Thanks, everyone. We won't be able to pick it up until the weekend. It is not the show floor unit, but is that same model. I think the interior color scheme is a bit different.

Yah, I guess. It doesn't have a washer or dryer, and no wet bar. I like to rough-it!

A dishwasher and trash compactor are important appliances when you're "roughing it"!

What are you gonna do with the TT?


Perfect weather for the Truckin' For Kids show up in Irwindale today. I don't think I've ever seen that many rigs in one place. There was a stunning '53 C600 with a 7.3 that I got a few pics of...I'll post them later. It's been a long day.





BTW, brought home 1st place in the diesel pickup drags

Traded it in. The market sucks too much to try to sell it myself. Although now that we put in all the work to clean it up, I almost think we should have. But not really. They gave us a pretty good value.
