Dude!
Two issues
1)  has not stopped raining since I got her home.  (Lots of stocking and inside cleaning getting done)
2)  I can't get my profile pic right!
3)  Just love sitting inside and chilling during a rain storm.

Moby,
The rain is good luck! When we brought the bus home, we had a huge thunderstorm set in. We sat in the bus while it rained and blew, and had a great time.
Since then we have been to 30 states in it. 28 in the last year.
Glad she's home and you're having fun.

Y'all told me what an outstanding unit the GV is, and I just figured you were biased.
I know you're all right!
The trip home was in-eventful but because I'm new, it took longer than it would have for any of you.  It almost felt as if the more I rode her, the better she was driving - yea, silly I know.  VERY impressed with her ability to climb hills.
Folks, EVERYTHING works!  Heck, I wish I worked as well as she does when I'm her relative age.  Central vac, even the clock in the state room.
Spent today wiring up 50 amp shore power and cleaning the interior.  All I can say is thank goodness for Old English!
Some accessibility mods to do, but I wanna hit the road!

Moby,

As the new owner of a U225, there are two unique things that you will want to check out.

One is the bulkheads-- very well covered here in the Foreforum-- a feature shared with most other Foretravels.

The other is your fairly unique suspension: Torsilastic by B.F. Goodrich.  You need to check RIDE HEIGHT. Just put "Torsilastic ride height" in the search feature at the top right of the page.  Post ride height AND number of shims at each wheel position and we can help from there.
