Nice, very nice!
If you haven't, and have the time, Gettysburg in late spring. I need to get my kids there. One of the few somber experiences that can be really pretty, and just a walk through time.

That’s what I want to do, I have a 2018 grand design Reflection 337, and just got my f450 from (Bobby Williams). Post your adventures on here, interested in your travels. Enjoy

Congrats! Grand Design puts out a product that is a cut above the norm. Wifey and I have been looking at some bunk models. I am looking forward to some status updates.

That's awesome Tom. My parents traveled full time for almost 10 years. They loved it.

Good luck on all your adventures. You are just missing one item on your 5th wheel. If you look around , you can find them a lot cheaper or slightly used.

I made a deal on this today and will be sticking around here until my house sells and then I am hitting the road. I wouldnt call it retired but I will work when I want and if I want. It will just be me and the three pits.

I have been moving towards down sizing while going thru some pretty dramatic life changing issues but....I am a fucking survivor and have always concerned myself with moving forward first and foremost. It definitely challenges your will but I am proof you can be left standing on the other side with your head up high.

Its time to make that step and looking forward to chillaxing a bit.

Here it is:
2018 Grand Design M351
View attachment 856015

2014 RAM diesel dually. 100 gallon auxillary tank, full air bags and about 32k miles
View attachment 856016 View attachment 856017

If you see me on the road GTFO of my way. I got places to see ;)
Fuel prices make this perfect timing. Enjoy.

Where is the first stop?

From someone who takes their dogs everywhere....you are going to have your hands full. You should have a TV show I think. Lol

Good Luck...on my bucket list.

...I have done the cross country takeoff a few times... to look at and see what was on the other side of the mountain...easiest way for me was 12 valve Ram...11’ Lance and a Hallett flatly...Occasionally I would put my dual sport Suzuki on a rack on the front of the truck...

Sounds great.

I've thought about getting a Mercedes Metris Weekender and traveling from golf course to golf course for several weeks at a time. Sleep in the parking lot, shower in the locker room, eat and drink in the clubhouse.

Congrats. We’ve been full timing going on two years now. So much to see and do in this beautiful country. Plus chasing the best weather is nice. Lol

Hit up James at Northern AZ Wind and Sun for a simple solar/inverter design. Pays for itself in no time for full timers. Have a great adventure, stop by the farm anytime.

Oh great, who’s going to give me early warning of Indian attacks now?

Congrats, you’re doing what we all think of doing at some point.

Tom did you buy this rig from Butch Baird?

I will figure all that out. Well aware of breed discrimination. The smallest is 75lbs and largest 95lbs


only mention it because mine are 88 and 112 lbs but only 25% american staffy. I've been lucky so far. actually a mix of 7 different breeds...

I had the solar set up on my last trailer and loved it. I believe this is prewired for it and would just need to add the panels, controller and inverter. Where are the located, Flagg? Thanks
Yes, out by the mall. He's one of the head engineers that does really clean installs at his house after hours.
