Joined the 5er club!

Hey everyone. Well! We sold our travel trailer, and bought a 5th wheel last week! Really excited. Its going to be a long wait til spring! We have more snow on the ground than we have had in years, so I cant even get out to tinker and pack all our stuff in it. We are planning a trip spring the first part of April to Kentucky. Thinking of staying at the Louisville south KOA. Anyone ever been there?
its a 2008 Forest River Cardinal 33LE. I feel we got a great deal too. You will see lurking in the 5th wheel forums now!

Yes I know, everyone likes pictures, but that will have to wait a few weeks for the weather to break!

    Congrats on the new 5er. You made a great choice. We have a 2010 Cardinal and we are very happy w/ it. We are just across the state line in northern Indiana.
