While out checking on camp site possibilities we ran across a 5vr with truck for sale. We were warned about buying private, but we stopped to inquire anyway. The couple, mid 70's, have developed health issues and have to be monitored frequently thus have to give up RV'g. They have not camped for the past 2 years. They gave us a tour and to our amazement this 'showroom' condition 5vr was a 2005 model, a 39' Glendale 'Titanium' with a towing length of 34'. We bonded with this couple as if we could be great friends forever. We thanked them, told our story, and said that we are interested but we were not ready to buy.

I checked out all I could find on Glendale and 'Titanium' and found that they are ranked 5th out of all RV manufacturers. The 1999 Ford F350 Lariat with a 7.3 Lt Diesel has 220,000 Km and is capable of another 400,000 if the body will hold. The body does not have a scratch on it and like the trailer is in showroom condition. Jane was out on calls that day and dropped in to see a trailer park that she saw. She called me immediately to say she found the 'one', I met her there and viewed the 'Resort' with her, chose a site and agreed with her choice.

We bought the truck and trailer combo and booked a site, all with a deposit 'to hold' until we sell our home.
This all happening to fast and to easy, someone must be looking down on us.....again.
Thank you Dear Lord!
PS: Jane ran across a great deal on a corell setting for 8 for $75.00 and it was in one of her preferred patterns, this is getting scare!!!!
