I didn't know it was a mid-door. Wow! Great find! We much prefer mid-doors too. Have I missed photos around here somewhere?

Dave, Peggy says call them right now and tell them if they ever sell it to call her first. She still loves that old beast and if we ever buy a sticks and bricks again, she wants it back.

We know Peggy still loves the U225.  When we were visiting together in NAC at Camp Foretravel back in January I came back to the the coach and found Peggy, with a couple of friends, and she was giving them a tour of her old coach.

I will pass your contact info to them on Sat. when we do the PDI.  They are going to do some full timing asap.

The old coach left today, new owners were happy beyond belief.  Kent will be interested that they intend to add the Banks system, that Kent did not add for me to enjoy. ;)

I did explain how Peggy and Kent wanted 1st right of refusal some day.

Now to somehow wait 10 more days to see and get our U295.  We have huge empty spot in the warehouse, floor is clean, and carport has been modified for the new coach to be able to get to the big door.

Well we have taken possession.  We had the hand over of keys, gotten some many questions answered.  We escaped FOT this morning, and are camped about 4 miles from the house.  Dolly is refusing to go home!

Tomorrow we are off to the warehouse to load the stuff off the shelves and organize ourselves.  Then I guess we head home.  I am ready to go fulltime.  If someone would give me an hour's head start in the house they could have everything left for $10,000.

The new U295 is more than we expected, power, space, storage, ride and drive.  We lucked into this rare mid door 36'.  Let the good times continue.

Well, we will miss you.  We have it turns out said good bye to norm and Shirl today as they too are leaving.

And Shirl said, they are so happy that you two got the coach.  Your enthusiasm and excitement made their letting it go almost okay!

I have to say though that their new coach is special too, beautiful.  Making this change must be equally fun for them.

Jackie and I got such pleasure just seeing you two couples so happy!  A special couple of days for us. 

Be safe, will send you photos of FB.

Congrats Dave, Dolly and Claire. I remember the first drive in our U300 and how much different the power and feel was. I loved the old one but the U300 is even better. Not to say that we wouldn't want the U225 back if we ever get a house again.

Seems a win for all as we were ready to upgrade and that was great timing for Norm and Shirl to grab their beautiful 320 that looks brand new and has 2 slides.

Steve and Michelle you are welcome down to the warehouse any time.

Steve and the RCI committee are welcome as well, for a Pourtravel tour and sit down.

How fun to read about all the win/wins in the various "coach exchanges," especially as we are in the throes of looking at Foretravels to see if they are for us/find the right one.  If your ex-U225 had the capacity to tow our trailer I would have loved it.  Your new coach sounds amazing too - U295 and mid-door?!  Nifty!

Here's to wonderful times for all in their new rigs.
