Christmas came early. We took delivery of our new Chaparral 336tsik 5th Wheel. Traded in our Georgetown Class A Coach. Come on spring - can't wait to take our first of many trips.

Yes - Avalon RV Center. This is our third RV that we've bought from Winn. He has taken great care of us not to mention the guys in Parts & Service are awesome as well.

Thank You!

I too bought from Winn, Great salesman. I will not publicly comment on the Service Dept. "Service advisor" until my second year warranty is up.
Enjoy your new rig.

Santa thought you 2 must have been very good this year!!! Enjoy your new rig. Maybe we will have weather like last year. My wife and I purchased our Coachmen last December. It was winterized and it was killing me because we had not used it yet. Then in February we had a week where temps were in the 70s. I said that's it! We're goin' camping! So I de-winterized it and we went to a near by SP. It was great, except we were the only ones camping in the whole campground!! So, let's hope we have a mild winter again this year!

Enjoy

That's awesome.

Forget "come on spring". Load that thing up and spend a few days down in Myrtle Beach or something. It'll be cold but winter camping is fun. Plus, the restaurants aren't crowded.

We go to Myrtle Beach every year. That thing called work comes first. MB is our plans after I retire. Our plan when I retire is to head to Myrtle Beach right after Christmas and back home the end of April. We have a Park Model on a seasonal site here in SWP.

Thank You.

I think we're really going to enjoy this change into a 5er from our MH. There are things I'm sure we'll miss like the big window, my wife getting up to grab something out of the fridge. I won't miss the added expense of owning the coach.
