New Truck and Trailer

Today we bought a new (to us) 2003 Ford 3/4 ton truck and ordered a brand new 2008 5th wheel trailer. We went to the Raleigh RV Show on Feb. 9th to learn more about the kind of trailer we wanted to acquire. This shopping excursion had been planned since our extended RV trip last fall when we realized we needed a bigger rig.

To our pleasant surprise we found a new 5th wheel trailer that exceeded our expectations. Bill Plemmons RV World had an unbelievable offer for the "show only" and that sealed the deal for us. So, today we ordered a Keystone Laredo 265RL, just as was displayed at the show. Then when we got to the dealership to sign the papers we found that they had this beautiful Ford diesel 250 Super Duty truck that will be more than adequate to pull the 5th wheel. The truck has only 18,000 miles on it and is completely set up to pull the trailer.

Here are some pictures of the truck and trailer.

When Paul saw the first truck pic, he said, "Nice truck!" Second pic, "Nice truck!" Third pic, "Nice truck!" He thought the 5th wheel was nice too, but he had more to say about the truck. A guy thing, I am sure!
