Got it home this afternoon after stopping at the scales on the way home (see separate thread on those results).
Amazingly, I got it backed into the driveway on the second try. Hardly noticed much difference from my old Cameo LXI as far as length and handling goes.
Only problem is that I couldn't hook up to 110 at home as the adapter they gave me at the dealer was backwards. I needed a female 50 amp to a male 30 amp (to go down to 15 amp), but I had a male 50 amp and a female 30 amp connector - so down to the parts store tomorrow.
The 50 miles that I towed it was pretty uneventful. Nothing out of place when I arrived, but three drawers were somewhat out (1 in kitchen and two in bedroom). I'll install the catches that someone else has suggested to solve that problem.
Tomorrow, we'll make up the bed and get it ready for our first camping trip (if you can call separate den, king bed and fireplace camping) which should be about ten days from now.
Dealer was really great. I did the PDI on the unit last Friday when it first came back from the factory (dealer rejected it when he first saw it as there were some dings on the facia around the slides and the factory decided it could do a better job then sending parts to the dealer). Everything that I had written up was taken care of.
Wish us luck. We figure that we have about ten more years of this ahead of us before we live a more sedate lifestyle (we've been doing this since 1975) and we want this to be our last unit.
