On The Road Again! We've put the fire behind us.

On August 29th this year, we had a complete loss of our tow vehicle, FW and personal possessions. We've worked through the insurance claims and we finally hit the road last weekend for our shake down cruise in our brand new TV, TT and even have a boat now.

Before:
2013 Ford F350 Diesel SRW 4x4
2014 Grand Design Reflection 337RLS FW



After:
2016 Ford F350 Diesel SRW 4x4
2017 Grand Design Reflection 297RSTS TT
2017 Alumacraft fishing boat and 9.9 HP Mercury motor
4 Boys Manufacturing automatic electric boat hoist



Let's go fishin!

    Hopefully the rest of your journeys are less eventful.

    Not trying to derail, but did you post a thread about the original incident? Would be interesting to know the details.

    We were devastated. We were 15 miles from the nearest town, 1800 miles from home and all we had were the clothes on our back and our doggie. It's been a crazy time, but the worst is over.
