Yep, I got it last night.

DW and I christened it by having some pizza and wine in her for supper.

We actually liked the decor better this time around.  Felt warmer than our initial impression.

Long PDI but it ended up being a very good one.  Frank, a top notch tech did most of it with us.  The owner, a Reese expert, showed me how to set up the reese hitch.

Pulling out of the parking lot was a little scary.  I figure we are now 50 feet long.  This rig was next to the Kiwi and made it look like a midget.
Took about 20 miles to fell somewhat comfortable driving it but I am sure this will get better after I tow a few more miles.  Have to remember to make wider turns.

Truck was reading about 8.8 to 9 mpg on the way home.  I hope that it will be improvingto about 10 mpg once I get it set up better and do some highway driving.

I was surprised at how easy it was to back it into the yard.  Just as easy as doing the Kiwi.

Okay, I have a ton of stuff to do to get ready to head to NJ.  Have to get the $1.00 admission fees to help pay for the camper.  Buying a new truck and camper in a week does put a dent in the finances. :)  

Thanks all for the good wishes.

Congratulations!!!!

You mean you didn't sleep in it last night?  :(
  Pizza was enough?
 
 Your mileage figures are about in line with what we've experienced.  How fast were you towing?

Can't wait to see it, but I gotta get a free pass for you looking through our storage compartments.
