Just put down a deposit on a 16FKTH that is scheduled to be built April 18th.  We'll be parting ways with our 1998 Palomino hard side pop-up.  The PUP served us well for the short time we have had it, but ever since I say the 14FKTH at the RV Supershow in Dallas I've wanted to get one.

Too bad they discontinued it, according to the KZ rep I spoke too, it was too short for golf carts and some atv's.  Going with the 16' means switching to a class III hitch so I can get a weight distributing hitch and sway controller for my Ford Escape.  But I think it will be worth it.  The mini toy haulers are pretty scarce in my area, the Houston KZ dealer doesn't want to stock them, so I took my business 200 miles south to Corpus Christi.

We'll be putting to use right away as we will book a spot at the Corpus KOA so we can give it a good shake down.

I just spent the weekend at Goose Island State Park just north of Rockport.  That might be an option for you for your shakedown unless you just happen to like KOA's.

And welcome to the world of the Sportsmen Classics.  While I don't have the TH, I do have a 16 – the 16BH and enjoy it.

Well, it's been built Laugh  Now it's just sitting there at the factory until May6th…when it ships Yell

In hindsight, I could have gone through my local dealer (10 minutes from my house), since they told me about 8 weeks to get one on their lot.  I thought I'd get it a little sooner since this one was already in the pipe to be built…..oh well…

Knowing it's sitting there, and the fact that we already sold out pop-up, makes it all the worse for waiting. Cry

Oh no!  Well I hope you get it in time to get some spring camping in!
