Today was the day! We went to LaMesa RV and took delivery of my new beautiful Navion 24H! We got there just a bit after 10 am and started out with moving our stuff out of the old RV and into the new one.
While the storage is a bit limited compared to that of the old RV, there is lots of just plain living room, and we're going to manage to get all we need into the little cubbies. We're going to have a challenge to pare down our travel clothes enough, to be sure.
We got the financials all done, papers all signed, and then the men got to work with getting my nice RealWheels tire covers switched. They wouldn't fit. Wheels are a different size. :/ Then they set about switching my passenger side swivel seat to the new one. Nope. Didn't fit. *sigh* They are going to get metal valve stems installed, though, and they will get the valves in there replaced to take the metal valve stem extenders. And they will rivet these onto the tire covers that ARE on the RV. And they will let me order a new swivel, and they will reimburse me. Coolness.
After that, we drove over to Camping World to get a few things to trick her out. We got step covers and a new entry rug. We bought little levels, and a couple other things. Camping World is always fun.
Our next errand was Little Caesar's and then the grocery. Jack decorated the pizza when we got home, adding onions, green olives, and extra cheese.
So... great time, great day!

Wow Janee, that Navion does have a beautiful interior. Does it take long to move the slideout out? I assume it is powered somehow. Do you need to level the motor home before operating the slideout? I would be playing "On the Road Again." ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey sis...so when are you bringing that new camper back Indy's way? I didn't see any pictures of the new one, so I am not sure how Jim knows what it looks like. I guess I will have to go to the Internet to find what it looks like. Or, YOU could post some pictures!
ReplyDeleteNothing new here, really...just working my fool head off, it seems. Looking forward to the kids and the Easter egg hunt on Sunday. They always seem to really love that, and so does Nana. Maybe this year it will be without coats on - supposed to be up to 65! YEAH.
Love you...sis.
Hey we need pictures of you guys standing in front of it looking proud. So did you get the APRS transferred OK?

Shouldn't you have said "our" new RV?
ReplyDeleteJim, the little slide comes out in about 10 seconds, with a push of a switch!
ReplyDeleteAnnette, I know that I will have lots of pics, but haven't done that yet. I hope your Easter is coatless and fun!
Ray, I moved the APRS stuff over to the new rig. I got a kit for reinstalling the stick-on antenna, and now I just have to install it! I think that will happen today.
Anonymous, no.
