By, By Baby. Been a good run

Been a good run, thanks for all those that helped, and I hope I helped others.
Have made so many life long friends on here, and also by just owning a FT.
When I worked for FT, I asked the salesman why the FT people were so cool. He said because they worked hard for their money, not spoon fed. I made so many lifelong friends with customers, and went out to dinner with many Awesome people.
Cheers
Chris

P.S. 3126 Cats are NOT throw away motors!

Chris,

While it may be "farewell" to your coach, we hope you remain an active member of Foreforums.  The greatest asset of this forum is members who participate, share knowledge, and answer questions.  The coach may have a new owner, but your knowledge is still there and is a great resource for others.

Congratulations. I think you will find that everything has been resolved for you prior. Good choice on your part IMO. Upper right side of this page is the search box. Lots of great information there. If you're going to be using it a bunch get a TSD fuel card, it helps to take the sting out of the pump price a bit. Enjoy

Thanks, all, for the warm welcomes. 

Our family was full time on the road for many years, but we sold our Newell when we settled back down for middle and high school a few years ago.  Foretravel is about the only rig we would consider for our rebound relationship with RVing, ha ha.

Chris clearly took great care and poured a lot of love into this machine, so it makes it easy to pick up from where he left off.  I have a number of questions and, of course, some "enhancements" planned.  I'll start new threads for them in due time.
