RVTrader.com is good about sending new listings, in my case, anything with the word "fun mover" in it. One morning it was 2006 33C. It's been tough to find any Fun Movers, much less this rare model. It looked like it was in fairly good condition, had lived in the dry heat of the West, and would be a perfect fit. Spoke with Bill at First Class RV, and over the week we made a deal. One minor challenge was our new RV was located in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
Our First Adventure
The day was finally here.
The Plan: Fly to Vegas, meet Dad, drive to Arizona the following morning to pick up our 33C.
Then head East on Hwy 40 until we reached North Carolina.
That was it.
We crossed our fingers and hit the road, less than an hour into our ride home, we saw what we thought was smoke coming from the engine. What we found was that the radiator hose was not clamped and had blown off. With a bit of creative effort we reattached the hose, refilled the radiator, and get back on the road.

We left Lake Havasu City, AZ on Friday Dec 11th at 12:30PM
and arrived in Wake Forest, NC at 12:30PM on Sunday.
A BIG Thanks to my brother for his time, efforts, and company on our drive east.
