And it's done......

Long day.

Got to the ferry and the loading lanes were pretty plugged.
The auto lanes were full, but the semi and over-size lane held a few spots.

My wife said no way could I make it in there, I said watch....

She actually paid me a compliment after I easily paid the fare and pulled into that spot, wiggling between all the full lanes.

Been a LONG time since I heard an "atta boy"

Traffic was ugly on the mainland, but we made it in time.
Dropped off the old gal and did our walk through, etc.

Decided to take the long way home, where I cross a bridge instead of paying to ride a ferry.
If you have never seen Deception Pass Bridge, google it,

The new trailer exceeds my expectations.
It pulls so much "tighter" than the Bullet.

It corners so much better, less bump too over the expansion joints and rough roads.

I "think" it's because the axles sit further back, not so centered like the Bullet, and the tongue weight is more....

No more big ol' butt dragging behind the axles to watch the swing out....

Love the HUGE awning, wide entry door, and the one button self-leveling jacks..... WAY COOL!

Enough countertop for my wife to keep fatten me up

We are very happy campers

Some pixs of the new rig, and some side by side of the old and the new gal, and the BEST gal between the two of them....

You’ve just crossed into a new world with auto level, you’ll never want to own another trailer without it. Very nice counter space, that always a plus and hard to find in smaller RVs. Congrats

Thanks guys

Yep, the galley space is actually better as its more workable, no more turning around to the island sink counter, and the ceiling allows for higher cabinets install, which allows for more access under them....wife loves it.

Also that KING BED that slides to each side so you can make the bed without having to climb on it, she can easily reach the top corners to fit the sheets, they have a patent pending on it.

We woke this morning still jazzed

Gotta go hang a wardrobe mirror so she can see how beautiful she is, and for me to ignore how old and dumpy I am getting

Also going to hang the TV. We have a smart TV instead of those less than stellar ones they offer as an option....
However, either one if watched too much makes it a boob tube

I was surprised to see how sturdy the outer walls are inside the cabin, solid like a home, not the flimsy paneling that gives to the touch.

Now the fun part, and I already blew it guys....
I told her this trailer holds over 1000 pounds of payload MORE than the Bullet.

I don't think I'll ever learn.

Fuzion started using a sliding king bed back around 2017ish. I’d be curious to see what’s different that they would have a patent pending.
