We did mange to get the 5th wheel out several times after we had the front axle replaced. Jon did some forum readings and found that the fading front cap on the RV was a known problem by Heartland. He negotiated a settlement, but found further problems including a rotting bedroom slide and broken bed.
In October we bid farewell to the Greystone and picked up our 'new' Forest River Wildcat. This one is nearly five feet shorter and 2500 pounds lighter. It is laid out like our last Cougar, except it does have a bedroom slide. After making some alterations and 'improvements' (including removing the sleeper sofa and replacing it with a rocker/recliner) we are set to move south for the winter. The Christmas tree and decorations are down and most of the items we will need for the winter are loaded. We plan to head to Charlotte, NC on Monday the 31st. We will spend about a week there watching over two grandsons before making it to Tampa and MacDill AFB.
But mother nature is not going to let us out easy. We've had plenty of snow in the past week. That snow blower bought in October 2011 has gotten a little use in December 2012.
Sunday Morning and had to clear some more snow. Matt stopped to say goodbye.
Have a few more things to load and later today will hook it all up so we can be moving early.
