Home away from home.

Last Monday morning, we finally got to close on the house sending it to secondary financing.  I guess that means Phase 1 is officially done.  Next step will be to remodel the two original bathrooms.
 
Monday afternoon, Deb had me loaded up in the truck when I got off work and off to Benton we went to buy this.  Our new home away from home/home on wheels.  Our old pop up has served it's purpose and needs someone who enjoys doing handy work a little more than I do.
 
 
Unfortunately, Samantha had to work that day and wasn't able to be in the picture with us.
 
It is a 2017 Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf 26RL.  We bought it from RV City in Benton, AR.  We recommend anyone buying an RV to go see them first.  Financing was done through Southern Bancorp.  I can't say enough good about them.  I love my bank!  We called around and their RV loan rates were at least 3% lower than anyone else we spoke with.
 
Here is a quick tour of the inside.
 
We always liked the rear lounge model, but this was the first time we had seen one that wasn't a fifth wheel.  The lord continues to provide what we need and sometimes what we want at just the right time.
 
Swivel rockers and leather sofa at the rear.  The sofa folds out to make a full size bed.
 
 
Kitchen, Dinette, and entertainment center.  The dinette makes down into a full size bed too.
 
 
Shower and sink.
 
 
My favorite feature is the rear lounge.  Deb's favorite feature...... a potty.

 
And finally, the bedroom.  The kids will have to make due sleeping on the couch and dinette, which both make into a bed.  But, hey, one of them is out on her own and the other only has another year of high school, so we think they will survive. 
 

 
And just because I love my truck and enjoy pulling stuff with it, here is the full width travel trailer and pull vehicle shot.  I've got to tweak the weight distribution hitch.  They set it up a little light at the dealership.  Shouldn't be any trouble to add a little more lift to level the truck and trailer better.
