Crochet Me Crazy

We bought our new Mountaineer Fifth Wheel today at Holiday World-Houston! We will be closing the deal and picking it up on June 8th. I'm really glad we waited to buy because they have come out with a newer model since we looked about 6 months ago that has an *ideal* floor plan for us....this one is by far the best we've seen so far since we have such specific things we wanted. We needed bunks for the kids which are hard to find in 5th wheels and a queen slide-out with a closet in the master bedroom. This plan has a private room for the kids with 3 bunks and a sofa. It's a 34' fifth wheel with 3 slides. There is a lot of storage and cabinet space. Boy, are we going to have fun with this!

For some reason I can't get the floor plan picture on my blog but here is a link for the floor plan:

Here is a site online that has a lot of pictures of the interior which is identical to the unit we bought.

We are now going to be selling the pop-up camper that we currently have. It is a Jayco Eagle 12ST and is a really nice pop-up camper with a shower and toilet in it. We have enjoyed using it but we want to be able to get up and go a little easier. My husband, Jeff, travels on business in Texas quite a lot and the kids and I like to go with him and often stay in the area over the weekends to camp.

My husband and I were talking about it tonight...we chose this over a 2nd vehicle. People spend this much on a vehicle all the time and we will probably never want to sell it. However, if we ever decide to sell it, it will hold its value much better than a car as long as we take care of it. We went ahead and spent the extra money for a permanent wax seal protectant for the exterior that makes it very easy to clean and keeps it from fading. They also put a protectant on all the materials inside and if there is ever a stain on any material surface including carpets that we can't get out with the cleaner included in the package, they will completely replace it for free for 5 years. We bought wheel covers and a special cover that has compartmental zippers on it so you can still get into it when it isn't being used.

I'm going to be soooo spoiled! I may even use it as a get-away at home! You may hear of me crocheting in my 5th wheel in my back yard!
