Very nice set up Donna and Brian. Nice Air'hanger as well. Congratulations.
There is a lot to be said for driveway/back yard camping for a bit to get all the systems figured out on the trailer. It's also great fun to have the friends and neighbors show up with bottles of congratulatory beverages of whatever it is you enjoy, and to partake of them in the new rig.
We have almost always tried our new trailers out in the yard first before ever hitting the road. And it's not uncommon to head out there with a mug of tea for some quiet time when someone has a vacuum going or a movie on that's a tad too loud . A great hide out for weekend afternoon snoozes too.

Heck, I would definately do a little backyard camping there...your place is beautiful! Perfect for a 'break it in' weekend...invite the neighbors to a little 'trailer-warming' party to start the evening off, but remember - 6 for cocktails, 4 for dinner & and 2 for bed! I guess your results may vary if there are kids in the equation. Oh well, you could always send them off for their own slumber party ~ enjoy!

Congratualtions, love that trailer port. We are thinking of getting something to cover our trailer when it arrives. I will have to show my husband the pictures!
Now we will need some pictures of that very clean interior!
Congrats on the new silver escape pod. We bought (er... financed) the same and it was parked for several days in front of our bungalow in Chicago (wish we had that covered port - very nice). Had the awning out doing some initial set-up and you would not believe how many total strangers will just drop by out of curiousity. Our iron worker neighbor dropped in after walking steel with a couple cold ones for the royal tour (which led to more cold ones, 2 hands of euchre, etc). Not supposed to park a trailer on the street in Windy City so got a little concerned when the squad car pulled up with 2 of Chicago's finest (on an angle facing the wrong direction like they do in hostage crisis) - turns out one of the officers had an Argosy and wanted a tour - funny to see two guys in bullet proof vests sitting in zip dee chairs under our awning answering radio calls and waxing prophetic about airstreams.
Your new trailer is and will be a huge friend magnet - get out and enjoy some driveway camping and cheers to you both on your purchase!!!
Congratulations !! The new trailer and it's own home "port." Get it ready and plan an escape soon. Even if it is only an escape from the phone. If I can't be found, I am usually hiding in the trailer. Happy Camping...
Thanks everybody for taking the time to pump me up even higher than I am now!! For your info the Air'hanger{I love that name!!} was a great bargain. It's 40ft long, 20ft wide and 14 ft high. I ordered it certified which means it has more supports to handle snow load and it was $4500 installed. It is anchored into the cement pad. They come in 10 different colors and I ordered it from a company called TNT garages in So. Carolina. Gave a $500 deposit and paid the rest upon completion. They were great to deal with and it took only 6 hours to install and they were gone. The prices may be a bit higher as I had this done 5 years ago. Dennis I think the color combo is cool too, thanx. Bill yes it is nice and level and it towed great! Diane spend the money on Air'hanger. It's great protection and it will give your husband a great place to wash and polish. And yes everybody there is some driveway camping in our future. Hey 2air a forum rally in little Rhody sounds great!!
Thanks again all

That is a good price on the Air'hanger. It might be tough to fit in here in NJ, we have about a acre, but it is all fenced in. We currently have a big gate, and park the trailer behind the fence. Perhaps one not so wide would work. But we also have a place in Maine, 60 acres on a pond, and that is where we might retire. An Air'hanger would be prefect there!
They come in all different sizes and prices. They bring it in pieces and erect it on your property so limited space is no prob. Once you move to Maine you can have them take it down and re-erect it in Maine!!
