Thanks to everyone who welcomed me to the boards a few weeks ago. I've been busy with work (this is the "Christmas rush" for my business), and busy making preperations for our North trail 32QBSS. Well, yesterday we took delivery!!!!!! The truck did very well on the way home (about an hour and a half drive), and I didn't do too bad, either. I know bigger rigs exist, but the NT32QBSS is alot of rig to pull. Just takes some extra time, and some extra caution.
Sorry to say, we aren't staying in it this weekend. We have a wedding and some other obligations to fullfill. But, I did bring it home last evening to load all of our gear into it, and decided to park it in front of the house, and hang out. My wife was in seventh heaven organizing and placing items, planning and jabbering about everything. The neighbors all came over to check things out, and before too long, the adrenaline and excitement gave way to the beer and Crown Royal, and it stayed there all night!! The kids were up first thing this morning, eating breakfast in the RV. I think next weekend may be our first weekend to break it in!
I bought the rig from RV Wholesalers in Lakeview, Ohio. All in all, I recieved good customer service. The technicians there are on top of their game, and were great. I can tell you the sales departments communication with the customer left alot to be desired. Kind of an odd feeling to shell out 25K and not really know what is going on, when, or who is doing what. And some of the minutia of the deal seemed to evaporate at the last minute. For instance, the installation of the Equalizer hitch. The salesman promised free installation, only to tell me yesterday that they couldn't do that, and I'd have to pay the $100.00 for the service. This kind of thing really chaps my rear! It's a game of guts, really. The dealership figures they can squeeze a bit more out you at the last minute. And what am I going to do about it? I'm there, and I'm excited. The wife and kids are there, and they're excited. "He'll pay. He won't back out now. Not over a hundred dollars". So I didn't appreciate that too much. But, again, partially my fault. Should have gotten it in writing.
But, I'm not going to allow a few minor details spoil the excitement of the whole affair! The season is winding down, but we're hopeful to get out 3 or 4 times before we shut it down for the winter. Thanks again for the friendly welcome, and maybe we'll cross paths with some of you!
