From Savannah to Montana
A salesman came to the park in St. David and had a Montana 5th Wheel with him. We should never have looked at it!
Terry has always wanted a Montana, but we were not planning on getting one for another year or so. But, as you can see, we changed our minds. It is a 2005 (the Savannah was a 1998) and is about a foot shorter than the Savannah. It is similarly arranged, but with the kitchen on the other side and the TV and computer desk on the side with a large window in the rear. Terry always wanted that big window in the rear. The only thing is, when we are in an RV park, the scenery is usually the back of another RV! I told him that the window was his and so he has to keep it clean! I really like the computer desk. It is twice as large as the old one and there are two windows to look out of!
We bought it at Beaudry RV in Tucson. They have an RV park as part of their sales complex. There is a place called "Transition Row" where they park your new RV and your old RV right next to each other and give you three days to move in, while having both RV's plugged in with electricity and water. It was a great way to do it.
Ryan is now living and working in Phoenix so he came down for the weekend and helped us move. It was so great having his help. After he helped us, he even made time to help our neighbors (an 82 year-old man and his wife) move some of their heavy stuff! For some reason, it seems like the newer RV's just don't have the storage space the older ones do. But, we finally managed to get it all in. Afterwards, we even took it to a certified scales and weighed. We were 167 pounds under the maximum weight for the Montana!! (Wal Mart, here I come.)
The recliners in the Montana were missing and in their place was a rocker/glider. They gave us some money to get another chair, so we just matched the rocker/glider instead of getting a recliner. Terry and Ryan had a good time putting it together (they finally resorted to reading the directions.)
As you can see, we are pretty settled in and our new chairs are very comphfy!! Now we are off to Sierra Vista, AZ, to spend a few days in my brother, David's driveway.
