Larry&Donna-AK Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Thank you to all, it's been an experience. My DW has had to listen to all my rants abouts the delays and there are a few glitches with what we ordered and what arrived but all is good. Finally everything is starting to come together and we should be driving down the road no later than Friday to Herrins.

Jack Mayer Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Larry, I assume you are staying with the truck during the build? I HIGHLY recommend that. There are lots of decision to make, and as good as Herrin is, it still requires monitoring, IMO. Let me know if you want a recommended place to stay. Fernbrook is where we stay now....

Jack, thank you for the advice. Generally, we have planned to hang around that area (Herrins). We have some logistics to work out, mainly what do with our Automobiles. We've also toyed with idea of visiting the ECR while we wait. I haven't asked if the Smart needs to be with the Truck, that will be another dilemma. We've just sold our Motorhome so we're homeless for a while. Planning Nanook version 2.0 Nanook "When we made ready to depart, after a few days, Nanook was beside himself with joy.

whatsnext Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Larry- Herrin does not need the Smart but just needs to know the year. You'll need the Smart with you toward the end and when you pick it up. Just make sure he gets the wheel chocks lined up properly based on the WB dims of the Smart. 2016 Volvo VNL780 D13 I-Shift 2016 DRV 44 Houston 2015 Smart Cabriolet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
