Shopping for an RV - third time's the charm!

We finally chose an RV, ordered it, made a deposit, and are still happy with our decision.  It's a toy hauler (with a "garage" to carry motorcycles, ATVs, etc.), but we plan to have an office in the garage, and will likely never have any "toys" more exciting than electric bicycles or possibly Segways.

We ordered a new 2017 Grand Design Momentum 349M.  It's different from the just-discontinued Grand Design Momentum 348M because it's six inches longer in the garage.  Apparently one of the most popular "toys" to put in a Toy Hauler needed the extra space.  We were planning to buy used, but our local dealership doesn't play the games about MSRP, and the price was pretty reasonable.  It was an odd choice for us still, because we've never bought any big-ticket items new before.  But this way, we don't have to buy a generator (we plan to go solar and have a small emergency generator).  We got a few other options, including a king-sized bed, for now (more on that later!).

It will be delivered in 6 - 8 weeks.  Now we need financing, and a truck would be a good idea too.

We'd post a picture of it, but it wouldn't be "ours", and they're packed too closely at the dealership to take a decent picture, and we don't know if we can legally post the official pictures. If you really care, you can go to the official website.
