Headed off to the Christmas Tree Shop today (awesome discount store) to hunt around for some things for the TT.  DH and DS went up to Maine to close up our seasonal TT till next May.  Normally I'd be very bummed out, but seeing our new to us TT sitting in the driveway makes me happy!!  So I went shopping and bought new cookware set of pots and pans, already bought some cute quilts and towels.  Now instead of dreaming about next May when we get to see our other TT, we can take off on a few extra adventures till then!!!  Looking forward to tomorrow so I can putter around in the TT and move stuff around.  The previous owner left us so much!!  But I want to put things away in my order plus we still haven't given it a bath yet.  DH checked bearings, etc, yesterday and everything looked fine.  He's going to repack them with a little more grease.  Hope to head out to a local campground in the next couple of weeks to test it out finally!!  It reminds me so much of our popup cause of the length.  Our Palomino opened up to 20-21 feet and this TT is 20 ft.  DH also bought me some knicknacks up at our campground store as they were having a 50% off sale, so can't wait to see what he got me!!  Even if we just overnight in the driveway for now, that's far better than having to now wait until May...that was always torture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know how you feel. I went thru the same feelings when I went from the popup to my hybrid.

I now go out into it at least 3 times per week in the winter and get to do all kinds of mods without the hassle of opening it up.
 
I went into it one day, laid on the couch to read and was napping in no time!!:D
 
I bought a couple of solar panels and installed them a few weeks ago, want to try camping this winter, just need enough power forthe furnace.
 
Good luck and happy decorating.
BTW I work about 1/2 mile from the Christmas Tree Shop in South Portland.

I pass that Christmas Tree Shop all the time when we head up to camp at Poland Spring!!  I've always wanted to get off the highway and stop there!! That store chain is addictive!  

Yes, now that the seasonal trailer is closed up, it wasn't so depressing knowing the other TT is happily in the driveway.  To escape the kid chaos the other day, I made a cup of tea, went out to the driveway, unlocked the TT, turned on the radio, sat at the dinette and enjoyed my tea!!!  Have you ever camped at Danforth Bay during the winter??  We were thinking of trying it, so kids and hubby could go skiing.  Just hoping the TT can stay nice and toasty on a freezing day?  We haven't winterized it yet, will probably have to soon, but we can always bring along a porta potti from the old popup!
