Motor Home has arrived...yay...not so fast!

It has been an interesting few days!  We had lunch with Ted's classmate Steve and his wife Kathe on Tuesday.  We had a nice lunch and caught up with them and their new gorgeous SUV.  Since we were over by Ideal Plumbing, Heating and Air, my last place of work, we stopped by and said hello to friends that still work there and the owner, Don Teemsma.  I always enjoy stopping by and seeing how everything is going!  In the late afternoon we headed home.

Wednesday morning we left the campground to have lunch with Dottie Bates Stamper.  She went to high school with Ted and is a kick!  It's alway fun to see Dottie and love her sense of humor!  On the way to meet her we got to an area with cell service, and had a call from Scott at La Mesa RV!  He said he had news for us and was sure I would want to call back as soon as possible!  Yikes, I could barely dial the phone I was excited and nervous!  Our new motorhome was due in on the 21st and we knew it had left the factory and was at the transportation company.

When I finally got Scott on the phone, he told me it was about time I called him!  Our RV had arrived Tuesday afternoon!  He told us we could come see it, and reminded us they needed to get it cleaned up and check it all out.  We met Dottie and had a great lunch and then headed to see the motorhome!

They took us back there and we came around the corner and man it looked huge...and beautiful!  We didn't exactly know what the paint design and colors would be on the 2014 model.  We had picked out the color based on the 2012 and 2013 colors, but every year they change the design and colors a little!  So that was the first hurdle out of the way!

We got inside and the floor was different than we thought.  It wasn't the shiny tile they used to put in and at first I was disappointed.  After they opened the slides, I decided I really liked it and it wouldn't be slippery when wet!  I saw the counter tops right away and loved the colors.  They look very warm.  That was another thing we didn't know the color of and I really was happy with it!  We looked all around and were really happy.  We discovered a couple of small things that were fixable and then...Ted went outside!

He looked up on the roof and only saw two air conditioners.  Our salesman, Andres, got out a ladder and climbed up and sure enough there were only two, not three and the generator was the smaller one.  This doesn't sound like a big deal and most of the time, we have found two to be plenty, but we were in Indiana and it was 108 degrees and one of our air conditioners went out.  One air conditioner would not cool it down or even keep it cool so we decided it was important to us.

Long story but they have reordered our motor home, exactly like it this one, except with 3 air conditioners and the larger generator.  We also noted one item that was a production item problem with electrical switches in the wrong place but everything else will be the same.  We also requested a side by side refrigerator instead of the four door, but not sure if they will get a different refrigerator or not.   We are very happy with our choices and sad we have to wait until August to get the new one!  They have given us a new date of August 10th.

I have a good signal tonight so I have added LOTS of pictures, just hope it will post!

The bed spread was not the one we requested but they will get the right one for us!

This gives you an idea of what our new home will look like...I just hope we get it soon!  We have had to change our travel plans for July and August and of course our open house!  We have a commitment in Chama, New Mexico on August 26th so we hope the new motor home will arrive on time and is perfect!  We will keep you posted on our open house!

Excited about our new home..."Ain't Life Grand!"
