks like we might be on the road soon, hopefully. Keep your fingers crossed for us and I promise to post some pictures real soon.

Be Safe and I Hope To See You Down The Road
