Getting the house on the market is huge!  Congratulations on that. I like your user name. We bought a slightly used 2018 Ram 3500 as well. I figure the resale value of a 2018 will go up several thousand dollars after the 2019 prices show up.  

The longer we work on our house to sell the more I tend to feel some things are good enough (such as the yard, room painting). Sixteen years ago we built this one and the house we moved from sold in two days.  I've always painted ours before the sale, outside and inside. Always wondered if the new owners came in and painted everything again. I'm hiring a handyman for a couple days. Together we should be able to get a long way to the final push with details such as trim I never put on the room addition. 

I put the word out two years ago or so that we would be selling. Karen is in charge of selling the house and got with a realtor a couple months ago. Yesterday at Walmart a guy stopped and asked if we were the ones that are selling the house on Seybold Street.  Karen invited him and family out to play on our trails in woods. That's a good sign.

Ordered the new fifth wheel last month and understand the build date may be as soon as mid-April. Karen and I sat down and took a look at our schedules through October when we plan to hit the road. Lots of traveling to do before then. Family stuff mostly before we head south for the winter.

Are you buying much accessories before you pickup your new home? Or just going with the starter kit and adding on as you go?  Did you pick a domicile?

 

We currently have a smaller 5th, and will transfer over most of the outside stuff, going to have a couple of yard sales to get rid of things we don't want to store, our new trailer should be in sometime May, we picked Texas for our domicile  was there in late Dec and Jan was so easy to transfer everything took one day.

We are going to have one open house and see how it goes homes are selling in 15 to 30 days here. once that happens we will be in Az for a short time then hit the road.

We love our 3500 had it a year now and plan on keeping for a long time this is my 3rd Dodge I have  had great performance from them all. maybe we will cross somewhere on our travels.

Peg and I are getting closer to our goal houses on the market now New 5th put on order in the planning for our first trip should be all set and on the road in May

Peggy and I will be members of the 2019 retiring at the end of April we started talking about this a year or so back we are putting our homes on the market and upgrading the 5th wheel already started the transition last month look forward to a new adventure on the road.
