Thanks everybody. Part of rushing this trip home as I'm trying to save as much vacation time as possible. I am still working from home, and I'm hoping to leave a week earlier and maybe try and get into the keys for a few days before wandering back up to Tampa area, where we will spend the winter.
On my last TT, the onboard water pump did not work, which we discovered on our first boondocking trip :( It was the only system we did not test. One of the reasons we picked this dealership that is further away, is because of their reputation.
Because of the lateness with the truck delivery, We're going to struggle getting the trailer completely set up for our extended travel plans. I think it's going to be just the best we can do, and worry about getting things set up and organized once we get to FL. It doesn't help, my best friend is coming through the area the last weekend in Sept, and I fear the truck will pick that week to show up. Weekend after that is free, but I literally can't plan anything the following weekend due to a med procedure earlier that week.
I'm blessed to have a wife that could tow the TT. 5er is new to both of us, so this will be interesting.
She and I are both worried about how I'm going to handle retirement. I'm through and through project guy. I've also looked at every RV we have owned as a clean slate project :) For me, it's always about the destination, not the journey.
It's getting exciting, not too much longer! We've only been looking at 5th wheels for about 5 years now.
