Default I'm an addict

And just can't help myself. Yesterday Cindy and I put down a deposit on that 1998 2 slide at Motorhomes of Texas.
We'll trade in our '93 so that will make the transition much easier. They will be putting on new tires today or tomorrow and fixing a few minor things. So hopefully tomorrow or Friday we can move in.

Wow, Forest and Cindy, you don't mess around....didn't realize the last time I set foot in your coach in Cedar Key that would be the last time I saw "her".....looking forward to seeing the new one at the rally this summer!

NICE! I want to upgrade sometime soon too. I don't think I saw the pictures of this coach. I will check back to see if you posted pictures once it's officially yours. Congrats!

You're not kidding. This is one of the nicest looking coaches in its class and what a score. We pondered hard about this coach and what a great fella to end up with it.

Default Moving day

Moving day!
Signed papers and wrote a check and now it's ours. We decided to spend the weekend here at their lot so we can get more organized and Monday have them adjust any problems we find.
Got some essentials moved in now we'll just sip a little wine and enjoy the night.
Thanks to everyone for your nice comments.

Very nice Forest and might I point out how much larger your new Newell is when parked next to your old Newell Coach.
