Update
It has been a very eventful 1 1/2 weeks. We went to the dealer Monday last week under the assumption to be moving into our new rig that afternoon or the next morning. Well, people that have done this will know that things are never as easy as you hope for. We got there around 11 am and they were still cleaning the rig. By early afternoon it was moved to the spot next to us. We hooked up our Direct TV box to their satellite system and could not get it to work, since there satellite looked for a channel that our box does not receive on. The afternoon passed and the issue was not resolved. We decided that we would not move in until everything was in correct working order.
The next morning came around and after a few phone calls they fixed that problem. We did our walk through for about two hours and figured that we would start moving in after lunch. Well, that did not happen since the awning had arrived and the dealer wanted to install it that afternoon, since he was booked up the following day. We started moving in at 3 pm and did not finish until 6 hours later (and we had not started the basement yet). I have never felt so sore in my whole life. We finished moving the basement on Wednesday and were on our way to Sheboygan Thursday morning.
It was an interesting trip with some minor problems, but nothing that we could not handle. We arrived at the campground near Sheboygan on Friday to find out that they did not have a spot big enough for us. We found out really quick that there is a lot of campgrounds that can't accommodate a 40' rig and by 5 pm we were getting a little bit frustrated. My sister-in-law had found a campground that told her that there was no problem. Well, when we finally got there they told us that they accommodate rigs up to 32 foot. After about 30 minutes and some creative thinking, we got our rig parked (by using some of my in-law's spot) and parked the truck in their overflow lot.
We had a great weekend with Doug's brother and wife and their son's family. By Monday I was even more exhausted and we decided to move on further north towards the upper peninsula of Michigan. Everybody warned us that we probably will not have Internet and they were pretty much correct. We are in a casino campground northwest of Green Bay, which is really nice, but the Internet is so slow that I have problems looking at my e-mails. Therefore there will not be any new pictures of the rig until we get somewhere with better Internet. So, we are doing well, just hanging here, relaxing and enjoying our new rig. I have done four loads of laundry already and loving every minute of it.

Hi,
Thinking about you guys. I keep checking back, but no post.
Very SAD deal about Teton closing shop isn't it? it took us all by surprise. Hope you know that there is a yahoo teton group.
If I were you I would get the CSP warranty through Good Sam. That way you have some help with any problems you might have.
Don't worry, you still have a SUPER rig and you will enjoy it. We have had Tetons since 1995 and have not been sorry, you won't either....
Anxious to hear from you, if we can help on anything, let us know.
Hugs
Mike McFall
