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
