Talking Got one

The wife and I signed papers on our new 5th wheel tonight. We purchased a Laredo 29GS by Keystone. The dealer knocked 25% off sticker and a free slide hitch. Well it is not free but he would not come off the sticker any more but I got the hitch. We spent the last few months looking and had really not decided untill tonight. It has a kitchen and living room slide all the others we found with this lay out were out of our price range.http://www.keystone-laredo.com/index...loorplans#29GS The financing will go through tomorrow.
This is our first RV of any type and plan to live in it at some point in the future, when we find land. Untill then I will have a dubing studio set up in it for my company . Any way we are excited and a little nervious just wanted to share.

Congratulations on your new fiver! You'll love camping, if you can call living in an air conditioned, central heated, wheeled apartment with microwave, color TV, stereo, etc., etc., etc., camping. I know that we love ours and we also hope to live in ours in the future.

Well, congrats!

So when are going camping? We can race: My cummins and laredo vs your cummins and laredo. First one to the campground wins!

Congratulations on your new purchase.

What options if any did you get? Generator size? A/C size? Ice maker? Ceiling fans?

HEY, this is camping, remember?

Enjoy - - it is a great way to travel. When we visit someone that has room in their yard and we stay there, they always tell us we should come in and stay with them. We always thank them, shoot the breeze a little, go out, put out the slides, get everything all set, then invite them in for a cup of coffee. Guess where we all spend the time while we are there? In their house? NOPE. in the fiver. Luv it.

Thumbs up If you guys will make it Cummins + Keystone,,,,,

Then I can join in the party too!
Congrads on the new rig VPI. We have a Keystone Cougar which has a similar floor-plan with double slides.

It sure makes it roomy inside. We have been very happy with ours and hope ya'll enjoy yours as much as we do.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, So,,,,, Where's the meeting place and when?

Hey RR, anywhere between here and there works for me. How about ashville/maggie valley/ gatlinburg? How far for you? It would be about 4 hours from here.

Hmmm... less if I can get VPI to race me!

trailblazenyj: I was thinking that I would just hook a tow strap behind you, let you pull me up there then pass. Best of both worlds great fuel economy and I still win.
