Hi from Tampa

Picking up our 2016 Flying Cloud 27' FB today from Patrick at Colonial Airstream.

First trailer experience after two years extended travel in a Roadtrek Class B Sprinter.

Wish us luck!

Rich

Just curious--being in Tampa, why'd you decide not to buy from RVone? They advertise best prices but I don't know anything about service.

Love the Airstream.

We picked it up yesterday and our transaction could not have gone smoother. Great professional experience with Colonial / Patrick and his entire crew. The Propride was installed and set up perfectly.

We headed south to Cherry Hill RV park in MD, our planned stop, with no issues.

Thanks for the welcome, looking forward to listening and learning here on the forum.

Rich

...and we are back on the road again after a three year break.

We picked up a new to us 2021 Ram 1500 a few weeks ago, and yesterday concluded the local purchase of a gently used 2018 FC 23FBQ. Currently on a shakedown trip to get things sorted out in the truck and trailer. Everything is great so far.

It's really funny, after two years extended travel/50K miles in our 2016 Ram 2500 diesel + 2017 FC 30RBQ (we had traded our 27 to get the 30), how quickly it all comes back to you. We don't anticipate needing nearly as much stuff with us this go around, so what we have fits fine. We are loving the new, more compact layout.

Looking forward to more adventures.

Welcome from Tampa.
I sailed in the Venice inlet many evenings. What's the watering hole? Crow's Nest?
