The new home has arrived! We got to go do a short tour of the new 5th Wheel a couple of days ago. It just arrived from the factory and is beautiful in every respect. We did our walkthrough and gave hem our first little squawk list. We'd asked for them to ~not~ install a TV in the bedroom, but they did anyway so the local service folks will uninstall it and give us a storage closet instead. We'd also ordered this unit with a convection-microwave, and it came with a standard microwave installed so they'll make good on that. 
We made an appointment to get the hitch installed in the truck on Monday, and since we'll be there in the morning we can spend some more time fine-tooth-combing the new dwelling and see if we can start figuring out how we're going to move in and live there in the near future. It's exciting beyond measure, and it drives into sharp focus the fact that our planning is starting to become reality.
We've been showing the house about 2 or 3 times a week, and we're very hopeful that it will sell soon, before we have to beging making too many payments for the new wheels, RV, and moving expenses. Your prayers would be coveted toward that end.
On another note, I went down to get license plates for the truck and got my dose of sticker-shock; to the tune of nearly a grand... I thought for a while that it might be less expensive to just not register the thing and see how much it'd cost to pay for the tickets we might get :) but decided against it. And... since the truck is less than six months away from purchase, it would fall under a 6% sales tax hit if I tried to register it directly in Florida. So, we'll just make sure we're all legal and above board and play by the rules.
Now, I gotta go get a nap before the mid-shift tonight. :(
