Finally had time today to tweak out the Jordan, hook up and take a spin. So, had to take a pic for you. She looks good at work in spite of being a little dirty. 8)<br><br>The six speed was very nice with this load - - 16000#. Did not go far enough to get a real good feel for highway speeds, but it did very good up to 55. Still hugs the road like a sports car in spite of all that stuff behind her. Overall, very pleased.<br><br>FiverBob

Nice set-up. Did you encounter any hills? Just wondering how the white gost performed. How many slide outs do you have and how big is the 5er. Seems heavy, but looks great...<br>Big dawg

Really nice looking setup you have there. Hope everything works as good as it looks.

There are a few mole hills around Ocala, but Florida is very flat. Nothing like looking to your East where you are.<br><br>The Fiver is a Carriage, 36' triple slide. Mid kitchen, rear bay window. Loaded and full of water she is just shy of 16000#. How did the Ghost handle it - - well, she hugged the road just like empty, but obviously did not accellerate like empty. Did good - - still running a little nose high so have a little bucking yet. Need to drop the hitch another inch or so. Have not had it past 55 yet. Handled that very well. Sure tracks well.<br><br>Bob

Very nice pairing. I think I'd be tempted to sell my house and move into that 5er...although it looks like you've got a heckuva home too .

OK, how about a dealer who wanted the new automatic transmission?

Buzz

OK...now I'm up to speed. 6 speed, that is!

Nice set-up FiverBob. I finally get to pick up mine today.
They keep my old reliable 1996 Ram 2500HD V10. Looking foward to some gas economy and not having to stop every 300 miles.
What are you getting mpg towing? Just curious.

I have not towed enough with it to know yet. Just got it set up - - have only gone about 40 miles with it so far. Hopefully soon. Getting very good solo - - 18.3 combined, mostly city - - 4.10 rear end. Not bad.<br>Bob

Buzz, had a guy who wanted mine and I wanted a HO/48re. So long story short they make new one's everyday so down the road she went. That was the shortest time I've ever kept one,about 1 month. I usually keep em 3-6 months. My 03' HO/48re will be for sale in a few months. Anyone care to start the bidding now.

VERY nice rig fiver,<br> What types of places do you take it? I would'nt (could'nt)take it where I go.
