New Rig

Last Monday, Brenda and I decided to take a ride down to PPL and look at MH and 5th wheels.
Brenda is not really interested in 5th wheels as she likes to get up and move around while we are travelling.
We had looked at many (20-25) MH and 5 or 6 5th wheels. We had been there about 2 hours and we couldn't find anything that we really liked.
We were both getting tired and wanted to leave before the traffic got too bad.
There was a rig on the very back row of MH (they have about 300 rv's on site there) that I wanted to look at. As we approached it the sign in the windshield said "way too much for your budget", so we skipped it. 2 rigs to the right was a clean looking 37' rig with 4 slides that had a price that we might be able to live with.

It is 2006 Holiday Rambler Neptune XL with a 5.9L Cummins diesel and Allison transmission.
After looking through it, Brenda suggested that I might like to drive it.
We contacted a salesman, and took it for a drive. It was a dream to drive and a much different ride than our present coach. It has an air ride suspension, so it is much smoother than the spring and shocks on the Southwind.
The floor plan is nice and it looks comfortable. The bedroom can be closed off if needed, but that door has to be closed if you want to use the sink. A small problem that we can easily live with.
Brenda has to have a 4 door refrigerator and this one has one. I may be funny, but I don't want it in a slide and it is not, so both of us are happy.

Wednesday, I took the Southwind down for them to evaluate the condition, and after about 6 hours it was determined that we had reached an amicable price difference in our coach an the new one. We are planning to close on it on Nov. 30.

We are looking forward to our new home, and we hope it is a reliable home for many years.

Ta ta for now
