We just got back and WOW it looks great!!! Just a couple of minor things to adjust and we're ready to go. It has been raining for 2 days and I looked all over the place for leaks and couldn't find any. The exterior looked perfect, no flaws,scratches or dents that I could see. Got the decal pkg and it looks very cool!! As well as the awning pkg and they look great too. All options ordered are there and our dealer will begin prep on the unit for next Thursdays delivery. They gave us all the time we needed to check it over {1.5hrs} then our salesman Bill Andrews{great guy,solid sales pro,no bull}came in with a pad of paper and said "ok, any flaws at all?" He was totally prepared to have anything taken care of with no questions asked. He told us he had spent an hour in the AS himself and wanted to see if we found what he had. Our couple of things matched his and he had one additional thing so I know he's paying attention and he genuinely cares. Anybody looking at AS's at Marty's should look for Bill. Took lots of pics!! and I'll post some as soon as I figure out how

Congratulations. There's nothing like a new family member arriving to get the old blood pumping.

Then it's coffee's in the trailer every time you can till you can get out and camp.

I can vouch for Marty's (and Bill) they are great to work with. Very professional and customer oriented.
Anyone in this area would do well to shop there...

Isn't that the truth! And it just gets better. Enjoy and savor every moment of the "newness!" Congratulations on a great choice.

Looks great. You will love the floor plan. I can hardly believe ours is 6 months old and we got only 40 nights in it this year.

Make sure you take it out a lot and really enjoy it!

Thanks wjboswell!! We plan on getting out as much as possible and we WILL enjoy. After 8 years of camping we did no camping this past year and hated it. Hence the new AS!!! We are planning a Michigan trip in August. Going to Traverse city and Mackinaw city area. Any thoughts good or bad?????

I like the decal package! Very nice. And it's great to see everything so new and shiny! I know you will enjoy the heck out of it!

Thanks for sharing!
