This Bus is ours officially

Well, if you had told me a couple weeks ago that we would buy a Tiffin Allegro Bus at Lazydays I would have laughed at you.  The laugh would have been on me since we now are the proud owners of the bus.

We went to the office today and spent four hours and a bundle of money and it looks like we will do the PDI walk through on Saturday morning and then transfer all our stuff to the bus.  It will be slow going since it will be in the mid 90s the next couple days with high humidity.  We plan on taking it easy and finishing when we can without breaking our backs.

I think we have met with everyone who works at Lazydays since they shuffle you from person to person.  Just like a factory production line with each person doing their part.  They are efficient and know their stuff.  We will get a 30 day temporary tag and hopefully get back in time and have it inspected, get a new Class A drivers license and be back on the road soon.

Other than the above it has been dull and slow going around here.  We have to be close by in case they need us for something and there is only so much we can pack in the meantime.  Space is at a premium in the Southwind and we still have to drive to the transfer area.  If we were already on the site, we could pack and load the 6 large totes and 14 shoebox totes.  We also have some boxes from Costco to help move all the small stuff.  It sure wasn't this much trouble with our previous motorhome since we didn't have it loaded to the gills.

The campground is beginning to fill up for the Memorial Day weekend, but it is far from being full.  They use the CG for Rallys and other events and it is very good for that.  The Rally center is quite large and they have a restaurant called Exit 10 which is in the shape of a long motorhome.  The pool and hot tub are quite large and very nice.  We aren't pool people, but many campers use it all the time.

Lazydays provides free breakfasts and lunchs 6 days a week.  They used to have nicer lunches, but they are nice enough now to get us to go about every other day.  The breakfasts that we went to were mixed, one day being nice and the other not so good.  You can't beat the price, so all is well.
