I started to take some pictures, and will get more done this weekend when we are out for the maiden trip.  I will post them next week when we get back.  We are sure looking foward to getting out with it.  

Some of the guys that I work with came over at lunch and we just sat in it for about 20 minutes before we went back to work.  They seemed to like it.

Lets see, when I had my popup, it had A/C, heater, hot water, running water, electricity, king beds, satellite, color tv, portable bathroom, roll out sun shade, screen room, bottled gas, cook-top range, even a vanity with a mirror.  Everyone thought it was overkill.  Way to much comfort to be called camping.

Now I have gone and done it, went and got a big box with most of the same things in it.  Wonder what they will say now.

Dave,
What is the weight of you new camper?  We may be looking to move up to a hybrid or TT in a year or so & was wondering what something like that weighs.

Dave,

6400lbs empty,  which is why I am weighing everything going in to it.  If you are moving up and will be getting a new TV too, be sure to make it at least a 3/4 ton.  That will give you more options.  We had to choose a different floorplan than the one we originally wanted because it was just to heavy, even for our 1500 'burb.  As it is, I will never travel with water on board, or will consider taking everything that I really would want to haul.  I got as big as I could justify and feel comfortable with.

As it is, I will never travel with water on board

You might want to carry around 7-10gal of water in the on-board tank. To use your pottie if need be.
I was thinking the same thing. And after reading on the RV.net board most carry a little water in the holding tank, JUST IN CASE.. This will help if you have a little one who has to "go real bad". and you can't find a place to your likeing..

Dave,
Thanks for the update.  We bought a TV last month a 04 Avalanche which is rated to tow the same amount as a Burb (actually it is a burb). So we will also be limited on what we can purchase due to weight.
