I'll never forget the excitement when picking up our newly ordered 2008 Dynasty. We ordered it in January 2007 at Giant RV in Palm Desert, CA, with delivery in April 2007. The excitement of our first motorhome was like waking up on Christmas morning.
Back home in TN, we rented a Chevrolet Cobalt to drive from TN to AR to pick up a new 2007 Honda CR-V. They were the only dealer in a 300 mile radius that had the color and options that I wanted (the newly designed Honda CR-V was just coming out). We then drove to the house in California to stock up the Honda so we could load up the new Dynasty in Oregon.
We toured the California and Oregon coast working our way to Coburg, OR. Our salesman from California met us at the factory as we chose a 'factory delivery' ($1,200 option). We had a tech show us everything on the coach for two full days (8 hrs. each day). During the PDI, they found a few things that needed adjustment (air horn not working and hydraulic levelers would extend all the way taking the whole coach off of the ground). All fixed.
The Dynasty had 75 miles on the odometer. I always love that new car/coach smell !
After our two days of PDI, I took the Honda to a hitch shop in Coburg that Monaco used to have the Blue Ox base plate and the M & G supplemental braking installed.
We were then ready to start the adventure. Good memories!
Safe travels,
MM.
