Proud Owners of a 2017 2800BH from Canada
Brought our baby (a 2800BH) home last Thursday from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada ...
Probably the stupidest time to pick-up a trailer (i.e. in the freezing cold), we had an outdoor demo in which we froze the whole time outside (I'm sure I missed something). The weather was _supposed_ to be calm and dry but by the time we got home later in the day the ground was snow-covered and icy.
Well, the fact I needed 4WD to get the trailer up the driveway was a bad omen. Tried a motorized dolly to move it but it slipped on the icy asphalt ... then the whole thing started to slide sideways (panic ensues). Well, it was almost touching the fence (it has to go through an opening just under ten feet wide) when it came to rest so at my father-in-law's suggestion I crawled under it and using a floor jack on the axles raised it onto 2*8 wood under the tires. That bought us just under an inch of room and we could then use the dolly to push it into the backyard.
After that, it was tough to "jiggy" it away from the fence as the dolly would slip and the snow under it turned instantly to ice (did I mention it was incredibly cold). Well, it's finally resting comfortably in the backyard. Ran the furnace in it (that works really well) and now we're looking at modifications including holders for mugs and plates, custom dual towel bars, new drawers under the bunks, doors on those bathroom "cubbies", new storage areas in the bunks, etc.
And "it's" name is "Figment" ... it is, after all, an "Imagine" (for those of you Disney fans).
