[A/S] new trailer & tow mirrors
I did it - I closed the deal today on a 28' CCD sitting on a dealer's
lot! Color is Blue Streak, and it comes with the full awning package,
audio/video upgrade (seemed pricey, but it was already in), skylight,
spare and extra Fan-tastic vent.
I can hardly believe it. After all the time thinking and researching
what kind of RV would be best for me and my dogs, it's finally happened.
I had started looking at MH's in 2003, then lost interest when my Mom
died, and started looking again last summer.
But now I'm thinking of things I realize I hadn't thought of, like tow
mirrors. I know the Chevy/GMC 2500 can come with camper mirrors, but as
I look at the brochure it doesn't really look like they'll do the trick
with a wide body A/S on the back of the trailer.
Does anyone have suggestions on what kinds of mirrors work best? I have
a flyer on the Marrakesh (sp?) mirrors but wondered if there are others
I should consider.
Also, I never thought about insurance. Do I just call up my agent on
Monday and say, "Hey Wayne, how much is it gonna cost to insure an
Airstream?" Does it go on a house policy or a car policy? Or will I
need special RV insurance? (I already had upgraded my AAA w/ RV
coverage for breakdowns)
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
