I hope everything went well today. 

Just SE of NAC is the Sam Rayburn Reservoir with some nice Corp of Engineers campgrounds.  A short shakedown drive, nice campgrounds, any issues you are not far from MOT.  Always worth a couple of days to try all you learned on your own and everything you still need to learn.

I am here. I arrived at closing but I got to spend a few minutes in the coach. So far so good. One thin I did notice. The listing said it has a Tempupedic mattress. It has a new brad new mattress but I'm pretty sure it isn't a tempurpedic, which is important to me. I'll find out more tomorrow.

Perhaps there is a Public Health rule prohibiting licensed RV dealers from selling a coach with a "used" mattress?

I'm only half kidding - I know Salvation Army and Goodwill won't take ANY pre-owned bedding donations, even if in "like new" condition.

What a day! Many thanks to Brett Wolfe and his lovely wife. The coach is awesome. I learned a lot and have a long, steep and exciting learning curve ahead.

A few things need attending to and are being done today and tomorrow. I signed up for the Motorcade Club. If all goes well I should be on the road tomorrow night.

I went ahead and agreed to a full oil and chassis service, all filters, generator service, coolant flush and service, etc.

MOT was kind enough to provide a full fuel tank.

As mentioned before thanks to all on the forum that helped me along the way.

that is great news on the new coach.  You have a baseline now for maintenance with the service. I would stay close to MOT for a day and live in the coach to make sure everything works and head out a day later. It is already weds, and the difference between leaving thursday or friday is not much.
