RVs Are Rolling
RVs are rolling north, one after the other, out of Florida. Thank you for visiting and spending your money here so we don't have to pay income tax. And thank you for leaving so we can finally camp before the heat hits too hard next month.

They're also rolling out of Elkhart County, IN! (80% of all RV's are built in Elkhart County.) Came through there on Friday and saw lots of them going east and west on I-80. So if you've ordered one recently - it's on it's way!

I hope so!!! I have one on order since Feb. 18th. My only question now is will it be a 2017 or 2018? It looks as if the 2018's are now in production as they are on the lots!

This RV owner will be headed down to FL in a couple of weeks but we are only staying a few days.

ProCharger, I see that you are from Warrenton, so I'm guessing that you bought from Bill Thomas in Wentzville? What did you buy? And, yes, I'm guessing thagt when it comes in, the MSRP will show it as a 2018 rather than a 2017.
Congratulations on your purchase.

Lol, I'll be out of Arizona the 3rd week of this month. Just waiting for enough snow to melt so I can get into my campground.

Actually we bought from 47 West in Troy. It is about the same distance for me. I actually never spoke to Bill Thomas, they didn't carry what we were looking at. They had some Salems that were similar but we decided on a Grey Wolf 26DBH over the Salems for a few small reasons. Did a lot of internet pricing around the country, contacted 47 West and basically said all BS aside quote me as low/as close as you can to my lowest I found. Ended up being about $500 more with a few extras on top of the internet prices did not include. Was close enough for me to not have to drive and schedule time off.
The wait hasn't been bad but we were reluctant to make Memorial reservations at first and that was a mistake...we found a place with full hookup but it is a little outside of what we were looking to get. Might be our first camp and was hoping to have concrete, if not gravel. Oh well.
We always tent camped in Ray Behrens and Indian Creek at Mark Twain, those with full hookup were gone in about 2 days.
Should be a fun learning experience!
Edit: small world, my wife and her family is from Franklin County.

Speaking of rolling RV's.....a tornado hit Bill Thomas a few weeks ago. That is a fifth wheel trailer that was on display that was rolled off the concrete pad to it's right....basically crushed. They were scooping it all up and dumping it in the dumpster with a skid loader by the time I was on my way home. Was quite a bit of damage throughout Wentzville including about a 12'x8' highway sign just snapped off right in front of Bill Thomas maybe 100 yards from that trailer. Was supposibly an ef-1.

W-O-W...what a mess! We were in Arizona for most of January and all of February, but we kept hearing about bad weather in the STL area. 
Sounds like you got a great deal on your Grey Wolf. Congratulations, again!
