I'll try to get some good pictures today. I am "planning/hoping" to get started with moving "stuff" back in. But, that also comes with decisions, like WHAT do I REALLY NEED to put back in, and what is just excessive. Hum, did I just say I "might" have been excessive

Glad your first night went well despite a few unique events…..

Moving from a smaller camper to a larger one is an adjustment. I’m sure you did the same thing from your one before the T2499. When we went from PU to the T2499 and after putting all the PU stuff in, we said Wow now what do we do with all that extra room?

Well you know how that goes….sooner or later all that excess room some how fills up and becomes normal. Then you move up again…. It does not seem to matter where you put stuff, you will re-arrange at least 3 times the 1st year to get in just that right spot.

Being a monster…. That wears off in time. Yes right now it feels like a dance hall in side…and the slide with an extra 2 ½ feet is…. In time it becomes the normal and you really enjoy having the space.

The only time I long for the smaller space of the T2499 is when I go to wash it…. I start with the roof, then the sides, then the awning and if I have any energy left, the F350. The first spring cleaning from the dreaded black streaks is the worst, but take it a section at a time.

Like I said in another post, hauling it. There is an adjustment to backing it up and turning. For backing up, and with a long wheel base PU, drive 8 feet past the camp site from rear TT tire to the down stream side of the pad. Then when backing up, crank the Ford hard and she will go right in. After a few times you will be just as comfortable as with the T2499. Remember what your drive around for a living that is big and yellow? I have no doubts in my mind that after about 2 to 3 times you can put that camper anywhere…

Turning around in our yard. Yes this is an adjustment. We had the same problem the 1st time. Oh boy how in the world am I going to turn this thing around….but after about 3 times of figuring out what works and does not work, it become normal once again. Now we did not have the bull dozer…had the dirt blade on the back of the Ford 3500 tractor and 18 yards of stone…

You have a real nice camper there and the oak is just down right beautiful. Have fun in your loading experience. And just think, the modifications counter has been reset! You can have mod fun all over again….

Thanks for sharing your 1st adventure with us. It brings back memories of both our first trip and campouts in both. How to get a full range of emotions all in one camping trip…

Wow...how exciting!! Congrats.
BTW - Were you coming through the Hagerstown area on I-81 around 5:30pm? I was on the northbound side and think I saw you heading south! I remember seeing the newer Sunline with bunks. Well anyway...have fun!

Rich,

I do believe that was probably us. We also got lucky and caught a couple of those really really heavy downpours, but it was dry at the house, 6 miles west of WV exit 12.
