Gus and Deb, That brand new XLT you saw entering HTP in Va Beach would of been the wife and I. Just picked it up at Chesapeake RV Solutions that afternoon and did the shakedown there. I can't believe that I'm just seeing the post as I read this forum all the time (lurking)...

OK The shakedown cruise is over. We did the walkthrough on Saturday at Chesapeake RV Solutions with very, and I do mean very few issues. It took the full 4 hours and then some. Todd the tech that walked us through everthing was great. Had answers to almost everthing we asked, and we asked...
