Very nice! If the handling gets scary for you consider the full kit that Hendersons Line Up makes. I installed it on a friend’s Bay Star and it was night and day for them
 
Short hop up to Travelers Rest near Dade City for 4 nights to check out systems before our late summer trip. Checked in, got set up (nice site right on the 2nd fairway) cleaned the bugs off the front, and got in 9 holes of golf, then to the pool. Don't know how long I can keep this up. 🤣

St. Vrain State Park Frederick. Colorado

This morning I rolled up to St. Vrain State Park, North of Denver, conveniently located a fews miles from my Newmar dealer TransWest. While I'm here I will have a few annual service items done on the house/Newmar side on my coach. I will be back in this area in late June and will take care of some annual service items on the chassis/Freightliner side... (y)

TransWest in Frederick, Colorado is my home dealer, where I special ordered and took delivery of my 2022 Ventana 3407, and I have always received excellent service work done here on the house and chassis side... (y)

My home dealer was recognized at the annual Newmar Dealer meeting this past March with the Mahlon Miller Diamond Service Award. One of the eight Newmar dealers to receive the highest award for service. Additionally, they were also in the top 10 for sales... 👏

Today, the driveway for the first wash of the season, tomorrow Wells Beach Maine for Mother's Day weekend; a shakeout cruise as well.

She shined up nice with Mequiar's wash & wax. The reflection of the car (taken through a screen) and the house give a good idea of the shine by just washing, pics from Maine tomorrow.

Between sticks and bricks as we sell our current house to then downsize to a smaller home (with no stairs and hopefully an RV garage) afterwards. Wrapped up our NKK Oregon Explorers Chapter Rally in Winchester Bay, OR and just starting the first of several weeks at Roamers Rest RV Park in Tualatin, OR.

Rifle Gap State Park Rifle, Colorado

After gazing at the spectacular Rocky Mountains from the Front Range the past few weeks, today I drove into the Rockies over the Continental Divide. I slogged over 4 high mountain passes ranging from 8-9,000 feet to 10,100+ and 11,100+ feet heading for Rifle Gap State Park in Rifle, Colorado. My freshly serviced Ventana did a nice job tugging over the passes getting 5 mpg... not my typical 8 mpg. :ROFLMAO: I will be here a week visiting 2 of my children that live nearby in the Aspen Valley.

Still lots of white on those hills. Any idea on how long that snows stays?
 
This area just received a substantial amount of new snow last week. The higher peaks around 12,000-14,000 feet will usually remain capped with snow throughout the Summer.

It can, and does, snow at the higher elevations throughout the year. In the 50 years that I lived in the Rockies I've seen it snow all 12 months of the year.

Hey GlampDaddy, we too are at the Vineyards of Grapevine. Great spot. They really don’t need any more rain right now that’s for sure.
Yep, right on the verge of flooding here. What site are y’all in? We’re in H3, near the entrance.
 
@Harvest Hosting” at Armstrong Valley Winery in Halifax, PA. Beautiful property and incredibly nice folks who are so welcoming and making some pretty good 🍷

Plus 50A power to boot. Can’t beat it.
