Tracy - good job on the persuading!
 
Jaz - I hope they make good too.  I am stressed not having a camper around.  I don't feel safe.  I know that sounds funny, but it puts me at ease owning a camper - if there's a disaster / emergency, I know I can hitch up and get the heck out if need be.

Ok, also booked site 183. We will be in one of the sites and Andy/Anne will be in the other. I think either anne or andy will be creating their own cotoc signon soon. Can't wait to see everyone then.
 
Tracy, now that you talked jaz into going, are you also reserving a site?

Hey there tinybluetj - welcome to COTOC!
 
North Lake is in Haines Falls, NY. Here's their website:

I've been going there my whole life - it's my favorite CG.  I have tons of pics on my webshots page if you'd like to check them out.  Just click the link under my profile.

Well Beckie - yes my signature has changed!  I changed it Friday and I was waiting for someone to notice - LOL!  While dropping off the Santa Fe, we looked on the lot to see what model PU we would be fighting to get.  Fleetwood said the dealer put the a/c in wrong, which caused the majority of the problems, and they (Fleetwood) were not going to help out in the situation one bit.  Makes me feel good that I bought THREE brand new Fleetwoods since '01.  Way to stand behind your products there Fleetwood!  So we were on the lot and I saw a bunch of '07's and really did not like the exterior stripes on the Americana series we looked at, and I was never a fan of the blue bottom tenting.  There was a Utah, Santa Fe, and a Williamsburg.  Off in the corner there was a low-sided Niagara that looked brand new.  I mean better than if I owned it.  I knew it was an '04 or '05 because of the gray tenting, and the fact it was a low side Niagara.  It was popped up, so we went inside.  In the cabinets were the never installed vanity mate, the fan / bunk lights were still in their boxes, the stove, potty, and shower were all still shrink wrapped factory new.  So was the exterior stove.  Every single manual and book was in the drawer, so I knew it was an '04 now since that's what the owners manual said.  I could not tell if it was a leftover or what.  It was just so NOT used.  I went inside, and all the dealers people were so very nice.  I was ready to fight, and they just came through 100% to make up where Fleetwood did nadda.  I asked the dealer "what's the story on that '04 Niagara?  Is it used, or a leftover?"  Turns out it was used only twice!  So long story short, we swapped.  They also threw in a 3 year bumper to bumper warranty.  I am happy with the outcome and looking forward to camping in it soon!  If it doesn't snow I think in early Jan I'll head to Pine Grove for it's maiden voyage!

To bad we didn't know.  We could have all pretended not to notice and really have you going crazy.  Now that would have been funny.
