Our New RV!!!

We got a new RV today!! We have been wanting one since we got our camping property a year and a half ago. But knew practically nothing about RVs and weren't sure what kind was right for us. We decided on a pull-trailer kind, so we can drop it off and go into town without hauling it around. We also still wanted to use the back of the truck for hauling things when we aren't camping, so that meant no fifth-wheel. And, with Nick's baseball tournaments, we thought an RV would come in handy.  Over the weekend, we rented an RV and took it to the Gorge this weekend for a concert and that was it - we were sold. After returning the rented RV in Tacoma, we stopped at Bardos in Fife and found the one we want at the price we want.   Some cool features are:  two bedrooms at each end of the trailer.  The front bedroom has a queen size mattress, the kids bedroom has a good size bunk bed, it's own dining area, another pull-down bed, a TV mount, and a closing door!!! The bathroom has two entrances: one from inside the trailer, and one from the outside.  So, dirty baseball boys don't have to track dirt through the RV to get to the bathroom.  Yay!  It has NO carpet, which is important to me for keeping it clean, and it has TONS of storage.  It also has an oven, which I think will come in handy for Thanskgiving / Holiday dinners when you could use an extra oven.  Oh, and it has a flat-screen TV mount so the TV is visible from the main living area, and it swivels around so you can watch TV from the front (our) bedroom.  Yay!  Isn't it great to be able to get away from it all and still have XBOX and the ability to lay in bed, eat bon-bons and watch TV?  

Here are a few pictures kindof out of order:

This is the kid's dinette in the kids room.  The table pops down and makes into a bed.  And, the wood frame drops down for another kid sleeping area.  These are big enough for full grown kids too! 

This is Nick's room with the bunk beds.  A TV will bolt down to the top of the dresser. 

This is the bathroom showing the exterior door.  I LOVE that feature!  Someone really had their noggin' on...  Probably a Baseball Mom. :-)  Oh, and the shower is tall enough so that Ward can stand up in it.  

This is the kitchen.  Microwave, stove, oven, fridge, freezer.  All represented. 

Bump-out Dining table and Sofa.  And yes - the clock STAYS!!

This is where the flat-screen TV goes.  This wall is also the divider wall from the front bedroom (aka: OUR bedroom) and the main living area.  It has sliding pocket doors and the TV frame swivels.  

Bedroom window complete with day/night privacy shutters.

Front bed / storage.  There is also storage underneath the mattress. 

View along the outside.  Notice the porch lights, the awning, and the dual doors.  Cool!  

It's a Surveyor by Forest River.  Warren Buffet just bought this company. 

Dual Propane tanks with auto and manual switching.  Even the casing is cool.  You don't have to lift it off to switch a tank. 

That's it!!!  Can't wait for camping!!
