    Traded Up

    The Wife and I did a spring cleaning on the Reflection 312BHTS last weekend. When we got done she said, you know it sure is cramped in the living area when we travel with the kids & grandkids. I thought she was just making an observation and thought nothing of it. This morning she said hey can you come with me to town? I want to show you something. Thought something was fishy when she pulled in to the RV place where we bought our Reflection. Little did I know she’d been checking out 5th wheels and had already picked one that she loved. The salesman and her walked me to a Solitude 377MBS. I looked around it and went in and her and the salesman were just sitting in the living area talking. I realized then that I was in trouble......

    Bottom line, we pulled the trigger....... LOL

    It does have more room!

    Congrats. Those other folks have their "two time tow vehicle" club. I think we need a " two time towed vehicle " club to go along with it.

    ...and then there are those of us who belong to both clubs!

    Congrats Mark and Diana! The 377MBS is a very nice rig!

    Fran and I have an agreement--she doesn't "window shop" at RV dealerships and I stay out of motorcycle dealerships. So far it's working.

    Congrats on the Solitude! They are beautiful rigs.

    Reminds me of when I bought my truck. I called my wife and said something like, "You'd better come down here and tell me why I'm not buying this or it's coming home." She came, she saw, she said nothing.

    Congratulations.

    The 377MBS is on my short list as well. Unfortunately, I have to drive two plus hours to go see one.

    Man that's a nice trade up. We have the Reflection 311BHS 5th wheel and love it, but that being said I'm keeping the DW away from the RV shows this spring. But I hear something in the distance, sounds like a trip to the car dealership is being planted in the deep sleep of night. Do I see another member of the 2 TV club waiting for membership?

    Enjoy the new 5th wheel. It's nearly time to start traveling again in Texas!
