Its finally in the drive

Yesterday we were able to pick up the new 3750FL from the dealer. The PDI inspection went rather well, one issue the dealer is taking care of and a small hydraulic leak I discovered once I got it home.
I was a bit surprised when I connected it to the 3500 for the first time. The pin weight is 300 lbs more than our Blue Ridge but the additional weight did not cause the rear end to drop any more than normal. This may change once I get all of our gear inside but if needed I have a set of firestone air bags in the shop that will take care of any drop in the rear end.
Towing was a breeze, the Moor-ride system seemed to smooth out some of the chucking we normally experience on highway 49 coming out of Jackson.
After experimenting with the level up system, it is actually a lot easier than I first thought. Its pretty cool to pull the truck out of the way and hit the auto level button. This will definitely make set up easier at the campsite.
The DW has completed the new quilted table cloth, throws for the couches, quilted comforter for the bed and darker shades for the windows so she can sleep in.
I still have to do some experimenting to see if I can get all 3 TV's to work on one Direct tv box. It may be easier than I thought.
We are looking forward to taking it out next weekend on its shakedown trip.

Congratulations on the new rig! You'll love the Level-up and it sounds like the DW has already made it your place. May you make many wonderful memories in your new rig.

If you figure out how to make all 3 tvs work off one Directv box, let me know. I hope you enjoy yours as much as we have ours!
