5th Wheel Number Three

I PHONE 035

I went our for Tires for the Jayco and Yep I came  home with a New 5th Wheel. This time I really raised the bar in the 5th wheel league. We were looking at Mobile & Elite Suites. Well after a pile of wheeling and dealing and getting the Paws Up from his Hind Ass we did the deal.

I PHONE 031

Our choice was a Mobile Suite 38 RESB3 with vanity slide. This guy has a Walk in Closet. Three monster slides and a fourth slide in the bedroom for the dresser. Marti just loves the unit too. I keep telling everyone that Marti wanted this one but we all know it was a mutual decision. I love the four wheel disk brakes with the air ride suspension. The Coach also has six leveling jacks with automatic leveling push the button and walk away. Now you all know I didn’t walk away as I watched with my eyes Wide Open saying WOW did you see that. The coach goes up then down and side to side until level.

  We have a double wide Ice Box yep it has an Ice Maker with chilled water in the door. Yep we are really ruff-in it now. Along with the Sleep Number bed hey just like at home.     

I walked in the other day and yelled for Marti she said I’m up here. Ok I walked up looked in the bedroom and said where are you she said I’m in the closet ? I don’t think Marti will ever want to trade down again.

Hurricane was the next in the Pack. This guy is truly Marks dog the due a training I can’t spell the training but it’s got to do with Biting in a friendly way (is that possible ?)  Well then along came a Foster Dog (like any body Believes That Crap) Her name is Storm. She is a real lover girl too. DSC_0169

I have heard of a Lap Dog but she can be a Blanket Dog. When the weather changes in the house as in a Storm and Hurricane you better have a good hiding place. They put a new term to running in the house, a heard of cattle are Quieter than them two !!

This wars Christmas of 2010 Mark and MJ are really holding the two Kids for this picture with the Sheriff in the center.

Merry Christmas to all our Friends & Family

 

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !!

We had planned to spend the holidays in Texas a first for use. Well that didn’t happen as we are still home. Marti had Cataract surgery in Nov. well things didn’t go good as her sight was blurred. Well we have been seeing a couple Dr’s. Mari’s sight is getting better so we are thankful for that. We are hoping to roll out to Texas in early January.   

We had some problems with our Jayco Designer. I was told the undercarriage was wore out. I had a real problem with that too. Well the dealer was great as we were out of warranty. We had to replace one of the axles and all four tires. I’m wondering if there are more problems to come with the Texas & Alaska trips.   

Well with all this spare time I had to drive Marti every where (No Problem) Well I said why don’t we stop to look at a new trailer. Well I liked the Mobile Suites and our local RV dealer started carrying them. We both liked the 38 foot model a bit pricey but we like it. I guess that was a Dumb move on my part as, we both have bitten by the New Trailer Bug. I ‘m just not sure how this will work out, I guess time will tell.
