Yup, after being like a gator for several months and lurking, I've joined and just wanted to say Thanks. I'm here, I have yet another addiction, for which there seems no cure, and I'm REALLY broke now.

After 35 years of motorcycle addiction, the last 8 on a Goldwing pulling a really small trailer with camping stuff, I now have this new intrest to replace the newly cured motorcycle curse. :shock:

And because I don't have the area to build a tear drop, or the time, or the skills, I'm REALLY broke now.

We just signed the contract to have a Camp Inn Ultr 550 built for us and of course Mama want a "couple of extras" :)

That's right I'm blameing it all on her! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Yawh Grasshopper this is true. The waiting is the hardest part, next to scraping up the mula.

And also I'm so sorry about my intro post stating " you guys" cause there's a bunch of you gals that help me over from the Dark Side.

Welcome to the wacky world of teardrops. You picked a good mfg., you won't regret the decision your wife made. ;) Craig & Betsey were up at the IRG last weekend so they just might get a slow start on your 550. Na, just kidding. :lol:

Yes I did. Ya see when I did my search on the web for builders, the first one that came to my broweser was pretty cool. And I could have afforded it. Now the second one was the 550, which I thought was off the hook.
I did continue to do my searches, but really it was love at first sight :R

And besides,it's only the kids inheritance that I'm tapping, so....yeah they don't deserve it all. :lol:

Yep, yep, yep. I have 7 and told them that there is just to many kids to share the possible inheritance so we're going to spend it. :lol:

That's ok Gage, I'm kinda figure'n on going to see them around the first week of Oct, so lets see, that's how many hours??? oh never mind.

Besides I've signed up for a T.D. Rally in Aug., and I'm still working on this darn Camp Stove stuff trying to follow Deans advice and not get burned again.

So I'm sure the time will just fly by. Not
