Made the switch!

Wife and I went to the RV show in Nashville today and traded our Passport 300BH in on a Springdale 253FWREGL 5th wheel. Can't wait till we take possession later this week or next. Its exactly what the wife was looking for so I'm happy.

Congrats on your new 5th wheel! DH and I were also at the Nashville RV show yesterday and found our future retirement home. A beautiful Montana High Country 343RL. We currently have a 2014 Passport BH, so it will be a couple of years down the road before we can make this happen.
Enjoy your new purchase to the fullest! Making the DW happy was a very good decision .

Congrats on your new Springdale 5er. We also eagerly await our new Cougar 26SAB 5er. Ordered it the 20th of Jan. Been pulling tag a longs for 35+ years, so now gonna have to teach this old dog a new trick in learning to tow a 5er.
Hope you have many years of happy camping with your new rig. It's always good when DW is happy.

So that's how the rear chairs are to be buckled down while in tow. I've been trying to figure that out.
Congrats btw.
