We sold our 2010 Passport 2590 and drove home with our new Laredo 303TG yesterday. I was actually kind of sad to see the Passport go, had a lot of great memories in it, our first TT, but looking forward to a busy camping schedule this year with the new rig.
Dealer is about 1.5 hour from us and the ride down with the passport was kind of tiring - fighting a nasty crosswind the entire trip. At one point I mentioned to the wife that I may just do the walk through and bring the Laredo home today(saturday) but she was not having any of that.
I was surprised that the new rig seemed to pull a lot easier than the much lighter Passport - thinking that the weight had a lot to do with it, but I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The only thing that I am planning to change out so far is the electric tongue jack - bought a Barker 3500 last year and really like it, so I will probably swap it out and give my buddy a deal on the one that came with it - I think it's an LCI, or something like that.
Anyway, here is a pic of the new rig before going into the barn! :-)
