WooHoo! Coming to the Fort in a New Ride! - The DIS Discussion Forums

Duane · 09-21-2009, 04:34 PM

Flew up to just outside of Detroit MI this past Friday to bring her home to NC. Sold the truck and 5'er and bought a Class A so the DW and DD can "go" without me having to stop every hour on the way down....

Its a 2009 Winnebago Sightseer 37L. Here are some pictures of our coach that I managed to snag from the dealer's website before they were taken down. As soon as I get a spare moment, I will take and post some pictures of my own. Now comes the fun of taking all of the "stuff" we took from the 5'er and putting it into its new home.

Now I'll have to find me one of those Mickey in a Motorhome avatars like Shannon has in his signature....

It looks like Uncle Jed, Granny and Ellie Mae are following the natural progression of RV'rs... tent to pop-up to travel trailer to 5th wheel to Class A.

Nice coach

Beautiful rig! We have a 2007 Sunova (Itasca version of Sightseer) and love it. They didn't offer full body paint yet then, and it sure does make the rig look great! Hope to see it at the Fort someday.

Sweet!

ftwildernessguy · 09-21-2009, 05:13 PM

Bet that was a pretty nice ride from MI to NC.

Pirate-Jeff · 09-21-2009, 05:16 PM

Nice
Now you'll make better time getting to the Fort too.

Let us know how training the DW to drive it goes. If you need a blind fold you can use mine.

Kagoguen · 09-21-2009, 06:12 PM

That is one sweeeet ride....does it come with auto pilot?

Pirate-Jeff · 09-21-2009, 06:26 PM

right click on the image and save picture to your hard drive than load to a photo hosting site ( like www.photobucket.com )and link it to your avatar or signature. It will need to be resized for your avatar. Here is a link to teach you how to do that. It's the 3rd one down http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/video-tutorials/

4mickey2 · 09-21-2009, 06:53 PM

that is an awesome coach. i love that lay out.

our progression was a little different though. we went from tent to truck camper, to truck camper to super c.

enjoy the ride. your dw and dd will love having the bathroom. i almost feel guilty using ours when we are sitting in traffic and i see all those people sitting in their cars.. not!

Minnie&Mickey · 09-21-2009, 07:02 PM

Really nice rig.

Shan-man · 09-21-2009, 09:30 PM

For what it's worth, I would really prefer no one else use the image shown in PirateJeff's post... that pic of Mickey with the Santa hat with the brown dog and white dog in a blue an silver moho is a custom creation of mine to represent my family and rig specifically. I have digitized, and shared, the original with the red moho and regular Mickey and pluto on-board for everyone to use. Not that I'm claiming any copyright or anything, just hoping for some room for uniqueness. You are welcome to this art:
