Looking really good Roy!

Didja get up on the roof and inspect the sealing and caulking job?
Remember that they will fix any leaks under warranty, but they can't fix the damage already being done by water in the walls and ceiling - it just starts the slow death of dry-rot and mold..

Yes, the rear living room is raised 3 steps.

Howdy Folks........
Thanks for all the kind words.......
She towed well from Meridian ID to Idaho Falls ID today........9.1 mpg at 65 mph for the trip.
Had a comfy night last night. Tonight we are totally self contained tonight.
Tested out the generator for awhile tonight while Lynn and little Theresa watched TV. We also ran the 5100 Watt fireplace. Now we are heating with the LP furnace only. About 20°F with light snow. The insulated windows do much better than the Raptor with single pane glass.

More later folks........

Some snow is a good way to test it out!

That's pretty cool... Haven't seen a layout with a raised rear living room....and we've been looking at lots of 5ers over the last 6 months...it must give you tons of storage underneath....good luck on your journey home!!

Veeerrrryyy nice, Roy. I see some family resemblance to our 5er - but only a tiny bit. It sounds like you made a great choice and a 4 season unit vs the usual 2-1/2 - 3 (and in my dreams)
