Getupngo has dropped back in ...

Postby Getupngo » Wed Sep 14, 2016 10:57 pm

It has been a long time since I've visited this forum. Seems like facebook kinda swallows all of this up sometimes. Nice to see many familiar faces here. For those who don't know me, I joined this forum probably in about 2007. Bought my first RV after my husband died and haven't looked back since. Still haven't mustered up the guts to full-time.

While I've been away, I moved from a sticks 'n bricks in Salt Lake City to another pile o' sticks 'n bricks in St. George, in the southwestern part of the state. A few months ago, I traded in my aged 2000 Holiday Rambler Vacationer for a kicky new(er) 2008 Four Winds Windsport.

When I walked inside at the RV sales place, I said, "I'm home." Can't beat that feeling. The living room has two slides, but only one is open in this picture because a tree prevented opening the other.

Image

And, of course, like any self-respecting RVer, I immediately started to set money on fire as we replaced the (original) tires (da BIG ones) and had a hundred and one things fixed that the old owners didn't want to deal with. Did upgrade the old flat-screens with a 40" "smart" Samsung in the living room and a 32" Samsung in the bedroom. I'm in TV heaven.

I lived in it for two months this summer, and, weather depending, may head out for an multiply delayed trip to Rapid City, SD. I had hoped to leave by Sept. 15, but the big slide topper shredded, and it won't be fixed until the 20th. I'm getting somewhat nervous about heading that far north going into October, especially as I wanted to just take my sweet time.

Thanks. Just realized I should have posted all this stuff in the "Show Off Your Rigs" forum. Oh, well ...

Welcome "home" ! Nice looking coach. What length model is it? I found several lengths when looking at Wondsports! Thanks for sharing your happiness. Happy travels. Do you tow a car?

Welcome back. What a beautiful rig. Know you will enjoy it. Safe travels to SD. You should be fine and since it comes with a steering wheel :lol: , you can always turn around if you don't like the weather.

It does look like a New York apt! Hope you get down the road before the ice storms settle in for winter. And now you can head south for the warmth!

Welcome back! My DH and I had a large 3-slide Windsport when he died. I just couldn't face dealing with such a large rig, but look at you! Yours is a whole lot nicer inside than ours - especially the L-shape kitchen. The lack of counter space was my major complaint with ours. May you have many happy trips in her. And now that you have rediscovered us, drop by often, okay?

Hey Janice! Welcome back! Was just thinking about you the other day wondering what you are up to now. Nice looking rig!
I am moving to Phoenix in 2 weeks! Maybe will see you at Q or somewhere down that way!
Happy trails!

Good to see you Janice.

Hmmm, you might want to rethink Rapid City in that time frame, depending on what you're planning to see and do. But I guarantee you'll have the place pretty much to yourself. It's already very slow with many places closing for the season. I'll be leaving the first week of October, too... after getting the store closed and inventory done.
