9/27/2012 Our New Home!

(Knoxville, TN)

We left Bristol this morning around 9:30.  We had hoped to get on the road earlier but there was fog that was as thick as pea soup.

It finally lifted and we were on our way to Knoxville.  The last leg to travel to pick up our new home.  We’ve been looking forward to this day since we were six months in on owning the Cameo.

We found the dealership with no problem and were surprised it wasn’t bigger and closer to downtown Knoxville.  The dealership RVs For Less is situated on a major roadway on the outskirts of town. 

We were greeted warmly by all the staff and were quickly shown our new 5th wheel.  Remember now, we bought this sight unseen.  Of course we knew what we were getting because we had been to local dealers, we just hadn’t seen this one.

The door side of the 5th was hidden by trees and other RV’s so I couldn’t get that shot.

Another partial living room view.  To the left is a chair and small table.  We took the two recliners that came with this rig and put them in our old one.  We then brought “Bob’s chair” over and a small table.

The Bedroom.  We have four slides on this 5th wheel and it makes the bedroom very roomy.  We also have a walk-in closet.

To the left is a chest of drawers and mirror.  To the right a bar for hanging clothes and good sized shelves.  The extra two dining chairs are in there in this picture but they will stored elsewhere when we get set up and organized.

So, there it is!  Our new wheel estate!

Very Very Nice. Is that a dishwasher I see in the kitchen??
We are still in Dover until next week and then heading for Nashville for a week before going home to Florida.

We have been to that dealer and even though it does not look like much we have NEVER found any place else to give you the time and knowledge that they have. NO other place to buy a DRV.

Valerie said...

WOW!!!! IT IS GORGEOUS!!! All the space and love the outside colors. Jerry wants know if Bob has figured out the TV set-up? :-)
Have fun till we meet again

Snookie, great looking unit. We saw one like that, A Keystone Delux in the Camping World after we destroyed ou HR Presidential. Having a Tow unit, we hign't want to change trucks at this stage of our lives. Be carefull and enjoy the fun and work when problems arrive. Herb
