It's Tuesday July 29th, day 89 of our 2025 summer adventure. My morning walk was earlier than normal, as we have a 9am appointment at Lazydays to pick up our new motorhome!
Gary and Sheryl came over and they are following us down in their car, just in case... you can never be too prepared! Just before we left, we got a text from our delivery advisor, Michelle. There was an error code on the chassis, so it is in the shop right for diagnosis and repair. So, we are waiting for another hour before we leave. For those of you that know Charlie, you know waiting is not his strong suit!
We finally depart for the dealership. Charlie and I are driving our 2015 Winnebago Aspect for the last time! She has been a great RV. She has taken us from coast to coast and into the Canadian Provinces several times! I hope she goes to a good home and gives them as much joy as she gave us!
When we got to Lazydays, Gary's contacts were very helpful. The man that runs the check-in station in Tampa was friendly with Gary. He worked with him when delivered rigs from Ft Pierce Lazydays. It never hurts to have friends in your corner, when you are trading in your rig and you want top dollar for your trade!
We dropped off the Winnebago and Gary & Sheryl took us to the lobby to meet up with Michelle. We were seated and then Michelle came in. WOW, she is a little spit fire, but very friendly, competent, and knowledgeable! She kept us updated and about 30 minutes after we arrived she was taking us to see the rig and do the walk through with John Smith.
We purchased a 2024 Entegra Coach Esteem XL. It's on a Ford F550 chassis. We are very excited to bring her home and start making new memories in her! I only took a couple pictures after we took delivery, but here are the pictures that were on the website when we fell in love with her!
Can you tell Charlie is excited?!
As we pulled out, I captured this picture of our old rig.
This is the last post from this series in our blog, so I will provide you with our travel stats:
We left home on May 2nd and returned on July 26th.
85 nights of camping at a total cost of $3,252. Which breaks down to an average of $38 per night.
We traveled 4,510 miles and stayed in 13 states.
We used 566 gallons of gas in the RV. We spent $1,640 on fuel and the average price per gallon was $2.89.

We saw countless family and friends and made infinite memories. Which is priceless!
