And it is due to arrive next Tuesday....eight weeks to the day after we ordered it. Looking forward to getting in it and trying it out. The. The fun will begin to select a hitch and a new fifth wheel...likely the Sabre 34TBOK. We're moving up from a Rockwood Roo 19 hybrid and a Toyota Highlander. Let the fun begin.
