Just picked my new 5th wheel. Spent the night at the dealer since it was a long ride out.

Rodney,
Looks like we did !the trains weren't to bad since it was a holiday weekend they did not come thought that often. What did annoy me was the damn trash truck at 5 am pulling right up next to us. I have to say Brannon and everyone else @ RV Nation were very accommodating.

You got lucky! We had trains every half hour or so all night long and since Couch's is between two crossings, they blew the horn all the way past. Only about 50 yards away as you know. We did miss trash day though... We bought from Brannon too and had an outstanding experience. They have been great after the sale too....

Here's our home from home 2006 Crossroads Cruiser with bike rack behind my '99 F350 dually 7.3 PSD with just over 25k miles on it & I've done most of that in the 18 months I've owned it!

I really wanted a toy hauler but in the UK we are restricted on overall length so I made my own slide out rack to put my Harley on.

Very creative Rob!

What's the camping scene like over there?
Probably not a lot of fifth wheels I would guess...

We are a bit limited on campsites that can accommodate 5th wheels but we plan to tour other European countries, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy for the winter months. There are several other 5th wheels here, some American built & some that are built by a company here but they are quite small (28ft max) we have our own forum here which has around 800 members although only a handful are regularl posters & I suspect that several are wannabes.
