We got it in Indiana - Total Value RV - can't say ENOUGH good things about them -- their service manager was out at the rig last night at 6:30PM swapping some knobs on our outside shower because they "matched the paint job on the rig better" WOW what customer service!
Just so Total Value gets all the credit - go here for my comments about the dealership:

Russell,
A little later than I had planned Russell - we have a 8:00AM at Dan's Hitch - to install the "other" parts of our Kar Guard that I 'forgot' to give to them yesterday (love those self inflicted gunshot wounds!)
Should be on the road by 9:00 AM.
Any recommendations for a big rig friendly campground off I65 in lower KY, close to the TN border?

Wow! Nice indeed! So where are you parking it full time. You retire in December so there must be a semi permanent rv park in Huntsville. Some of us frogs might want to come visit

Ya. He won't be needing it for 18 months. So letting several of us use it should help to keep it from dry rotting. I'll use it for a west coast run.

Bob we have stayed at the KOA in Bowling Green many times. The have pull throughout 's and easy in east out. Nice restaurant on the corner. I forget the name.
Also just north of Nashville is a nice CG called Nashville Country RV. Both are nice and easy parking. The KOA is about 7 hours south of Elkhart and Nashville Country is only a hour further.

We finally found the dream team solution: buy a Berkshire! It has not only the Cummins ISL9 engine (450HP @ 2100 RPM, 1250 LB/FT @ 1400RPM), but sports the Allison 3000 MH 6-speed transmission– a match made in RV heaven!
Yep, pulled the trigger and signed for the new “Bear Cave” today! Looking forward to many happy years of touring the USA and Canada with the love of my life, Anne-Marie (6Actual).
Retirement for both of us comes next December so we have about 18 months to install all the mods and make furniture changes as necessary and then we hit the road Fulltime 31 DEC 2017!

It is beautiful, hope you have a second lifetime enjoying it.
