Picking Out Our New Home

















Sue and I decided to get away and see the United States and enjoy our retirement.   This is our new mansion that we just purchased  We did months of research on trailer construction and the 
components that were in them.  We studied floor plans that would be best for us to live in and
gave us enough storage, and in a weight class that would be towable for out truck.

After examining so many trailers that we confused ourselves, I came up with a list that included
descriptions, floor plans, weights and features we liked about them.  Armed with our book of 
selected or approved trailers we headed to the Tampa RV Super Show.  

This show had thousands of trailers and covered the entire Florida State Fairgrounds with various rigs  We started down our list and began inspecting each one until we arrived at the Camping World display of the Keystone trailers.  Our search was over when Susan saw this trailer, a 
Premier 34 RIPR, her comment of " I Love this one - this is it "  and our search was over.  

We went to Camping World of Tampa a few days later to take delivery, after it was detailed
inside and out.  We did a complete inspection of the rig and found a few problems that their 
technicians corrected immediately to our complete satisfaction.  They went out of their way to
make us feel like we were their only customers ( mind you they sold 350 trailers at the 
Super Show, and they were overwhelmed with deliveries ).  

Now we've switched back to trip planning with two shake down trips coming up soon to check
out everything before we take off later this coming spring.  Sue has officially given her notice
at work ( they were not happy she was leaving them LOL !!! ) and she seems much happier 
 and obviously excited about the upcoming adventures.
