For those waiting, I know it's been a long time.

A little cleaning up here and there and then she's off to her new proud owner. :cry:

Nice trailer with some interesting ideas, I've never seen a side galley before. Being into trains I'm sure you've been to the Train Museum in Portola, CA? I love that place, its been a few years and think I need to visit it again on a camping trip in 2013. http://www.wplives.org/

There's a really nice transportation musem here in Salisbury, NC...http://www.nctrans.org/.
It's mostly trains but there are some really nice old cars too.
If any of you make it look me up.

Thank you, Dan. Wish I had known about that when we lived in Jacksonville, NC. We did get to do the Other Banks, that was a good time!

'Gonna have to check out that NC Transportation museum -
looks quite interesting ! I went to a train museum in northern
Illinois years ago and had a great time then.

Mind if we ask how much she sold for? PM me if you prefer.

One of the I things on TPCE is that the wife is not big on camping, so I have tried to keep resale value in mind while building... as much as I hate the thought of letting my labor of love go, there is a reality behind the fact that someone might value it more than I do. :? :roll: :cry:
