Bringing the baby home
We brought our new TT home today, after a 3-hour walk-through at the dealership. The tech was a little surprised at how much nothing we know about any of this, but once he got that, he was very patient, explained everything in words of one syllable, and showed us how to do what needs to be done. I taped it all with my iPhone, but the most critical part, the hook-up, didn't tape because I was out of storage. Aaarrrrrgh.
We drove home with two full propane tanks and two batteries, although they drained the water - I nearly cried to see that precious water being dumped onto the lot. The Sequoia handled it beautifully, even up the steep hills around home. We pulled in to the wider of our two driveways - we have a long narrow oval driveway with a landscaped island in the middle. The island and driveway are lined with small granite boulders, about a dozen of which we had to take out to protect the tires. But we were able to make the turn, which is a HUGE relief. We still can't store it here, but at least we can bring it here to load. Our friend came over to check it out and pronounced it a top -of-the-line coach.
Annnd... we're off!
Tomorrow we move in, and Friday we go to the scales and then off for a weekend with our experienced friends.
