Ok here is a crappy teaser pic I snaped with the crack berry. Its in line for prep., and the Goose Box showed up today...it looks a lot bigger now that its not packed in between a lot full of trailers. At the sales lot they were stacked up....I hope I dont need a bigger truck.

Cool Beans Sarge !
Great floorplan and colors !

That's the one thing I wish our 5er had now, a 'floating island' so it's more open...
but the amount of storage we have is awesome (too much, as the wife NEEDS to fill it up!)

Nice pics of yours here:

you already have the airbags, so you're ready !

Yup thats the one, we are super excited. We stopped up last night to bring the insurance cards, so we went down to see it.

I talked to the service manager, and he was real impressed with the Goose Box. He never sold one so he is real interested to see how it works and how it "feels" on the trailer.

I wish it were Friday, I think I may park it in the driveway next week and have the first camp out and beers in it.

BTW I think my truck is jealous becuase the driver side window motor decided to become extremely loud today. Looks like it will get a new regulator this week too.

Actually that's not a bad idea for a shakedown cruise !
We couldn't do that with the winding driveway, but stay 5 miles from the house

let's you know what tweaks the dealer has to make, what you're missing in the rv, and it's a short walk into the house to get it if need be !

then next time you go out at least the rv is ready so all you have to do is enjoy the ride !!!

I hope there arent many tweak that the dealer will have to make. This was actually a demo unit that the dealer used at shows so its been towed a little locally.

I was going to have them put the slide protectors on, but they were special order and I didnt want to delay it any more. I will have them installed at the end of the season.

A few of the guys from the firehouse are going to come over for the first opening in the driveway next week so it should be a good time. The wife has been buying stuff for it soI have to open it up anyway so she can load it up.

Is it Friday yet?

She would get tired quick...she has a hard time focusing on 1 thing for any amount of time so I wouldnt even ask her...

I am however a little nervous about picking that thing up though, the size was definately intimidating. But I guess its like riding a bike, It cant be all that different from a bumper pull, or GN.
