Getting closer

Trying to get thru this winter that keeps dumping SNOW..
and my thoughts are to get rig... i got Dr appts the 1st few weeks of April,  then more stuff on May 7...
so the 3 week window of nothing will allow me to fly out, & travel home & add mods..
Well my deliver date is getting pushed further & further out.. actually into May now...
Well Connie my saleswoman had a few stock units due to arrive beginning of April 
Both are basically the same as mine, except some interior color differs, & 1 has deluxe paint.

so guess what...  i signed up for the deluxe paint one
So once unit is in, i'll pay it off, get title & paper work & bring to my Insurance & registry & get it legal
Then i'll book a flight & be ready to head out week of 16th

2 months til arrival

Delivery time from Lewis RV, still saying mid April [2 months to go]
The wait is killing me, but really wanna wait til Winter is near done.
Seeing some pics of 2019 changes
one is the new configuration of window, 
i guess the change was to be more unified between 2 models, 
but also for size of new Acrylic windows too [i stayed with glass]
This shot is what mine will look like


But in this down time of winter i am able to buy some things to make life on the road better
Got a rear door ladder, & will mount bike rack on that, along with a Trashroo bag
Sumo Springs to help with sway,  and a Cab window cover for privacy
a WeBoost for boosting cell coverage,  and a Garmin 660 RV GPS to help me find my way
Got my surge protector to protect my electronics when i plug in
Plus some other misc stuff.. but the rest will have to wait til i get unit

Oh, and i did get a small flag made up to fly off my rear ladder


Now lets hope winter gets this cold & snow out of its system over the next few months
