Picked it up today! May 18, 2017, 05:03:59 pm Flew into Denver, the seller picked us up and drove to his house where we drove off in our 2004 26.5 MB.Went to walmart to get some groceries and other stuff and walked out to snow/rain! Thankfully I had reserved a full hookup site at St. Vrain state park. So we're safely parked and spending time getting stuff settled.Hopefully the snow won't be too bad and we can leave around lunch heading south.I had planned to get a couple pictures of our new MB parked but it's too cold outside. 11 Likes

It took me 6 hours for the 2 ½ hr trip to Denver due to snow on Monument Hill (7500') and an accident there. It was a terrible drive and looked quite bad going S as well. Yesterday I was in shorts. Good luck on the drive back to St. George. What route did you decide to take?Chris

Enjoy the first leg on many more LD adventures to come. Another LD finds a loving home. Kinda makes ya warm all over.

Re: Picked it up today! Reply #9 – May 19, 2017, 08:29:31 am Hey, congrats and enjoy your new LD! You did pack your skis, right?
Re: Picked it up today! Reply #10 – May 19, 2017, 09:05:05 am We made it through the first night! Actually was pretty comfortable considering we forgot to buy pillows. Heater worked great, got most of our stuff put away. Drinking coffee and watching the dreary landscape outside. We'll check the road conditions and may leave around noon heading south towards Pueblo then either further south or west. After we go into town and buy 2 pillows. Thanks for the suggestions. 5 Likes

Re: Picked it up today! Reply #12 – June 09, 2017, 03:55:31 am I have a 2004 26.5 MB & am wondering what you paid for yours to get an idea what I could get for mine. Thank you.
Re: Picked it up today! Reply #13 – June 09, 2017, 07:41:56 am We made it home on Monday afternoon. Started out last Wednesday with my wife driving the Tahoe following me. Drove 60mph pulling the trailer and averaged 8.5 mpg. The last 2 days were in the rain. No problems and had an enjoyable but tiring trip. Had a wonderful trip from Colorado to Utah driving down to Canon City for the night. Then Ouray, drove down to Durango on 550. Over Monarch Pass to Mesa Verde. Another overnight at Wahweap on Lake Powell. Then on into Utah.Got settled into our spot on the Amite River in the rain. I've started changing out the interior lights to LEDs and a few other projects. 3 Likes
Re: Picked it up today! Reply #14 – June 09, 2017, 08:12:09 am Congrats! You will have thousands more enjoyable miles in your new-to-you rig. She's a beaut, too. Thanks for the trip report. We have been to every one of those spots over the years, some many times. Love that part of the country. 8.5 mpg sounds about right, too. Not much can be done to improve that number. Just enjoy the trip(s).Ray S. 1 Likes

Re: Picked it up today! Reply #17 – June 09, 2017, 03:14:05 pm The trailer is a 6'x10' enclosed trailer with a Rzr inside. About 2800# total. 1 Likes

About 2800# total.Had to look that up as I didn't know what a Rzr is. Looks like lots of fun! I used to ride dirt bikes in my younger days but those days are over, I'm afraid. Anyway, thanks for sharing the photos- looks like you saw some awesome sights on your trip back home!
