Our new TT Adventures!

Well  I thought I'd document my partner and my adventures. Today we got a new propride hitch installed which marked the end of our 3 week ordeal buying a new  travel trailer :)

Its a PrimeTime Lacrosse 327res http://www.primetimerv.com/default.asp?page=products&choice=floorviewer&model=lacrosse&name=4891 (ours is a lovely champaign not white)

We bought it from  our dealer (Thats it over there we really like it!) with intent on towing with our v8 2012 f-150 ecoboost. Well... on the way home (a 22 mile trip) it was swaying so bad we about had heart attacks in only mild wind even on side roads - and the check engine light came on. Come to find out the dealer for our truck didnt exactly tell us everything correctly about our towing capacity and the radiator was overheating cuz we were like 800lbs over weight.

The experience was actually go

od, so earlier last week Steve went and got us a 2012 cummins turbo diesel heavy duty ram 2500. Our new hitch arrived on tuesday of last week (propride) and  we got it assembled saturday (had to work!). During assembly we did have to call the support twice on a saturday and Sean woodruff the owner  of the company called us back within 3 minutes both times! (amazing service) - we had  to remount the propane tanks and extend the break away chains (which i finished this morning).

So we pulleder out - the truck pulled the 8400 TT like it wasnt even there and we had 45mph gusts all day today with a cold front moving into austin and we drove a 100mile round trip and it was... for lack of a better word... AHHHHHH MAZEING! we were so relieved, and had no white nuckle experiences. Then.. I was actually able to back it into our driveway on the first try (again!) 

In two weeks his sister is visiting from Sacramento CA for 2 weeks  and we are going to go down the coast to port aranzas for our first "Real" trip. I guess I should have mentioned we have done a few trips with his dad over the last 4 years and it got us hooked :)

In June we are going to be leaving Austin TX behind andgoing to take a few months  road trip from Austin - to Pennsylvania (my family) then to Mass (our best friends live there) then taking them to P-Town wit us. Then we are  going to head down to FL. After that we'll track back west stopping back in austin, then to LV and SoCo - our final destination.... Guernieville CA (about 1.5 hours north of SanFran).

We met a couple people in this  rv group while on one of the trips with his dad and I'm horrible because I do not remmember the names :)

Anyways look forward to our travels, friends  and fun and meeting amazing people along the way!
