Update! Roll Out Date!

NEWS FLASH!

Got an email from RVW today stating the tenative roll-out date for our Rockwood 8280SS will be June 18. They expect delivery in 7 to 10 days there after. Odds are we will have the trailer home by 4th of July.

Just another reason to celibrate.

For those keeping score we ordered on May 9.

We have the hitch installed (clunk, clunk, clunk...dang it...put a bungee on that thing!!) and all the stuff we have rounded up to load up the trailer is carefully checklisted, stacked in the basement. All there is to do now is wait!

Radio, you got a nice rig but I have one question? The sofa there on the arm rest just to the in side above the seat, is that dark spot on the edge a solid color line?

I have no clue...

I think it's just an artifact of the image being made in dim light with an inexpensive digital camera. Dave Prosser, the RVW sales guy, was nice enough to run out and snap these. I told him not to worry about putting the slide out or taking too much time. I have not seen the trailer in person and won't until July 5th.

There seems to be little streaks of different colors in the fabric. Perhaps several of these streaks came together at the seam?

It sort of looks like the couch is torn there, doesn't it??
