On September 22, we were going to go to KC after church, planning to take the Willie to church and leave from there. Don picked up the Willie in the morning, but when we went out to leave, the Willie would not start. Not again! So we left the Willie and took the Jeep to KC.
Originally we had planned to look at RVs while we were in Kansas City, so Monday morning, we went to Transwest RV. We told the salesman that we had no intention of purchasing that day, but he was glad to show us the RVs they had in stock. They had several 2019 Newmars and Tiffins, but only one had a floorplan we liked.
When we left, we discussed whether we should just purchase the one we liked - it had already been significantly discounted, and we thought we could afford it. We returned that afternoon to purchase the RV, and then we went to the cabin.
We returned to KC the next week to pick up the RV. We had set up a 6-hour meeting to go over all of the elements of the RV, and Caleb really wanted to come with us. We told him he would be bored - "I don't mind being bored." We told him he couldn't go, and finally, through his tears, he cried, "But I insist." Nevertheless, we went without him, and by 3:00, we were the proud owners of a 37-foot Newmar.
By the time I am writing this, Willie4 has been to two ball games and has been quite the hit. The old Willie held much more paraphernalia and was so good for tailgating, we are having trouble adjusting to the reduced storage. But we will get over it, and in the meantime, we will thoroughly enjoy our new RV.
