Construction has begun!: Updated, 7/4

Postby Joan » Thu Jun 09, 2011 10:39 am

I received notice that they have begun construction on my 'raindrop'. I have named her The Far Fars. When I was young and my mother took us on road trips, she would not tell us where we were going. She would say we were going on an adventure and when we asked her where, she would say we were off to the far fars. I am scheduled to pick up my camper on July 18th.

How fun to watch your rig being built! Bet you're excited? How about your Mom - she excited (as much as 81 YOs can get excited!) :shock:

Are you taking the photos, or are they being sent to you? Whatever - keep 'em coming.

The pictures are sent once a week by the manufacturer. Mom says she is excited. We will see how much she enjoys it on the trip back from Wisconsin.

I love that you get pictures during construction. How neat is that. It sure will keep your excitement level up. And I like the idea of "far fars". I'm on one continuous far fars - and I don't always know where it will take me :)

Yes, it is a teardrop like trailer. It is called a 'raindrop' because it has an extra two feet on the front that will be a couch inside.

I did not know company would send photos - what a neat idea. Be sure you share each installment when you get more pixs.
