MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT EARLY

Yep, you heard it hear first!  Some of you already know about this but didn't know when it was going to happen.... Our new 5th wheel was delivered to dealership on Friday and we went over within 1/2 hour to check it out. It has to be cleaned, washed and prepped before we can take possession on Wednesday.  Now wouldn't you know it-Mr Weatherman has predicted 3-4 inches of snow starting Tuesday night!  Those of you who know my husband, Dick, know that once the salt is put on the roads, his truck is parked in the garage until next spring. Keep your fingers crossed that if we get some snow that it is very light and no salt is put down!!!Yeah, I know, I am asking for a miracle.  But I wanted to see it in on our patio so I can go in and start arranging our belongings.  (Not really, I just want to have a RV party and celebrate with a few bubblies....)  Okay, I will shut up and show you some pictures:

This unit is 35 ft long with a total of 3 slides. It is made by Jayco. Now for the inside.


There is a slide on both sides of the dinnin/living room. Huge window in back and where the dinette table is.

See what I mean by the large windows.  That will be so nice when we camp on the lake shore. I love how the curtains are drapped at the top (now boxed in valances!).  The table has a leaf so the table will seat 5 very comfortably.

I took the pictures going from the back then going left around the unit.  This is another cool thing we both will enjoy on those cool mornings/evenings. Electric fireplace with 40" flat screen above the cabinet showing in the photo. (I didn't get a very good shot that included the TV). Inside the cabinet is the DVD-Stero AM/FM radio which is also wired so we can hear it outside thru speakers.

This is my cool pantry (pull out) and the stairs going up to bathroom (on left) and bedroom straight ahead. (Oh, I also have central vacumn cleaner!). On the left is the kitchen counter/sink and then

you can now see the whole kitchen.  I even have a window I can look out while cooking/doing dishes. In the next slide out you will see the stove (with microwave above it).  Next comes something else I really wanted:

My 12 ft. refrigerator/freezer. When you open the 2 doors at bottom the shelves go straight across so I will have lots of room for those big containers of baked beans and potatoe salad. (ooh that sounds so good right now!) In this photo you can see the stove and micro better.

Next to the refrigerator is the cool couch.  As many of you know, I have a problem with snoring so now I will have a nice BIG couch to sleep on. It pulls out to a queen bed and then you have to pump up the mattress (with a switch I believe). 


Now this is the bedroom with a KING bed.  I think now we will all be able to sleep in this bed. Sheena will be able to sleep without crowding us.  I know you are thinking why do we need this if I have to sleep on the couch?  Well I am hoping my breath rights will keep the noise down some. LOL

This is another feature I LOVE.  A walk-in closet.  Those shelves in the back will be great to store all my Stampin Up supplies and more!   We have lots of cupboards for storage in this and hopefully I won't have them all filled up! LOL

Well I am sure you are bored by now but I am so excited and had to share with my family and friends.  This is where Dick & I will be living from May thru Oct every year.  Life is sooo good right now.  Well I had better shut this down and get some shut eye. Geez, it is almost 1:30 already.  Thanks for stopping by and next time I will share some of my cards and stuff I have been making.  KEEP SMILING!!!!!

  2. so happy for you. Our 5th wheel is similar with all the slides & elec fireplace. These trailers that we have are what they call full timers trailers, we can live in them all year. We'd love to see you down here by us for a month or so this winter. Guess that won't happen if Dick stores the truck though. Hope we get to see it before it is all "broke in". Hugs, Lorna & Ed

  3. Very, very nice Lois!! Brings back a lot of memories for me. You guys will never want to come back home after staying in this -- this will become your main house and the other will become your "camping/rustic cabin" house. Your winter is going to go by so S L O W now.
