    We loved our first weekend. spent most of the days inside getting use to the surroundings and nights outside by fire then finished off watching a little tv. There were 2 HD televisions in the unit and got 12 channals so had a lot of relaxation. Very happy we did the 5ver plunge. Heading out to Ivy Lea this weekend and a week at Sandbanks.

    Got the new 5er in the driveway. Chose the Superglide hitch (model 2700), pretty slick. The only thing is you have to be within a 10 degree angle to hitch and un-hitch. Made that mistake the first time un-hitching and the jaws didn't want to open but once I figured out we were off a bit, that was easy enough to correct. we re-hitched (easy) and un-hitched. Been parked in the driveway since Thursday, too busy with work. Measured the fenders and sag in the back a little over 3 inches and 1/4 of an inch on the front. Not sure what it all means but I have Airlift airbags installed Thursday and had new 10 ply Michelins LTX A/T2 installed. Have to measure the clearance between bed rails and 5h wheel (just for fun) and then go weigh. can't do that until Saturday
    Anxious about weigh in but I think I'll be pretty close. Not really sure, maybe right on, maybe a couple hundred pounds over.... hard to say.
    How are you enjoying your fifth wheel?
