I wish we could. We'd love to meet up with you too but we're only open Friday and Saturday so we thought we'd beat the crowds-or at least some of them on Friday. With all the fall breaks this week, I'm sure it'll still be pretty busy.

Wow. Thanks. I'll be sure to make a list from all of these great tips and bring them with me when we go through the check-out process. Oh wow. Thanks. That's good to know! So glad to hear a positive review of the outback! We're not technically in a hurry to buy (although we can't wait!) and we're generally not impulse buyers but if we go and there's a great offer one that we KNOW we can use (within our weight and price limits and a floorplan/options we like), we're open to buying. That's a good point. I would never have thought about the vents. Is there a threa

I've been having way too much fun this past week. My husband is on nights for the month of October which means I've had quiet time (or as quiet as a house with two small kids can be) in the mornings while he's sleeping and I've been obsessively Googling TTs and all the new-to-me terms and options. We're going to our first RV show in Oklahoma City on Friday. Any suggestions on what to look for? Ask? Avoid? (For the record, most of the research we've done has been with Keystone options...specifically we're leaning towards the Outback 250RS or something similar)

Our son is at WDW (not the Fort but on property) with his grandparents and several other extended family members. My husband, daughter (2yo) and I were scheduled to join them but I got pregnant and put on travel restrictions so now we're home and jealous of our five yr old. They sent this pic yesterday when our son and two of his cousins went to Pirate's League...they ended the night at our favorite signature...Hoop Dee Doo....*sigh*

I think it's awesome that you're staying busy during the deployment and I'd be totally intimidated pulling a TT by myself too! Don't worry about people thinking your crazy or trying to undermine what you want to do. I got the same response when I drove 14 hours alone with our 3 yr old, 6 week old and giant dog to meet my husband in Florida for his R&R. They don't get it. They don't have to. Have fun on your trips and I hope your husband comes home soon!

I have a professional camera and LOVE to take pics so my husband got used to not having one on him but when he deployed to Afghanistan, we got him an underwater camera (more for the dust than water)-the Kodak Sport C123(less than $150) and it's been great! He dropped it several times while out on missions but the only thing that happened was some of the external paint now looks worn. It still preforms great and when he met us at Disney for R&R we were able to use it at Typhoon Lagoon (great shots of the shark reef) and on Kali River Rapids. The video capabilities are what surprised me the

I'm not surprised to read that. My husband has an unhealthy addiction to cars and trucks. At one point in our marriage we owned 7 vehicles, 6 of which were his. And one of his absolute favorites was a diesel VW Jetta

I'm sorry for your loss. We had two big dogs (a ridgeback and a husky lab mix) before we had children which is why we bought our first SUV but we lost our husky lab a couple years ago.

I see. Please forgive my ignorance... :)

I guess when it comes to the 4x4 it really does come down to whether or not we NEED it. I'm not sure. My suburban now isn't and living in very flat, mild (compared to up north where I grew up) winters Oklahoma, it hasn't been a necessity but there have been times I wished we had it and I do want to be able to travel anywhere...well, nearly anywhere with our TT. I'm not as concerned about the insurance rates because we're good drivers and that just sort of comes with it I guess.

It is a small world. When we lived in TN I ended up meeting a woman from another page that lived only five minutes from us and had at one point lived in our very neighborhood. It's crazy how the internet brings people together. We didn't buy the house on Main and we don't know your family but we're also not originally from here...and we homeschool (yes, we're "those" people, lol) but a couple of the moms in our homeschool group used to teach in Kingfisher so I'm sure they know your family.

I look forward to it!

When is the end of season officially? Or does it vary by location? Got it. No buying from Bubba.

And you have both crystalized the what the voices in my head have been arguing back and forth...still not sure what we're going to do yet but waiting until we're certain is the plan. I'm technically on bedrest (I really don't know how one does bedrest with two kids and a husband in the military) so buying one now would be pretty disappointing since we wouldn't be able to take it anywhere for a few more months

Wow...hello neighbor! We're in Kingfisher now (I'm originally from MN but my husband is from OKC) and judging from where you live, our team is probably not your team. I went to OU. BOOMER SOONER BABY!!!..but really as long as your not a Texas fan, we're good. The RV show we googled is at the OKC fairgrounds the second week of October and Leisure Time (out near Tinker...seem to have fair prices) is having one of their own (don't have to pay admission) on the same weekend
