We picked up our Reflection 303RLS on Friday Nov 22, 2013 and parked at our storage lot. It seemed like forever until we went to Virginia Beach Holiday Travl Park on Dec 5-7, 2013 for a maiden voyage. We moved the remainder of the "stuff" from our previous fifth wheel and got things somewhat settled. We also took pictures of serial numbers, measured cabinets and drawers, and checked our height. It was great weather, sunny and in the mid 70s the first day, near 80 the next day, then cold and rainy (near 40 overnight). It was a great chance to check out both the A/C and furnace. We thought we had an intermittent electrical problem and told Santa to bring us a Progressive Industries power monitor (ended up it was a campground problem). Since we were going to be be loading and putting in shelf liner, we took a big batch of chili from home, and just heated it in the microwave.
Molly was a bit leery of the new "Little House". The steps were shiny and bright, thus a bit scary. She also wasn't sure about where to lay in the living room, since there is no carpet. Some spoiled Golden Retriever! She did get to take a walk on the Virginia Beach boardwalk on a nice winter day, something that we very rarely do living here.
Sure were happy with our new rig! We did learn that it was really tough, if not impossible, to open either the door or basement doors when parked in our storage spot, since it has split rail fence between each spot.
