Since we now have a place to go to in the winter and we still want to be in the RV in Maine in the summer, we decided that once we got back to Maine we really didn't need our truck anymore. Our RV park in Maine lets you store your RV there for free during the winter. Our Toyota Corolla, which we left in Maine for the winter, is 9 years old with almost 150,000 miles on it. We decided we would trade it and the truck in on a new Corolla once we got back to Maine. One Saturday a couple of weeks ago we stopped in at Superstition Springs (SS) Toyota here in Mesa to see what a new Corolla would cost. We explained our situation to our salesman, Roger Cary, before we did any looking. He still showed us the car and had us take a test drive. Then he wanted to know what we need in order to "make the deal happen." We explained that since we were going to trade in our truck on any new car that we bought what we would need is for them to move our 5th wheel from here in Mesa to Southwest Harbor, Maine for us. We were sure that that would end the conversation. To make a very long story a little shorter, and to our eternal surprise, they finally agreed to our terms! We still can't really believe it! We drew up an agreement which they signed, moved our junk from the truck into the new Corolla and drove home in it!
So now the plan is to drive the Corolla from Mesa to Detroit for a visit and then wait to hear when the 5th wheel is to be delivered (our agreement specifies a time frame for delivery). We'll then drive to Maine and meet our 5th wheel there to make sure it gets placed in the correct site and is set level. Of course we're staying on top of the situation to make sure our 5th wheel actually ends up in Maine, but the general sales manager, Brad Johnson, seems to have everything on track so far. We'll let you know how it plays out.
