That new RV refrigerator is really expensive!

So, last fall, the refrigerator in our TT died. The "new" one came attached to a 2002 3575RL. $$$ enough but then there were the add on's.

Had to get the hitch in the bed of the truck.

I added air bags to the truck to level it out.

The in-between-the-wheel chocks I used on the TT didn't fit the Monty.

Most of the sewer hoses & attachments went with the old TT.

50AMP marine to 30AMP RV adapter so I don't have to fight with that heavy 50AMP cord (Those things are HORRIBLY expen$ive....)

Redecorating supplies.

New bed spread & sheets & such (just because)

Didn't have a good place to keep my 5 gallon jug of soft water we used for tea & coffee so got the portable water softener.

etc. etc. adnausium.

Perhaps we should have kept our old TT........







........NOT!!


So today we are frantically washing dishes & towels & such and starting to carry the junk from the old TT to the Monty. Got to get ready to take 'er out next weekend!!!!

Congradulations on your new Montana. I am sure you and Mary Lou are going to enjoy it. See you down the road.

Sounds to me that you are just the least bit excited to get on the road with your "new" Monty and I can't say I blame ya. Now be sure to keep us up to date on your adventures.

Now tell me, what did you have to do to get the frig to breakdown??

Boy can I relate,

When the Radio went out on my last Truck it cost me almost $30,000 for that new Radio.

Happy Camping

Eric -

Before anyone beats me to it:

Camping in your new Montana - PRICELESS!!!

For everything else, there's Mastercard.

Wish we were going to see you at the RV show next weekend, but given the choice, I'd be going camping also.

Park them side by side with the doors opposite each other. Makes unloading, loading easier.

I know the feeling, too. Our oldest granddaughter, now 15, grew to 6 feet tall. The supercab back seat was just not big enough for her that one time per year we take them camping with us. Moving to a new crewcab was imperative.

Funny how those little accessories add up but you're really going to love all those extras that came with your new refrigerator.

Thank god that the simplest issues can be resolved by changing the wrapper. I've had similar problems before with cars, trucks, motorcycles and Montanas for sure!! These little things keep us moving forward and people in jobs.

Hope you enjoy your 3575RL. There's not a lot of people that have these floor plans but those who do seem to really like them. We enjoy ours.

We wore it out. We plan to do the same to our Monty

Actually, we sold the old TT several weeks before we got the Monty in our hot little hands long enough to do anything with it. So, we have been tripping over boxes of RV stuff. I'm good & ready to move it all out of the house.

We had a full size van that we pulled the TT with. It died a couple of years ago and we moved to our Ford F250 because we wanted to move to a 5th wheel. Everything died in the proper order

You bet we are going to have fun!

Sometimes things just seem to fall into place in the proper order!
