The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 10

[legalslave]

Ok, I'm supposed to be working on putting our budget together. While we were in Green Bay today for Chuck's specialist appointment (that is a thread for later), we stopped to look at travel trailers. We have been talking about upgrading our pop-up to a regular travel trailer since Chuck has been having his joint issues. We looked online last night at some Jayco ones and picked one that we liked. We stopped at a big dealership in Green Bay and didn't really like them as well as the Jayco we saw online. We stopped at our local Jayco dealer in Iron Mountain when we got home. They have the exact one that we were thinking about and it has all the bells and whistles. It is a 2006 model so is clearanced price (I never quite understand that but I guess they have to make room for the 2007's which will be out in the next month or so). It is reduced by $7000. They think that our pop-up is probably worth $3000. We can get financing and the interest is tax deductible because it has a bathroom, bedroom & kitchen.

Here it is. We would get the 26' version. That is all we need. It has two bunk beds in the back for the girls if they come (or our grandbabies in 5-10 years if we are so lucky).

Here is the floor plan.

Now, I have to get off the DDA and put together the info to show Chuck that we can afford this. I know that it will cut into my Disney trips, but my new plan is to travel around the country and meet my DDA friends!!!! Chuck says that he would do that with me in this (& after we get a new vehicle to pull it because our suburban isn't reliable). We pay off both our vehicles within the year so next summer we could afford another vehicle payment!!!! So I could be knocking on DDA doors as early as next summer!!!

That's really nice, Vicki - and remember Fort Wilderness - you might not have to give up as much Disney as you think!

Hey Vicki.....

Some room opened up on the cruise! I PM'd Chanon & Jennifer...but so far no response...I can't hold them for her since she used a TA.

Hi,
Channon will try to reserve them in the morn.

Jen, Did you get your homework done? Glad to hear that Alex is improving.

Homework is done!!! thanks for checkin'!!

That's great news Debbie! So did you DH like his supper? I don't know how you manage with a picky eater. My DH will eat anything too. But my girlfriend's husbands are soo picky that it is a challenge to try to fix something when we all get together. I can't imagine doing it on a regular basis.

Well, my DH is not a picky eater, but I have a couple of kids who are. I refuse to be a "short order" cook, so I tell them they can eat what I prepare, go hungry, or make their own PBJ. Them's my rules!

 

[mommy2emmersNmo]

I think you should go with

STITCH!!!

I vote for this, as it seems very fitting!

I was there the middle of Jan. this year. Not sure if the 1st week is much different, but it did get cold at night. Most of the time we wore pants with long sleeve shirts during the day & at night wore a jacket as well. We did have 2 days where we were able to wear shorts

That's very good to hear! Thanks for the information!

 

[mommy2emmersNmo]

Nope, I still plan on having several more.

































Oh wait, that was in a past life!

 

[Glynis]

Glynis, We will need to compare MIL stories as I am sure that my MIL will win this hands down. There is no one on earth like her!!

Oh, don't get me started. However, I must say, "she means well". I just refuse to leave my kids alone with her. There have been some inappropriate conversations with my little ones. Yikes!!!!!

 

[julia & nicks mom]

I'm lost, who is JAMIN? But oh yeah she leads a real boring life.

if this were me - I think my signature, my tag and every post would say -

"I once kissed Benjamin Bratt"

That's sounds awesome! And my driveway is waiting to welcome you, whether it be Maryland or Michigan. Our friends just bought one and my uncle has one. They both love it. Emma wants one soo bad, she thought it was very cool to have a house on wheels.

 

[Glynis]

Aren't most of us done?

Is there anyone else who might have another?!?!?!

Alan would say that we are, but I'm not so sure. I am thinking that I'm a bit old for another one, but Alan really wants Jacob to have a little brother.

I think we could have numerous prearrange marriages with all the kiddos around here as alot of them are very close in age!
