Well, here is our new-to-us rig. Don't ask--of course it is a FORD!!!  It is a 2000 Coachmen Catalina, Ford F53 w/V10 Triton. We purchased this last year and used it once w/o using facilities as we knew nothing about it. We winterized it as we live in Wisconsin, bought a Tyvek cover for it and parked it on wood until this spring. We decided to take a 3-week trip for our 40th anniversary after Tim is done with teaching. Slowly we figured out the cheapest route to tow our Ford Escape was an aluminum trailer. Tim got busy and reinforced the frame and hitch, wired chasis for trailer brakes, installed a Banks Transcommand in tranny (what a difference), added d-rings in trailer, replaced clearance lights on coach, replaced headlights, and are awaiting the Banks Ottomind Programmer for engine. We had 2 new front tires put on, and will replace back 4 when we can.  Lots of small repairs and things to tweek are done.  Now we are having trouble w/the refrigerator, so tomorrow hopefully can get in to a repair shop and get it fixed as we want to leave on Tuesday.  Everything is packed except cold food, bed mattress (didn't like the one in there), and a few odds and ends. Can't wait to get on the road.  First destination is daughter's home where 4 anxious grandchildren will be waiting--can't wait.
