She's home and all tucked in.

Finally! After a long day of inspecting, questioning, learning and signing, we had a smooth drive home with our gorgeous new Safari. Hooray. Now we know how you've all felt during this fabulous adventure. Thanks for all the advice.
Janet

Welcome to the Family!

Janet,

CONGRATULATIONS! What a beeeee-uuuuuuuuu-tee--------full rig!

Have you been able to stop smiling yet? Takes awhile.

I am so happy for you. Can't wait to hook up camping. I'll show you mine (Avis and mine! ) if you will show me yours!

Thanks to you all! This photo's a bit "starry" but that's how we're looking at her right now. Interior and action photos to follow.Of course we toasted the homecoming--and sound system and seating arrangements--and all was good. Even the dogs found it easy to settle right in. By the way 2Air, the neighbors were here as soon as the chocks were placed. And we live in the country!
Loving it.
Janet

Congratulations!!!!!

Congratulations, Janet!!!

What gorgeous photos… and gorgeous 2007 25’ Safari FB SE!!!

Well, it’s about time your coach came off of the production line…
Now Santa’s elves can start working on ours!

Do take a moment to put up the holiday decorations…
At least the stocking…
To receive that little hose elbow!

I’m so happy for you!

Janet,
That looks fantastic in your drive.
I know you had some apprehension a while back. (Around the time of the NorCal rally) How did the process go - did you have any quality issues do deal with - etc.
Congrats on a beautiful trailer, I happy for you!
Dave

O.K. I'm gonna go out on a limb here... I predict that Janet will soon win one of the monthly photo contests here on the AS Forums. That or we'll see her work on the next series of brochures from AS.
Nice shots Janet.
Congrats on the new 'Stream.

Yeaaaa!

Congrates on your new AS. Wonderful photos too! I just love the 25 layout. We just winterized our Safari and sadly stare at it sittinng in the driveway.

Have fun and travel far!

Oh dear, I should have mentioned right away that my husband (AirWeGo-who leaves all posting up to me...) took the photos! And he very much appreciates the kind comments! Especially Glens!
Although the dealer did a nice job of getting her ship-shape for us, so far there are just a few minor cosmetic issues to be dealt with: a 1" gap at the top of the cabinet housing the pantry, and a uneven spacing (1/2") between the partitions of the pano window on the front, with some sketchy looking caulking at the mitre joint of one of the windows. I'm sure, as we've been cautioned others issues might arise during our travels and more use.
Silvergate, you are going to be so happy and amazed at how much more fun this is than you even imagined!
We did have a little bit of an edgy moment coming home. Our long drive comes off the main road at a fairly steep angle which we were very apprehensive about making. Then at the top there is a 22 % grade that we weren't sure our TV could manage with it's new load! Terry (AirWeGo) said that as we got closer to home he started to picture the road getting steeper and steeper and narrower and narrower...But all went well and the skids cleared the turn with about 6" to spare. Guess we'll have to bring her up virtually empty every time.
It helped to have some experienced help with all the maneuvering. Terry's 84 yr old dad--master of all things and a veteran RVr with a great eye--guided us through the hairy turns.
Here's a shot I meant to include last night. It's actually my favorite. We had to make ourselves come into the house to go to bed!
Looking forward to seeing you on the road!
And Gunny, if you're reading this, thanks again for the phone calls from JC!
