We got the ball really rolling today.  We got to Grapevine RV this morning at 10:00 like we planned.  Picked up the F350 and took it to Jeff @ Lebec Automototive to have it checked over.  We then went back to the lot and started going over everything in the Alpha.  We had water and power hooked up and had Mike show us how to do the slide-outs, etc.  We spent all day going over things and reading manuals.  At about 1:30-ish, we went home to get lunch and then just as we were heading back, we got the call that Jeff was done checking the truck so we went straight there.  Jeff only had a couple minor things to comment on the truck that it might need to have taken care of, like a tiny leak, it might need rear shocks, a little bit of surface rust underneath, but all in all pretty good.  We then took it for a quick drive up the freeway and back to the RV lot.

We went back in the Alpha, talked to Mike for a couple minutes and then decided on a price $41,000. for the combo.  Went back to his office and wrote up the papers.  We brought home the file box of papers and the owner’s manual binder for the Alpha.

We had dinner and then spent the evening reading and Tom checked different places for loans.  Mike said that he would check places on Monday.

Since the truck and trailer had come from an owner in Canada, they might have to be “imported” or they might not need to be since they were both made in the United States.  He’ll have to check.  If they do have to be imported, he’ll have to take them down to Long Beach to do it.

If the loan goes through, it’ll probably be a couple weeks before we get to bring them home.  Then the REAL fun begins!!  The big “PURGE” will begin then.  I’m not starting to list things for sale until it’s OURS for sure.  I will start throwing things away and talking things to recycling though.  I’ll also keep working on my lists etc.  The time will go by fast.  Fingers crossed that it all goes good!!  : )
