Taking the plunge
...now I just hope someone put water in the pool. :)
Signed the papers yesterday on a new 2018 Montana 3950BR. Scheduled to take delivery a week from Tuesday.
Traded in our TT for the new 5er. Going to try our hand at full-timing. Should be quite an experience. Hopefully a good one.
Towing with a 2016 F-350 Diesel Dually, 8 ft bed. Love the truck, but it didn't come with the 5th wheel/gooseneck prep. I've got the OEM parts in hand for that, but have to wait a few days to get it installed.
Went with a 25k B&W puck hitch. Obviously more than I need today, but I know I'll want that capacity for our next rig. We eyed the DRV 24k GVWR units heavily, but I couldn't quite pull the trigger this time. That will require a TV with taller gears than my current one. Next time.
I've had a pile of things added. Inverter, 4 6-volt batteries, Washer/Dryer, HD DirecTV dish (automagic satellite finder), EMS, 3rd AC (cuz, ya know, more AC!) plus a number of smaller tweaks.
I guess my idea of 'roughing it' is poor wifi.
Anyway, the move from TT to 5er is exciting for us. DW and I can't stop babbling like idiots. (Admittedly, this isn't really a new condition.)
Looking through the 5er forums now. I'm sure I'll have the standard boatload of questions soon.
