DOUGWE's BIG DAY OUT
Permalink  

I have been invited to a Indian Village tomorrow and be introduced to the "Chief"

Yep off to see the "Chief" Caravans being built. I hope to see a "Feather" (the model I am getting) in production as well. They had one there late last week so hope to see the single beds in real life.

I feel like a big kid and very excited. I am really looking forward the my visit. Wonder if they do take away  biggrin

Already found it exa, "Chief" 19'6" Feather. Just going to see them in production. Then back to dealer to finalise colours etc and pay deposit. I verbally said yes last week.

Have heaps of pics already Blue but not my van cos it's not born yet. Their web site is pretty good though.

I,m really pleased for you Doug but, it's the take away bit, it bothers me a little. Could this be the last we hear of Dougwe? I mean, have you seen the size of their pots? Do you really know what goes in there? I mean there's been a few stories written.

Anyway - Have a great day

The chief assures me they are not canabals, Friar.  Some might think it would be good if I ended up in the big pot, never to return.

 LMAO Doug, there'd be a lot of very full bellies if they were. Definitely not a Jenny Craig feed, lol

Mmmmm, now there lies a dilemma C1. I reckon I am a bit crazy so Chief Crazy Cat would fit BUT my favourite feathered (mmm, feathers) friend (bird) is the Eagle so Chief Wild Eagle would also fit. Decisions, Decisions confuseconfuse

One thing is for sure, the "Chief" feather caravan will be in my possession early in the new year now. I decided to go with Early February Delivery. Allowing me more time to sell Base Camp without rushing it. Bugga really but never mind, I'm very happy.

I checked out the factory but unfortunately there was not a lot to see as they are smack bang in the middle moving to a bigger and better factory as business is booming. I did get to see enough to convince me all will be more than good so very happy.

May I say that Luxury RV's in Croydon, Vic. have been fantastic with nothing a trouble. Matt, the GM always gave me the pros and cons of anything I wanted to change or add so I would get exactly what I want and need. He was on the same page as me at all times. Very impressed. Have I said I'm happy?

I have nothing to do with Luxury RV's at all other than buying from them BUT I have only mentioned them as we all hear about the bad side of caravan dealers and or manufactures I thought a good news story was due.

February is not that far away, IS IT confuse Please say no smile

Oh! Have I mentioned I am a happy camper confusebiggrin
